I’m seriously thinking of buying the 15″ sears Craftsman molder/planner but thought I’d ask a little feedback about it here. If any of you have it and find it gives great results i’d like to hear what you have to say. Another thing is that I want the machine to make those old-fshioned looking casings out of MDF. I was told the knives are very expensive. What about the knives and their ease of installation? Are custom carbide knives easy to get done as I live in eastern Canada and don’t know where in the U.S. to get such knives? A source for custom knives would be agreat help to me.
I first was gonna’ get the Jet molder and got a quote for a set of knives to do a 3″ profile. I was shocked to find a set of 3 knives @3″ each would cost me over $700 canadian?
Thanks kindly

Greetings Paul,
There might be some response to you questions here since by posting it will bring it to the forefront again.
If no luck then you might want to try posting it over in the 'Knots' forum in the toolbar at the top of this page.
That's the FineWoodworking magazine's board, full of tool buffs there also.
cheers.
