Ok here is the deal. My father and I are saving for a new Planer. We are shooting for a 20" 5hp with Byrd Helix Head. We are hobbiest but like the good stuff.
So the question is "you have $3500-$4000 burning a hole in your pocket, you have to buy a planer. Which brand, options, other do you buy"?
We are set with other tools. The planer seems to be the weak link in our shop.
Thanks in advance for the input.
