Now you have again raised my curiosity.... I am starting to like you more each post.

Can you tell me more about this?

I don't want to wear out my welcome with so many questions, but I have a hunger for knowledge from the experts here.

I wish I got the show in my area. I could learn so much.

Thanks so much for the patience you and others have had with me thus far.

You know anything about the hand power planer from DW? It looks really nice.

Bob;

I bought a small power planer (Makita) to compensate for not having a jointer at the time.

I find that I seldom use the power planer (I do now have a jointer) and I far prefer hand planes (get a few good ones!). So if you haven't already stocked up on hand planes, give that consideration before the power planer. I have a couple of Veritas (Lee Valley) planes that are highly rated and far prefer them to the power plane that I bought first.
