Hello all.
I have narrowed down my search for planers between a 24 inch Cantek for $7300, this machine has German made 4 sided carbide inserts.
The next machine is a Cantek 20 inch with 30mmx12 carbide inserts, this machine has ekectronic table and is $9610

The salesman said that I may get lines in my work from the 4 sided carbide cutters as they will do this when rotated. Any idea what he is talking about?
I don’t remember this happening on a 20 inch Powermatic I used and multiple other machines. He also said that the cutters in second machine were mounted vertically? They are 36x12mm

We will have a wide drum sander to remove marks if needed... I’d like to go with the 24 inch if possible but wanted to see what others thought.
I have been talking with the Cantek America people and they have been excellent in responding and answering questions but I wasn’t quite sure about this info
