Got my Grizzly 2012 catalog in the mail today.

I used to own the older version of their 13" planer/moulder, has gone up about $400 since I bought mine and had a couple of design changes, like the placement of the moulder and added guides for moulding.
I mentioned selling it a while back. Only time I've ever had a kickback was using the moulding feature of it. I set it to the slower speed, installed the casing blades I had purchased, and followed the manual's instructions for mouldings. After about 30 seconds I heard some loud bangs, a ping or two and my board shot out the back and into a workbench across the room. Shut it down quickly. After some inspection. I found the blades had all shattered, which ruined the planing blades as you left them in and stacked the moulding blades on top of them. I also found a piece of one of the blades embedded in a piece of sheet metal that was leaning against the bench. All I could figure was it was taking too big of a bite, but didn't see a way to lower the feed rollers to feed a lighter cut. I had a luchbox planer and was wanting to buy a mig welder, so sold it and the dust collector to get the mig, which I don't regret.
Anyway, anyone else got their catalog yet?
