I forgot to mention the most important thing about my planer is that I also purchased the polypropylene bed cover (very slippery), that would make a world of difference to me if I didn't have it. As it will for you too, once you order it. If you need the slots that are cut in it for bolting moulding guides, order it from Woodmaster. If you don't make moulding, get the solid sheets, I think I would just order it straight from a company like McMaster-Carr, (supplies products used to maintain manufacturing plants and large commercial facilities worldwide.)
