In the FWIW department. I have a older Grizzly planer and a friend just
bought the new version, both are great heavy duty machines that do the job,
lots of cast iron and very little sheet metal. The Woodmaster machines that
I have looked at have a lots of sheet metal showing and look light duty. My
only experience with the two as far as use is concerned come from a mill
where I used to buy lumber. He had just bought a Grizzly planer to
supplement a Woodmaster that he had, he was saying that the Grizzly was
planning about twice the wood as the Woodmaster, It could have been because
the Woodmaster blades were dull or a number of other reasons he was very
happy with it until he got the Grizzly.

I can only say that Grizzly is tops in my book. I've had a whole
assortment of brands over the years but now my shop is all
