Wood Planer- the difference's

Sticker machine? Now you are talking, going nuclear here Mr. Zeke.

My stationary planer will do 1/8" easy depending on the width and the type of material. With Rock Maple or any harder tropical hard wood, it will protest a little. My lil' bench top job will get really pissed even with a 1/32 cut if blades are dull.

This is the 735 DEWALT planer I mentioned in the above post and some lumber I ran through it the other weekend.
