Title: Great intitially, Not designed for longevity.
Review: I purchased this planer a couple years ago to plane rough cut pine. It worked well out of the box and continued to do so for the first year. After about 1,000bf of mainly pine the drive rollers started having trouble pulling material throught the cutterhead. I should have taken notice at this point and determined the problem, I may have been able to prevent the problems I now have. The bushings that support the rollers are very cheap and not designed for much use as there is no way to keep them adequately lubricated. As a result the bushings siezed on the shafts destroying the shafts and causing the chain drive and sprockets to break. This is going to be a fairly expensive repair so I am simply going to do minimal repairs to get by until I can purchase a better designed planer.
