planers

[Lhadeh at wmconnect.com]

I have an old Ryobi that I bought from a woodworking neighbor a couple of 
years ago.  I remember giving him about $75 for the planer with 3 extra blade 
sets recently professionally sharpened.  He upgraded to a DeWalt because it 
causes less snipe at the ends of the planed boards.

Snipe is a problem with most planers.  There are several ways to make it less 
of a problem, but none that I know of that will completely eliminate it.  I 
either waste the 3 inches at each end of the board that has the snipe, or I can 
almost eliminate it by feeding short sacrificial boards in ahead and behind 
the good board.

Several of the woodworking magazines have had extensive reviews in the last 
year or so.  One likes Makita, another DeWalt, another Delta, another Ridgid, 
etc.  I wouldn't think you'd go wrong with any of those.
