I've been thinking about dispensing with my portable planer and moving
up to one of the larger stationary models, probably a 15 inch. If you have experience using these animules, I'm curious as to whether you think a stationary table offers any significant advantage. I like the fact that the Jet and Powermatic planers both have the motor mounted in the lower cabinet, but that means the head is stationary and the table moves up and down when you adjust for thickness. Problem? I can imagine that it would be handy to have auxiliary stationary infeed and outfeed platforms, but not with a planer of this design. I'm kinda leaning towards the Delta 15"; comments on this model? And what about those "return to infeed position" rollers on the tops of the stationary-head models? Those look kinda handy, and you can't do that with the Delta; you have to carry the board back around to the front of the planer to refeed. |
