Any opinions on the Craftex 12.5" Planer? I'm a little tired of the HD prices/selection on finished lumber, so I've been considering a Planer for a while. But at $600 I'd be a while recovering my cost for the number of projects I do. But Busy Bee currently has there 12.5" Planer on for $265 CDN. Holy Crap Batman! Is it worth the $'s or should I save my pennies for a Dewalt 734, currently $475 CDN. The opinions I've read on the Craftex 15" Planer seem good, but I haven't read much on the 12.5" model. Canadian Tire has the same thing for $369 including a stand BTW.
