I need to move up from my Delta 12" planer to one with something more
to it. (I have about 1000 b.f. of old growth oak barnboards to plane
down) I'm thinking about the Jet JPM-13.

Anyone have anything good bad or indifferent to say about it? How long
have you had it? How much wood have you run through it? Would you buy
it again? What would you change about it?

I've had a closed stand version with the infeed and outfeed rollers for 3.5
years. I had a Dewalt 733 prior to that and find the Jet to be far superior
in terms of power and volume. I also like the fact that it has it's own
stand with built in wheels so that it can be rolled out of the way easily. I
leave the feed speed set to the slower speed all the time as it's fast
enough for my needs. If I were trying to make a living with it I'd probably
run it at high speed most of the time! I don't know how much wood has been
through it but I've run maple, oak, fir, pine, and plywood through it with
good results. I'd buy it again.
