What is this Rockwell brand tool called?

I inherited some tools and found this in one of the buildings. As you can see the motor with chuck is attached to a pivoting arm which is connected to a shaft.

At the base are mounting holes. I've never seen another like this and don't know if it was part of a kit of some type. My uncle owned a construction firm in Dallas several years ago and maybe that's where it came from.

Looks similar to a setup I saw with a router on 4 rails that let it move in all directions but kept the depth the same. I feel like it was called a router planer.

just google the model or serial number and it should tell you everything you need to know. Your pic is too blurry or I would google it for you.

What does the part number say

Also could be the motor off an old table saw. Mounts under the table

What does the part number say

PLR-219. I was busy with other things and somehow missed that part #.


Edit: Ah hah, it's a grinder motor for sharpening jointer knives. Got two large jointers I need to try it out on.

It is a knife grinding joiner attachment. Pretty cool. Here is a link to the PDF telling you everything you would want to know about it.

Thanks for that link and answer. Man, if only I had known what it was for, could've been using it.
