I'm going to swing by this Sat. to Home Depot and see if they have a 734 . It's still a month to two before I will need one, but wanna' see the difference of the box store models.

thanks for all the input guys, I appreciate that.

I found a used Grizzly 13" planer/molder with the induction motor 1-1/2 HP, has nice power for its size, hvy blades. $500,  new $1000     Also have a Dewalt 635. Has best features for benchtop, two speed great for hardwoods, figured woods, and has chip blower, very nice. Blades are thin disposable, work, but can upgrade to better carbide or spiral, order these online, get 2-3 days later delivered to door. Grizzly very good service for parts, advise. Will need dust collector for Grizzly, and best to run one the Dewalt for the life, but Dewalt has the blower built in when collector not handy.
