    John, you get the fancy head for that planer and haven't used the spare set of knifes you got, I know someone who could use them.

    Also looking in the griz catalog their 15" planer looks exactly like the york, like to know what changes they made?

    Al...who's still happy with his york 8" joiner and 15" planer
    Remember our vets, they need our help, just like they helped us.

    Not sure how soon that might happen, Al BUT, you are STILL welcome to visit ANY time!!! Oh, and Karl's hacienda is just barely an hour from my humble abode!

    John, where have you been hiding?

    It seems you haven't posted in what, 8 months?

    Good to see you pop up

    Yeah, well I figure I was about "due"!!! LOTS of stuff going on, not the least of which has been "life". Busy with both jobs, too!

    Thanks! I still check it out as time permits! (In between installations right now...)
