I have 2 planers from DeWalt. One is the 2 blade DW733 that I use for cleaning up wood and the other is the DW735 with a SHELIX helical cutter head. If I were to start over I'd probably get a Grizzly that was bigger but if I wanted to stick with a benchtop today I'd get an Oliver. https://olivermachinery.net/12-5in-planer It has all the features that you end up adding to other planers and it's cheaper in the long run. |
