Hi guys,
I am in the market for a thickness planer. Home use only, but I would only like to buy it once.
I can get the following models around here (listed in increasing cost):
Ryobi AP-13
Jet JWP-12
DeWalt DW733
Makita 2012NB
I had a look at the Ryobi and read the comments on the forum. My problem with it, is the cost around here - 500USD. To me, that is too expensive for a Ryobi. The model I looked at, at my local big box store wasn't built very well. The Jet had pretty good build quality - and it is less than 50USD more expensive the the Ryobi. I've found a lot of opinions on the 733 (and a lot of recommendations for the 735 which is not available in South Africa as far as I could tell). The Makita also does not seem that popular, but I included it in the list since my other Makita tools are built very well and I doubt that would ever have to replace them given my usage pattern.
Thoughts/comments?
