Trying to deice on a 20” spiral cutter head planer. Thinking about grizzly for the bang for the buck, but I have had a few issues with the last two big machines I bought with Grizzly.

Woodworking brethren, any suggestions or advice?

Especially for the 2 grizzly models G0454Z and G1033. Is there that much difference in the capabilities of these 2 machines?

Anybody used a General 20” spiral head?

Anybody own one?

Thanks Guys…
