FEIDER F2550RD 250 mm 1500 W Planer/Jointer

UPDATE (May 2018): I have been using it for a while and it is very good. I managed to keep the in-feed table stable and the fence a bit vertical. It serves the purpose very well. For the price it is a reasonable purchase. I had to buy new blades because I managed to take some pallet wood with some nails in them and they ruined the blades. After some research I realised that the blades for other brands work for this one too. Though, the blades are on the more expensive side compared to smaller size thickesser planers. Setting it up wasn't easy as they are shown on youtube. Eventually managed to develop my own method to set it up and it works very well now. ---------------------------------------------- Overall I am happy with the machine. I bought this on the xmas sale on Amazon Warehouse deals. I am a bit dissapointed with the condition of the machine since there was no detail given when I was buying (normally amazon givers quite detailed and good description of the state of the item). Based on what I read in the description I thought it was in better shape. When it was delivered I opened it and investigated all parts. The internal parts were a bit rusty and it had been used prior to my purchase (I saw chippings underneath the cutter head). I accepted all these but more information about the condition of the machine would have been great. Anyway, this thickness planer is good. I am happy with this. Setting it up was a bit hard in the beginning but if you owned a planer before then it is no brainer. The manual is completely useless (believe me it is piece of s$$t) and you can't find anything on the internet. Try the manuals of other brands they work perfectly well. This is very much the same as the other similar priced machines in the market. Possibly coming from the same factory. There is no difference between this one and Lumberjack pt1000 or Fox fox f22-564-250. The machines are the same and their blades worked with this one. I bought the blades from woodfordtooling web site. The fence is not 100% square and it is not the best but they are all like this. The infeed table is slightly moving. I have to work on this. Overall I am happy with the machine
