demonx Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nevre heard of the brand, however: Dust extraction. You'll definitely need it. Also don't try putting figured timber through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyp Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 for what purpose do i need dustextraction? simply for convenience (keeping the area clean) or as a matter of necessity? Also I have no intention for planing figured woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 For starters, the smaller units clog up if the waste is not extracted. It'll build up and jam up the blade, wreck your timber etc etc Then there's the while "don't breath that **** in" side of things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashJim Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Jeremyp, did you get the planer? Post a pic if you did. Also, you wouldn't happen to be in Texas, would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
