7" Planer Comparison -Triton TPL180 vs. Makita 1086B

My 7" planer broke and I was faced with the choice of buying a new one or upgrading to a different model. I ended up finding a used Makita 1086B 7" planer for the same price as a new Triton TPL180 7" planer. I tested both and ran a comparison on quality, price, as well as a live speed comparison to see how each of them measured up.
