Bienvenidos, JeseaRast.....
Like you, I couldn't afford a high dollar planer. Which might be lost on me anyway because my skills are in the "developing" category.
I bought a reconditioned Bosch 1594K-RT that I'm really happy with. What I like the most is that the exhaust flips easily from one side to the other, so you never have to eat foam while planing, a huge improvement over this tool's predecessor.
I found a link to where I got the tool:
Sorry, it looks like it's a little higher than your price range.
More experienced folks here might be able to let you know if there's a downside to this planer, but so far I'm pretty happy.
thank you for the link and information!
bosch is a quality brand to trust,and as you mentioned the exhaust feature,sounds great.
20$ more for a quality planer i think i could defiantly do.
thanks again.
Lots of info on this planer or one similar and modifications are available on here.
Hope this helps.
