Here's one straight out of Left-Field!

I've got the makita 155mm plane, great piece of gear, heavy so it doesn't move about too much. did suffer from tear out on an iron bark post...... need to look in to that more....It cost me $250 second hand so the cost of the GMC looks good ( and parts shouldn't be a problem like the old Makitas)

Took some photos last night (just of the tool, not of it in use (yet)), will post them when I have a chance.
