"Check out Oneida on the Cyclones, the one I have is beyond awesome. I did a lot of homework before making that purchase with Static Pressure etc., looked at Laguna, Clearvue etc. Just my 2 cents."

"The PowerMatic & Jet planers in those sizes are a bit out of my price range. I went with the DeWalt 735, then installed the Byrd Shellix head. The Shellix head has probably already paid for itself and was not that difficult to…"
