I’m seriously thinking of buying the 15″ sears Craftsman molder/planner but thought I’d ask a little feedback about it here. If any of you have it and find it gives great results i’d like to hear what you have to say. Another thing is that I want the machine to make those old-fshioned looking casings out of MDF. I was told the knives are very expensive. What about the knives and their ease of installation? Are custom carbide knives easy to get done as I live in eastern Canada and don’t know where in the U.S. to get such knives? A source for custom knives would be agreat help to me.

I first was gonna’ get the Jet molder and got a quote for a set of knives to do a 3″ profile. I was shocked to find a set of 3 knives @3″ each would cost me over $700 canadian?

Thanks kindly
