I'm just about ready to bite the bullet and buy a bench top planer. The general consenus seems to be that the Dewalt 2 speed model is the tops. But I'm a little concerned about the quality of the unit. I have been hearing of several occasions where people have been having problems with the drive sprocket breaking. Does anyone know if this issue has been taken care of, or should I wait a while before making my purchase. As an alternative, I have also been considering getting the model below it that also uses the 3 knife cutter head. Any suggestions are welcome.
