Product Description

We've taken one of the most popular planers ever and built it into an Extreme Machine. Just look at the features on this monster. Solid cast iron extension tables make this smooth surface ground planer table just short of 5' long. You can't get better support from a planer than that. The large hand wheel makes table movement silky smooth and the super rigid pedestal holds the power controls at a convenient height. The extra heavy-duty welded steel base also makes for a very stable machine.

Grizzly G1033X 5 HP Spiral Cutter Head Planer, 20-Inch Review

Purchased the G1033X in March of 08 and in February of 09 had to replace the bearings for the cutterhead. Talked to Grizzly and because under warranty, they sent new ones. It was definitely not an easy replacement. January 10 had to replace bearings again. Before purchasing this planer, beware of the cost of the replacement carbide inserts. They are $62.95 per 10 pack. I need to replace all, as I have used all 4 sides, and it will cost me roughly $650 to do so! Grizzly offers no volume discount on carbide inserts. Whether you buy 10 or 1000, the cost is still $6.30 each. It is almost cheaper to replace the cutterhead with a Byrd (certainly cheaper in the long-run). When I talked to Grizzly, they said "That's why not many people purchase this planer...". If I had to do it over again, I would have purchased a standard 4 knife planer and upgraded to the Byrd spiral cutterhead. It would have been MUCH cheaper.
