I want to purchase a 15" planer sometime this year and would like some feedback/opinions/advice please. I was pretty sure I wanted a 15" Delta the local dealer here (www.theworkbench.com) is asking $1236.00 for it. They also sell Powermatic and it is selling for about $1800.00. I looked in the Grizzly catalog tonight and their 15" closed stand sells for $745.00.
So my question is several fold...anyone have the grizzly and what are your opinions....anyone demo the grizzly versus the Delta or Powermatic? Is it like the old saying "you get what you pay for"? Since I only plan on ever buying one planer (no plan to upgrade later)...it is something I plan on living with for a very long time and I want to make a good decision ... I know this forum is a great place to get the advice I need.
Should I look to buy a good used one at a savings?
Thanks in advance for your help!
