I purchased this excellent machine at the beginning of December 2013 so it is is still in warranty (may be 3 years). I love the machine and it works really well, it is quiet and gives a great finish. However, my workshop space is limited so I have saved up my pennies and am purchasing that ultimate space-saver, a combo machine. That means that my tried and true machines, and even a few quite new machines like this one have to go.
The new price for this machine is $2,199 http://ift.tt/1pA3uDB
Mine has had only light use and has not even had the cutters rotated yet. It is like new in appearance and operation.
Carba-Tec states" An economy version of a European style planer/thicknesser. A real space saver in the workshop. Features flip-up tables for conversion to thicknesser. Tables have noise-dampening slots. Serrated steel infeed roller is standard. Comes with a true spiral cutter head.
This machine has 74 four-sided cutter knives of fine grain tungsten carbide held in place by a Torx style screw. Knives of this type last three to five times longer than good quality HSS knives. Multiply this by four cutting edges and you achieve 12 to 20 times the normal blade life of a HSS blade set.
his cutter head also reduces the size of shavings when cutting, increasing the effectiveness of your dust collection setup. The size of the knife and the spiral cutting action also reduce the amount of horsepower needed to drive the machine, translating into more effective power transmission on each cut revolution."
