I relay like the machine.
I did use it a bit and it works very well and I tried it on the hardest wood I had. It did a wonderful job. Thank you

CX15
The planner is nice and strong the only thing bothers me is cheap Chinese parts. After 3 weeks of using this machine rollers feeding chain broke.

Great Planer
This is a great planer. I used to own a Dewalt DW735. It couldn't handle taking more than a few thousands of an inch off of a 13" wide piece of hardwood without bogging and refusing to feed. The DX15 feeds and planes a 15" piece of hardwood effortlessly. The same factory turns out many brand names: Grizzly, Shop Fox, General, King, Jet, Craftex ... but only Busy Bee (Craftex) provides a 3 year warranty! I have been extremely happy with the service I've received from Busy Bee. This is my third "significant" purchase from Busy Bee.

So far I am very satisfied
It took a lot for me to sell my DeWalt 735 planer, but I really needed to upgrade to a stand alone unit. Decided on the CX15 after comparing the General 15", King 15" and the GRizzly. The only unit that came close in price was the Grizzly and the units look the same. By the time I added the shipping and duties it was pretty much the same price. Busy bee is not that far so warranty and any other issues (which I hope i dont have to worry about)are much easier than dealijng with across the border. So far Ive put about 60 or so hours on this unit and my brother has put about 20. It runs very smooth and there havent really been any issues other than the locking mechanism on the base getting jammed once, but it was an easy fix. I would recommend this, so would my brother.
