Well under $300? That’s awesome! I’m in the market for either that planer or the comparable Rigid and would love to come across that deal!

Hmmmm… stand…. this’ll work for now :)

Inch and a quarter thick particle board computer desk on casters. Been in the basement for about 2 years with stuff on it and no sag. The casters probably won’t hold up, but I sat on this and scooted myself across the basement floor and they didn’t complain. So for now…. good enough. hehehe

and I’m just about one extra donut over 200 pounds… :)

Congrats, I just bought my first planer too, it’s a Rigid 4331, I love it.

It looks so shiny sitting there…. almost don’t want to get it dirty! hahahah.

Have to exercise a little self control here. I’m still working out exactly where and how I’ll be clamping up the cabinet carcasses. I free-handed one on my bench last night and had to pull it square. I did that one standing on its bottom. I think I want to try one laying on its face AND have some squaring guides fixed to the bench top and see if that goes any easier.

SO…. I need to push the new planer off to one side and get a little focus….. at least until tomorrow hehe

That’s awesome! I just found a 735 at a thrift shop for $225, so I’m feeling pretty gloaty as well! No warranty on mine since it is not a refurb, but I thought it was a steal and it works great! I just need to build some infeed and outfeed tables, but I’m already getting a lot of use out of it.

I’ve had that one for a few years.. Great machine. You’ll love the work that it does. If it’s your first planer then your woodworking experience is about to take a change for the better. Heck you can get spruce 2×4’s to look pretty with this machine.

Great machine, it’s a workhorse, I’ve had mine for a couple of years, and I use a lot of pallet, and reclaimed lumber, worth it’s weight in gold, 80lbs if I remember. Good luck with it, the knives are double sided and I found a place online that sells the set of 3 for $37. If I can remember the site I will forward it to you, I want to say global something…....better not go by my memory.
