Thanks.
One more question:
It appears from the picture that there is some surface rust on the infeed/outfeed tables. Will that clean up and what should I use to clean it?
Thx

Depends upon the 'depth' of the 'surface rust'.

If truly 'surface' rust it will practically wipe off.

If deeper, I would try evaporust(realize it does evaporate, so a saturated rag may be in order).

If deeper yet navel jelly(essentially acid).

Lastly fine steel wool* and multiple application of JPW.

*mirror finish not necessary!

I am assuming disassembly to place in an electrolysis bath is not 'convenient'.

Ha! Correct no electrolysis bath.
I will try the naval jelly!
Thanks

One other difference is that the Pro Planer feed rate is 7-20 fpm and the Mark V mount is 5-12 fpm.

And the manual feed SS mount version has 0 to 'fast as you can crank' feed rate. Even reverse! :eek:
