Father's day 2008 ss mount $1199.99 Pro planer $1499.99.

That was the last printed catalog that I know of.

So for 525$ for a free standing Pro Planer its a deal???!!!!! I guess it is because the SS mounted one is about $1400 now

I consider it a no brainer! I agree with Ed. There have been better 'deals', but they be rare to see one at all.

I picked up a new pro planer for 400 bucks earlier this year... Lets just say I didn't wait to visit and pick it up. For $525, I would do the same, get it while its hot! Provided its not falling apart (even then ... what is falling apart.. lol)

I pretty much new it was a no brainer if in fact it was a PP, seen other discussions here on that!!! Just needed that push from the experts
JPG, stay safe this weekend!!!!

Hopefully soon, I will find time etc. to add to my ss mount manual feed planer a feed motor and control and a home made stand with 1 3/4 hp motor. Got the parts, just need to decide upon the stand. In the mean time, ss power and hand crank feed. One can really feed slow with the hand crank.

I picked freestanding SS Pro Planer up this fall for $450 - and I thought it was a great deal - turns out I was right! It works great!
