Shop Fox W1877 13" Portable Planer with Spiral-Style Cutterhead $529
$529.00
$838.98
Both Keepa and CCC showing this as the lowest price ever for this plainer. It has a Spiral-Style Cutterhead which will give you a much better cut than the typical blade style cutting heads you find in most planer's. The $1,095 price is the retail price to purchase this on the Grizzly/Fox Shop website.
Here's what one reviewer said about this plainer:
You'll notice it's one of the most well-built planers out there, with every feature needed to turn rough boards into smooth ones ready for fine woodworking projects.
For one thing, it comes with a very powerful 2 HP 15 Amps motor, which allows it to chew through any type of wood you throw at it. That means you can also plane at its maximum cut depth of 1/8th of an inch without bugging the machine down.
The Shop Fox W1877 comes equipped with a spiral-style cutterhead with 26 indexable carbide inserts, something you'll also not find in most portable planers. This enables you to plane boards with a better surface finish, resulting in a much quieter machine even when under load.
It has a maximum width capacity of 13 inches, accepts a maximum board thickness of 6 inches, and has a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch. The cutterhead spins at a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM, with a feed rate of 26 feet per minute.
For dust collection, the W1877 features a large 4-inch dust port to connect it to your workshop dust collection system. It also includes a 2-inch and 1/2-inch adapter for connecting it to suitable shop vacs.
All in all, I can say the Shop Fox W1877 is one of the best options to consider when shopping for a portable thickness planer unit, especially if the price is not a deciding factor. Quality-wise, it's well built with very good in-feed and out-feed tables for material support.
Depth adjustment is also effortless with a hand wheel right at the side of the unit and a marked thickness scale to read settings.
What we like about it:
* Well-built to last. Heavy and sturdy.
* It comes equipped with a high quality spiral cutterhead.Comes with a powerful 2 HP motor. So, power is not an issue.
* It has larger width capacity compared with the competition.
* This amazing 13 in. portable planer features a unique repeat cut selector. This allows you to quickly set the cutterhead to 6 per-set heights from 1/8 in. to 1-3/4 in. As well as convenient thickness scale located on the top of the machine for checking your planning progress.
Where it can be improved:
* It's quite expensive. (At this price, this really isn't an issue)

The spiral cutter head and the brand. They're known for milling.
Probably not better than the more expensive dewalt but better than the cheaper dewalt lunch box shaped one. Most of these seem to be made in the same Taiwanese factory and produce good results.

Also note, the cutter inserts only have 2 cutting edges and not 4. You can only rotate these once before having to replace the cutter insert. The unit itself does not come with extras.
Edit - is the deal dead already?

But the left, right, and upper frames look different, the adjustment crank is different, as is the in/outfeed tables. And of course as you said, the cutterheads are completely different designs. So, yes there are a few individual components that look identical, but the appearance and the cutterhead design are wildly different.
