    Reconditioned Dewalt Planers

    I do not have experience with this company (CPO), but I ordered a reconditioned DW734 today for $319 including shipping (there is a $20 discount for any Dewalt order over $99, plus free shipping). They also have the DW735, but from what I have read the differences between the two are the 735...

    Planers galore

    13" Planers

    I'm in the market for a 13" Planer. Would appreciate any feedback on the Ryobi model available from Home Depot and the New Hitachi Planer available from Lowes. Has anyone purchased one of these or seen them in action?
