I thought I had it down. Everything I did a few days ago I gotta learn me all over again. But thanks BB. Getting ready to shovel snow/ chip ice again as well.

I have the same planer, just got is Sept.
If you run it full tilt for 3 hrs it gets warm!!!
Seems like a good unit!!!
Need to make a sawdust catcher for it.

I have one just like that one and I am very happy with it. I have the dust port on it and when I'm through planning I don't have any dust, or chips on the floor. I would never think of replacing it unless something serious happen to it. Jim

I had one I found on a shelf in an old hardware store. Has a 5" round for hose hookup. You will fill a 55 gl drum pretty fast. I sold it for $90. Any more I just move to the overhead door and let it fly.

I've had my RC-33 planer for many many years and i can tell you, the old Brazilion made models are much better than the later chinese models.

I tried sharpening them myself but never come close to getting the edge that you should have. It is best for me to send them out and get the professional job on them,cuts a lot better and last a lot longer.

Naw but man that sho would be nice. Friend of mine in Indiana has a 22". Says it takes about 4 mins to come to a complete stop. Here it is in front of my place taking a pit stop from Maine to Indiana

This is one of mine.

I don't have any pictures of it derusted and tidied up.
I've replaced the ancient cutter guard with an all ally spring loaded unit
It's only 16" but it's solid as and it weighs ~1300 lbs.
