Ok, neither is the planer I want, but may have to settle for at the moment. I would be planing primarily hardwood, no figured wood. One is a smaller but newer Dewalt planer and the other is an older Jet, not sure how old but there is probably someone here that does know. The Jet is 15" and 3hp. I haven't seen either planer so I don't know what kind of shape they are in. Dewalt asking price is $500 with stand and the Jet is $750 asking price with the stand.
Neither of these planers will hang out in my shop because I simply don't have the room unfortunately. The planer will either stay in my carport or I'll put it in the greenhouse which I don't use. Should I go for the newer smaller planer with less power, or the larger, older Jet? I am not handy at fixing these things up if there is something wrong. I don't have any indication there is, I just wanted to ad that in case someone assumed it.
