i got a really good deal on a Jet 20" 5HP 3 phase planer...for some reason Amazon had it on sale for something like $800. Here's a link to the model http://www.southern-tool.com/store/jet_20-planer.html
anyway, what should i expect as far as finish goes? i haven't used it much but it seems i'm getting a fair amount of tearout on some alder.
