Have lots of 5/4 cherry, ash, maple wide boards I want to make into flooring (1" planned w/TG).

Any suggestions on a planer/molder? 

I was thinking a good used Belsaw w/rip attachment.

This will be for my house, not commercial/long term

Either the Baker M412 or one of the Logosol models would work well for you.

Tom's 3638D Baker band mill
and a mix of log handling heavy equipment.

A Woodmaster is a good planer/moulder that will do what you need. It also can be used to rip you lumber into strips
as you mould your profile. Look at the TimberKing add at the left for there phone. I have the 18" unit and it has been
a good one for 5or 6 years.  ps if you can spend a little more git the spiral head cutter for the planer.

I made a lot for the upstairs of my house with a shaper with the flooring cutter set from grizzly tools.  It sure took a long time but I had the shaper and the cutters were not that much.  It's been a few years and very few cracks or problems.  If you do go that way let me know and I'll run you thru what I know.
