First, I can see the limitations of this compared to a old school heavy iron planer but I have a chance to get a very low use 718 with the spiral head, it does not have the pro pack or any of the non-planer items with it but it does have the knife head. The price is such I am sure I can use it for quite a while and at least break even if not make money. I love my WM sander but have mixed feelings on the planer, especially if I only plan to use it as a planer. Over time I expect to replace it with an old heavy iron medium duty planer, but this may work well in the short term.
1. are you happy with your WM as a planer
2. anyone replace the rubber infeed roller with the steel one
3. anyone have direct comparison to a standard import 4 post planer
