Re: Please assist with the age and other binformation on this machine.
That looks like a Cooksley planer thicknesser that has been cannibalised to just a thicknesser by
removing the tables, if you have the tables you maybe able to restorei it, if not you only have a
thicknesser.

Re: Filling nail holes in oak
Whatever finish you use l would recommend not using anything water based. My choice for filling pin hole would be using hard wax sticks after you apply the finish, l often mix colours to get a better colour match.

Re: Router cutter for CNC work in melomine
No problem Mark, I use Rennie Tool Co and Wealdon Tools they both have a great selection of quality tooling at a fair price.
The cutter l use for your situation would be a SOLID CARBIDE 2 FLUTE UP DOWN COMPRESSION ROUTER BIT 8mm x 32mm, they also come in other length options

Pete, I have made a few of these, mostly 2 step, the 3 stepper is quite dangerous as the top step is immediately above the foot below it which can make it unstable, have a look at the proportion of a normal set of kitchen steps.
