Something else occurs to me about planing thin stock. My old Parks is cast iron, with a pretty solid bed. The newer lighter weight planers often have formed sheet steel beds. Any flex and bounce in the steel bed would (seems to me) adversely affect the results. I don't know construction details for your planer, but I thought it might be pertinent. Ron N
