I picked up one at a garage sale yesterday and checked it out online
after the fact. It seems that they had some issues with a breaking
sprocket, but there's little information if that's old news or still
happening.
Has anyone here bought one within the last year or so and, if so, has
it been smooth running or have you had problems with it? Any feedback
at all on it is appreciated. Thanks.

You might search the group for previous discussions. I recall about
3-4 months ago this planer, and its reported problems, came up. I am
also in the market for a planer and the earlier comments sent me to
Amazon's reviews. Seems that in addition to sprockets, it had an
issue with short blade life. However, some of the comments here
suggested that these problem reports were a few years old and issues
had been corrected. A quick look at problem review dates seemed to
bear this out.

I bought one a little over a year ago (probably May/June 08). I
certainly don't use it every day but it works fine.
