Title: Disappointed
Product review: This is my first Grizzly power tool, which I purchased based on the rave reviews. Out of the box, I tried to plane twelve-inch maple wide for shelving. The first few passes using small incremental cuts resulted in the wood jamming, getting marred with paint and grease, and a few tear-outs. Not a good start.The jamming was caused by poor manufacturing. In the outfeed of the unit, there are two metal studs that seem to hold the board down as it exits. On my planer, one of these studs was 1/16" longer than the other, causing the jams and cutting into the wood. Had to file the stud down just to get the wood to pass through. I still have problems with the wood getting stained with green paint and gouges.Not sure what to think of Grizzly power tools. I should have payed more for a better unit, probably not a Grizzly.
