You can run old wood through the Porter Cable. Blades are about 29 bucks a pop, and are reversible. I did about three thousand square feet of antique fir flooring through one a few years ago.
You can tell when you need to change blades as the motor will bog down. You can get extra life out of the blades, but you risk killing the machine.
There are better machines out there, but this one does the job, and will do the work.
Very handy once you have one.
