Help with info on a planer.

I’m looking at buying a 1998 CKM p-630 planer. I can’t find much info on it via google or other search sights. My Dad and I have a small sawmill operation and would like to add a planer to our tool cache for customers and for our own projects. Will this planer hold up to heavy/rough lumber? Thanks for your help, Bob.

Here are some photos. It reminds me of the older grizzly planers. Hopefully the pictures load.

Thanks for the comments above. I’m just starting to outfit my woodworking shop. A moulder will be in the mix sometime in the near future. Our focus now is on large slabs that can be planed without completely draining the bank. I will probably hold out for an older Newman, Oliver, or powermatic.
