I went to two stores to get even close to acceptable panels and wasn’t altogether satisfied with them (filled knots and VERY thin veneer).

I put the new (spare) set of knives on and have tried planing some boards. I have a bunch of rough sawn white oak and butternut that I want to build a pretty big project with but am very concerned about using this planer to get to the finishe... |
