True, I own two planers. My 15" has a spiral head with carbide blades. Each blade is 1/2" x 1/2" and has four edges - when one gets dull or chipped you just turn it 90 degrees (or if you have turned it to all four edges install a new one). I have had it for almost two years and have not yet had to turn one of them. The planed boards are very nice and 150 grit paper is more than enough to sand it with. Of course it all depends on what I am working on, right now it is restaurant work - no sanding required

The money goes to the church and is tax deductible also. Anyone interested pm me and I will set up a time to get the wood. You pick what you want from the stacks. Have fun Dave s
