Does anyone have any experience with this planer?
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0505

I have been looking for an inexpensive, portable, but quality planer for a while, and for the price based on the reviews I have read this is sounding good.

It looks a little cheap/cheesy to me, but then again, I'm a little cheap and cheesy myself so it might not matter

I am going up to NY sometime in April, and my route takes me right past the Grizzly showroom in Muncy PA, so I was gonna stop in and get it if I convince myself. That would at least save me the shipping!

If space weren't such an issue, I could get this guy http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0477

but that would have to go in my house if I bought it!


Any feedback is welcomed

Yeah, Michael has a two stall shop, which his wife once called a garage.

I bought mine (recon) last year from ToolKing for $359.00 + free shipping. Find them on ebay. Took 10 days to arrive.
