Does any one have any experience using a Belsaw model 910(planer, molder and saw). One of my co-workers is looking to sell one and I am looking to see if anyone has used one or currently has one. Any information would be appreciated.

The feed rollers are really the only item that wears. They have replacements for about 120$. It will work better if it has a 5 hp. It's a lot like a woodmaster. I love mine. I would write more but I have to get going.

I have a woodmaster 910, which is essentially the same machine. Mine was my fathers and I got it when he passed away 25 years ago. It is a really solid piece of equipment. It doesn't have any fancy blade alignment so it is kind of a pain to get those set properly, but other than that it works very well. I only use it as a planer so cannot comment on the molder and saw.
Does the one you are looking at have chain drive or pulley drive? Mine is pulley, but I have seen a chain drive, especially on a Belsaw brand so was just wondering.

not sure about chain or pulley, but I would find out. I think I would also just use as a planer, but am wondering if it is worth buyting this or just a dedicated planer.
