Harbor Freight 3hp planer #39860

Hello everyone,
Has anyone used/seen the 13″ planer from Harbor Freight item # 39860? We are looking for a good medium use planer for a countertop and sometimes cabinet shop. Jet, Powermatic, and Shop Fox are being considered, but since we are mainly a countertop shop we are looking for another option.
Thanks,
Rob

Since you are a business and it's deductible I would spend a few bucks more and go for a company that will provide service. Old saying is stepping over the dollars to pick up the pennies.
Thanks for the advise. We bought a Sox Fox 15" 3hp at Utterguys aorund the corner. The unit was a little over $700, but it was also 2 1/2 x's the weight at 430 lbs. and came with carb. knives. Better to buy local.
