I just purchased one a few weeks ago, I have only ran a few boards through it but have been impressed so far.
It is much quieter than I thought. Beware it comes with rigging bars and is extremely heavy, you will need good neighbors to get it in it's proper spot.
I purchased mine from Amazon.com and was very happy with the delivery to the garage.
Cheers, Chris.
the one i'm looking at is supposed to have rollers under it. did yours?
rollers to move the planer or the wood?
Mine had roller under the planer to move it around. They don't rotate though. The infeed and outfeed are solid cast. Heavy but nice.
Good luck, Chris.
i meant rollers for moving the entire planer around the shop
