My little 12.5" portable planer disintegrated when the board got jammed
in the cutter head. Roller bushing and sprockets shattered and the
sprocket keyway torn off part of the drive shaft. Parts are on order and
hope to have it running in a few weeks.

Anyway, I'm looking for something more heavy duty, maybe 15" or 20" floor
models. Been looking at Grizzly with good prices. Any recommendations?

The 15" Grizz at school was a good planer. Had problems with all the
other Grizz tools, though the company was kind in sending replacement
parts. Has bed rollers, serrated infeed and a decent motor. Learn to
avoid getting your hands pinched with those aux in and out rollers,
because they're easy to hurt yourself on.



And speaking of in feed and out feed rollers, the Delta's in feed and out
feeds have steel between the rollers making it virtually impossible to pinch
your fingers.
