 | 15 inch planer review in Popular Woodworking |
|
| Popular Woodworking (Feb 2005) seemed to push the planers that had moving
tables rather than the moving heads. Rationale was that the blades were
easier to change for the most part. I don't change blades often, but it
would seem to me that the fixed table (and therefore fixed height
rollerstands, if used) would be a more convenient design. Also, they gave
Powermatic the editor's choice, but the words in the article did not back
that up (and it was the most expensive). I kind of liked the Delta, but it
was quite a bit more expensive than the Yorkcraft and the Woodtek. Any experiences from you-all?
---------------------
-Motor's sort of in the way on the moving-head types. I swing it forward a
bit on my Invicta, but I have never felt that occasional annoyance while
changing blades outweighed the convenience of fixed table height. -Well maybe not always. Seems Wood Magazine really ticked off Franklin Glue
when they tested the TBIII and came up with poor results.
