I'm zeroing in on a choice for a 15" planer and have narrowed it down to the Jet 708529 or the new Grizzly G1021Z. They are both roughly in my price range. I've found a little information in the archives on both models but not much (especially the Grizzly machine). Does anyone have any experience with this particular model?
I've seen the recent Popular Woodworking review, but its on an older model. I have a couple other Grizzly tools in the shop (8" jointer, dust collector and 14" bandsaw) and have been pretty happy with them all, but I'm always a little leary about making a leap (especially a $1200-1300 one) without more real world feedback.
