Planner? I just mark stuff on my calandar. I don't know what kind
it it, my mother sent it to me. Save your money, and buy a planer
instead.

Try waxing the table. I have the same planer and I do not have a problem with
wide boards.

I just bought a DeWalt 13" which is advertised as "portable". Well it
weighs in at 96 lbs. I built a stand with castors under it and that is as
far as "portable" goes. Luv the way it works!

If we did not know your wife was named Virginia, it could be you have a
romance with a bottle of booze. I like a little gin once in a while,
probably have some later today. Maybe a toast to JOAT is in order.
Hey Bob, lighten up. Sure it was a typo, we all make them and sometimes get
a good chuckle out of them. I've made mine and it was brought to light a
few times and I laughed right along.. I'd like to see you work at our
place. Bet you'd quit by lunch time if you are that serious about trivial
matters.

How much do you want to use it? I have a DeWalt 12 1/2" portable planer,
but it is underpowered for wide boards. I can't set it for a slim enough
cut on a wide board, such as 10" or more. It will run several feet and then
bog down, digging in as it stops. If I cut to length first, usually I can
plane OK. (yes, I keep my blades sharp). If you want to regularly buy
rough cut lumber and plane to thickness yourself, a portable planer is not
up to it, IMHO.

No, flames are for school kids. Real debates over real issues are
stimulating and educational. Take the recent questions about the Btu
content of wood. I learned from it not only by what other said, but by
doing a little research on my own. Will it change my life? No, but any
knowledge is good.

If not Virginia, could be Gina. Or Ginger. I like ginger ale; see, back to
the bottle again.

Well worth it if you want to plane a 12 3/4" board.
Either one is suitable, look for other features that will make your final
decision. I like my Delta 580, but DeWalt also makes good planers. Don't
let the two or three speed thing be a major factor. Once the blades are
used a bit, there is little difference between the two as an end result.
Nice feature, but not a "must have".

For what it's worth, I'm still using a Ryobi AP10 (10 inch) that I purchased
18 -20 years ago and it handles any thing I put in it just like it did
umpteen years ago when I first bought it.
A Ryobi rep (back in the days when Ryobi had rep's) once told me that the
wider the cutter on portable planers the more troublesome (bearing failure)
they were. RM~

I have used a DeWalt planer for the last 5-6 years and I have only
purchased rough cut lumber during that time...I admit I do not attempt
to remove 1/8 of an inch per pass BUT I can say I do not find it
underpowered.... NOW if e were talking a 100 board foot a day or even
a week I would agree with you...but for most home hobbiest who plane
about 1000 BF a year at the ost they work fine...

OK Edwin. First, my wife's name is not Virginia, although that was a
reasonable assumption on your part. Second, I WAS born at night but not
LAST night...I recognize and appreciate light hearted criticism as well as
anyone. If I were the first to be offended by the tone of JOAT's messages,
I might feel a little remorse for what I posted. There have been several
critical of him. This clown tries to disguise his petty criticisms as humor,
and some apparently buy it. Some don't. If he's free to continue posting
in the manner he does, then I, and others of my ilk, are free to criticize
him. His defenders remind me a little of the girls in grade school
beseeching the boys to not tease the class nitwit..."Leave him alooooone."
I find a good flame war stimulating, invigorating, don't you?
Now, if you can figure it out; regarding email, I have no equal.

Now that's interesting indeed. Didn't know I was being critical.
Learn something every day. Gee, maybe the people who've caught me
misspellling words were being critical, instead of being humorous. Do
you think? But, no, they didn't call me stupid for misspelling a word
or two, so I figure they were just poking fun. I don't recall calling
the original poster stupid or it either, so I must just have been poking
fun. OK, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Feel free to put
me in your killfile, or ignore my posts. Have a nice life.

Oh, is that what it it? You sarcastic, pompous piece of shit. You knew
goddamned good and well what the OP meant but chose to be the smartass that
you usually are anyway. I have very few blocked message senders, but you
are one of them. Every now and then, while following someone else's post
and replies, I'll come across one of your inane responses. You used to love
to berate anyone who asked a question on this group without first having
done a thorough Google search, all the while you post endless search results
that nobody asked for. Since you do have a few defenders, you seem to think
that you enjoy some sort of celebrity.........you don't.
Let he who makes no typographical or spelling errors cast the first flame.

Yeah, I recall seeing that, just as I pushed the button. Too late

JOAT made light of a post but did it in a humorous, light manner. There
was no nastiness or malice evident. You took offense at something not
even directed at you and did so viciously.
Please don't get the idea I'm defending JOAT as I don't know the man,
only his posts. Then again, I only know you by your posts.
With such unsuppressed rage as is demonstrated in this last post I have
to wonder - as I'm sure others do - if perhaps your email address is at
least partially indicative of your problem.
In any event....
Plonk!
