i looked for used and found a Toshiba.(forgot the model number), its a semi
production unit, weight 350 lbs and on wheels. Its fantastic. When I was
shopping you will spend twice that on a new one that does both planing and
jointing, which the Toshiba does. So even though it was way overkill for
me, it was 1/2 the cost of a new benchtop planer/jointer.

my advise is to get a jointer too, either as part of the planer or as a
seperate unit....you will nee that......and then look for used to save some
heavy $.

Thanks for helping me if anyone can do so.
Looking at thickness planers, 12" or so.
Will not be doing a lot of 'heavy' planing. maybe 200' per winter. Have
read all the ads......Delta Craftsman Ryobi Dewalt etc.
So does anyone have a choice, preference, opinion, wish they had bought
another brand ?
Is there really any major difference ?
Going crazy tring to decide, someone out there can help i know !!
Thank You !
