I will order A new 20" planer in the next few days.
I am leaning toward the Shop Fox because of cutter head speed, 5500 rpm,
feed speed 18/23 fpm and it has A rubber out feed roller which is very important to me. I will be installing a byrd head and would like to hear from anyone with this setup, or any
information on this planer.

Bed rollers that are adjustable with "no tools" (usually a knob to loosen, lever to move) (Bridgewood).
Or bed roller lock adjust system that is real quick to change.

Stoppable feed during the cut is nice also (pwrmatic)

Also IRS auctioneers gets you allot for your $.
