Messed up my grizzly planer when I was changing bearings. I was furious at myself for being a dumbass. So I left the shop & went the house. When the wife asked what I was so pisssed about, & I told her, her first response was, "you've been talking about upgrading planers, so nows the time. " My first phone call, was to Darcy to see if he had a planer I could buy. Nadda, but he located this one for me up near Chicago. Within an hour of being a dumbasss, I made a deal on a this 4300# behemoth & was in the truck headed north at 6 am the next day.
Got it wired up today & it just sets there & hums. Tomorrow, I'll work on reworking dust collection.
This morning, I done research on damaged parts & bearings for my 20" grizzly. A whopping $22 will have the other bearing & damaged gear replaced. It'll be for sale, along with a few other tools we outgrew.
