Can I run molding knives in my G7213 Planer?

What type of feed rollers does it have?

What size breaker do I need to operate this planer?

A 30 Amp circuit breaker is required.

Where can I get a reducer to go from the 5" dust port on the machine to my 4" hose?

We recommend running a 5" hose from the planer to your dust collector. If you need to reduce to a 4" hose, you can obtain a 5" to 4" stovepipe reducer from most hardware stores and then connect a 4" hose to the dust collector.

What are the CFM requirements for a dust collector?

This depends on factors like distance to the collector, moisture content of the wood, and depth of cut. For distances of 10 feet or less, a dust collector with as little as 450 CFM may work. When sizing a collector, bigger is generally better.
