I bought my Lucas 7-23 in early 2020, including slabbing attachment, planing head and sanding head.  Just used the planing and sanding heads for the first time just before Christmas.  Kick ass!  Can't wait to dress more slabs.  We ran a couple redwood slabs, a couple white oak slabs, and a black walnut slab through the process.  Thanks Team Lucas!

I've had my planing head for a few months now but haven't had a need to use it yet.  Glad to hear that it works well.  What depth of cut and width of pass did you use?  Type of wood?  Thanks
