I am happy with my planner/molder. I found a reducer to hook the dust collector to my shop vac.
I wish they would show all the knives as an optional buy link.
I can not find replacement planner knives as well, this site does not show any for the 15 inch model.
I have used this for planning 5/8" solid...

This planer was purchased for my High School classes. It was a bargain price at $800.00 compared to some other industrial quality units I had been shown. It was a major disappointment. The power feed rollers slip. The knives dulled rapidly. Snipe is acceptable, but not as good as a little Dewalt 12 1/2"...

The overall performance is good. One drawback is the dust bag. It is to short to reach a standard 30 gal garbage can. Had to build platform for can to sit on. The ring for attaching a 30 gal bag broke when trying to assemble. Totaly useless.
It would be nice if you displayed the cutter options and had a link to the cutters. I had to read the manual to get the cutter numbers.
I bought this planer for my husband as we are building a new house. Thankfully I also bought an extended warranty for two years. The repair man has been here about six or seven times all ready and the machine is still not working properly (he is coming again today). It is a poorly made machine and certainly has been a liability for my husband. I would not recommend this machine for a do-it-yourself carpenter - there is nothing "professional" about this product!!
