A little about the planer, why I chose it, and some test cuts I made with it. I'm very happy with this planer, it's a big improvement from the typical benchtop planers I've had.
I like the idea of using that cart to set the planer base at the same height as your table saw, or any table for that matter, to use as infeed/outfeed. Nice work sir.
@cb4920 I'll say no to that. Who waste their time locking the column for every pass. No shop I have ever been in does that. Last pass or 2 is good enough, especially if you have a lot of lumber to process.
Yeah I could, but I've been flipping the boards to eliminate some defects as I go. Either way would work. Besides I wanted to give the planer a good run in to get used to it and see how she worked. Very happy with it so far.

You should be using your column locks all the time, not just the final pass.
