I think I need a benchtop planer. I have a couple of old buildings that are beyond repair - I would like to salvage some of the wood (mostly oak) for projects.
Some of the projects will require squaring up and planing the boards. I have a joiner, but I would need a planer. I think 12 1/2 or 13 inch would work.
So what's good? My benchmark for comparison is Dewalt - 734, 735, 735x. I'm not asking the difference between the Dewalts - I'm asking how other units like Grizzley, Harbor Freight, Delta, etc stack up against Dewalt. Also, not interested in stand alone planers at this time. Need to restrict it to benchtop.
Danke~~
