I see there are 2 different types of hitachi planers one with sealed bearings. Is that a big deal? because the cheaper one runs about 100 bucks and I’ve seen the “p20sd” model with sealed bearings for about 200. Trying to find out if it 's worth it. Thanks Nick
I’ve always been told by the guys at clark, if you are into production shaping (all day everyday) then you want the sealed bearings. If you are like me and do a few a month then you don’t need to spend the extra cash. Just an occassional shot of air from the compressor to knock off some dust has done me just fine. good luck
