I have two boards of walnut 7' long by 20" wide that i need to remove about 1/16-3/32 from. They are planed flat, but still have some minor mill marks that I need to work down to.
I have a performax 16-32, but think this may be too big of a job for that sander. Are there any good places other than Houston Hardwoods or Clark's Hardwoods that rent time on a wide planer/belt sander? Clarks and Houston Hardwoods charge $30-$60 setup plus ~$1-$2 per minute for use of the tool, which will run me about 100$ overall I suspect, which to me seems pretty steep (Maybe I am just being really frugal?)
Any other yards/mills around that have these machines? I have heard to check with door companies who make wood doors and they typically have larger capacity machines.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
