This is one of those days.Went to the woodshop to plane some oak for a TV stand.My old Detlta planer quit after a couple passes.Found the problem,burned up belt and planer shaft in bad shape.About time to buy a new one.Went to Home Depot,looked at a Rigid 13 inch 2 post,2 blade for 379.00.Supposed to be a lifetime warranty,if anything goes the matter with it just bring it in and they will give you a new one.They also had a 13 inch Dewalt,4 post design 2 speed,3 blade for 499.00.Looked at Sears they had a 13 inch Craftsman for 429.00,4 post design single speed 2 blade.Have any of you had any experience with any of these models?Or do any of you have any other reccomendations for planers in that price range?I would like some opinions before I lay out that much money.THX Dale
