3 Girls & A Woodworker #7: another possible Planer.....

I googled “craftsman 12 1/2 inch planer molder” and found what appears to be that machine. It’s an older machine and people have had difficulty finding the proper replacement knives for it. For $200, you should be able to do better than that.

If you can bump up your price a little bit, I’d consider making an offer on this (but don’t pay full price!): http://rochester.craigslist.org/tls/2399147338.html Based on the description, it would appear to be a DW734, which is a current model.

I had problems with “one project” toys. The planer (2 blade version) that I have, spent $75.00 for it, was “new” ish. After replacing the bearings, rollers, and knifes – it has worked pretty well but the overall price was $200.00 when done.

If the one project was milling the wood from reclaiming a log cabin, you may want think this over.
