I have my eyes on a lot of grizzly equipment, but my planer is the
Ryobi 13 inch model. If you aren't doing it for a living, I think the
Ryobi works great. I used it to plane the 4x8 stock you see in this
photo: www.astutesolutions.net/images/workbench.jpg and the 2x10's that
are layed in the center of it. The stock was some pretty nasty looking
stuff before I planed them down.

If you have doubts about the Ryobi, don't buy until you need it. Use
it, and if you don't like it, take it back. Thats what I did and ended
up keeping it.

Thanks.
Jeff
