Whats the difference between this planer and the Steel City Tool Works 40200H

I believe that the only difference is in motor speed. The 400300h that I own supposedly has a higher speed ratio that allows for fewer incidents of tear out when planing hardwoods. I don't know if this is accurate or not. I'm very happy with the planer but have only run about a 1000 feet of doug fir through it. It's worked great. Again, not sure about the accuracy of information. Great planer though.

I have not had a problem with chipping with the 40200H and I have run serveral thousand feet of various soft and hardwoods, still on the oiginal blade side 1 and still works with very little sanding needed after I run them through. I think the slower speed reduces chipping.

Although the motor and cutters are the same, there is considerable difference in the machines. The 40200 is heavier and stronger. It comes with stainless steel in and out feed trays. It has a wheel on the side for adjustment rather than a crank on top. It has a snipe lock which works well. I am very pleased with mine and am happy I decided to go with the more expensive model.

My Amish neighbor purchased this planer through me and is very satisfied with it. It has a cast iron table and I assume rollers on the top, before and after the cutter head. He has rotated the cutters one time in the 2.5 years he has used it. It is a very good machine. By the way, he has it hooked to a line shaft after removing the electric motor.

This has multiple cutter heads that are about 1/2" square so it does multiple cuts at a time whereas a straight blade chops the wood. Quieter than a straight blade, but the one I had produced horrible snipe on the front & rear of the board no matter how I adjusted the tables & I sent it back immediately. Found a used Grizzly 20" professional 4 straight blade with a 5hp motor on from & 2 hp motor on rear, no snipe whatsoever.If I were to choose between the Steel city & DeWalt....I would choose the DeWalt, no snipe & seemed to be built better.

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

Yes it is the same as the standard 735. As to the ware on the blades - I've planed over 300bf in the 6 years that I've had this unit. I missed a label staple on the end of a board and now have a 1/32nd hairline strip that shows and I easily clean up with a scraper. I also purchased an extra set of HSS (high speed steel) knives and put the money out ($158 for the set) for carbide edged which I only use on the last phase of the construction. I've got an older 13" planer that I use strictly for rough plane jobs and paint and varnish removal when I recycle older woodwork.

They are both excellent tool. The only reason i went with Dewalt cause sometimes if u just time it right they do have some promotions such us free dewalt tools Milwaukee doesnt do that often.

A jointer is dead on accurate versus "pretty accurate". This is an adequate planer and with work piece clamped to enable right angle passes, could make adequate flat passes over both pieces. The planer is great at planning up to its width.

Cast iron table is far superior. The rollers can cause snipe. If I remember correctly the 5 HP with helical cutterhead (which I have) has cast iron table and the 3 HP with knives has the rollers. It is a great planer!

TJH, I do not know the difference between the two, but I do love what I purchased. It works well, is reliable and tough. One of the best tools I have purchased. Dave

Keith, the difference between the 4210 and 4212 is the number of templates that are included. Otherwise they are basically the same jig.I have the 4212 and love it. It is easy to use and the instruction manual is very comprehensive.

The cutters that come with the unit are high speed steel (HSS). They work well but if you have an oops, then you need to turn the nicked one 90 degrees. I have researched and found that RCK-70 carbide cutters are supposed to fit the planer although I have not needed them as of yet.I suggest doing research on the cutters on your own to ensure that they will work.

I bought this for my Sears model 152.221140 table saw - it did not fit. I had to return it. The 152 prefix in my saw's model number means the saw was made by Steel City. You should measure the insert in your saw before purchasing another. After measuring mine I wound up purchasing a Leecraft insert that said it was for Delta saws. It was a Leecraft DL-1U. That makes sense since Steel City saws are mostly based on Delta designs. I just pulled up your saw's manual online. It looks like mine and the part numbers start with OR. That means yours was built by Steel City too. Once you measure your saw's plate you probably will get the Delta model too.

Per the Bosch site, the difference is the blades provided, the tool itself is identical. One provides more accessories. Amazon may have not posted the correct information, go to the Bosch site, you can do a compare tools sets, see: http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/. Review the Bosch list carefully, many items are listed, but not in the same order

Actually the one listed has a smiths matt, that shows the detailed breakdown of an AR, set of punches, and some sort of aerosol of cleaner or maybe lube.As to the difference between the actual tool I couldn't tell a difference

Russell, I haven't counted them myself, but Steel City's literature says there are 26 cutters on the head. Please be aware that it is not a true helical head in that the cutters are not arranged in a helical pattern to get the shearing cut of the more expensive helical head planers and jointers. Also, the cutters are two-sided, not four-sided as are some of the more expensive helical head cutters. Nonetheless, the finish is superior to any planer I have ever used in 50 years of woodworking - and I have used several very expensive planers. I have had my Steel City planer about two years now and I am extremely happy with it. I sold a nearly new Dewalt planer on Craigslist to buy the Steel City. The Steel City feeds much more smoothly than the Dewalt and the results are nearly flawless. I have used it on curly maple and on soft sappy woods with excellent results. I have not yet turned any of the cutter heads, by the way. I hope this information is helpful.
