How come nobody ever talks about this lunchbox planer? It is well reviewed in Amazon (52x4.5 stars).
The consensus around here seems to be that the DeWalt 735 is the best of breed, but the poor knife life is widely known. As far as I know, it has not been fixed yet. Granted, the DeWalt is a beefier machine, but if people are getting good results with the Makita is this really an issue?
What am I missing about the 735 that makes it better? Are there any Makita owners out there that can give me the low down on the 2012?
Thanks,
Matt
