Here is the bed I designed using Inventor and now is at the finish process:

My question is: how many pounds do I need? ...

Is there a relationship between the infeed/outfeed table and length of stock you are machining?

If your piece exceeds the above, will an infeed/out table help?

Should I just do a preventative strike and complain to Dewalt about the linkage, blades and rollers so that I have the parts on hand when they break?

On the reccomendations of many people, I purchased the Dewalt 13" thickness planer (reconditioned) knowing full well of all the initial production issues they've had with the linkage and power...
