After looking at several hand planers the Makita looked to be better made than others. I have used this planer for working down rough sawn white oak that is to big and heavy to go through my 12″ floor planer. So far I love this hand planer and hope it gives me many years of service.

Redoing my handmade cabinets and this is a necessity. It’s doing a nice job just taking down the surface just a little and leaving me with a workable surface after.

An excellent tool. Easy to connect a vacume.

I am a hand-tool kind of guy. By that I mean powerless, good ol’ hand tools. I have had my grandfather’s hand planes for years and sharpen them by hand with waterstones. I always scoffed at power planers.Well, then came the need to take years of paint off two 46′ wood sailboat masts. I was going to use a belt sander, but those make a mess and are very invasive. (chew up the wood a lot). I decided to try a power planer set at low depth.There were really three options available- Bosch, Ryobi, and Makita. Ryobi was out at the beginning because of their usual lack of quality. The Bosch I had read great things about and it was cheaper than the Makita. The reason I went with the Makita was twofold:(1) The foot on the Makita is very thick machined aluminum, whereas the Bosch is stamped steel and did not look too precision. The Makita looked like a precision tool!(2) The adjustment knob. This was the main reason. They both had a knob that clicked at each stop. The Bosch, however, was so poorly marked that I couldn’t tell if I was on 1/64 or 1/32nd. There was no real pointer. You just kind of aimed the clicker up the center. The Makita had very clearly marked white recessed lines at 1/256th intervals. That is precision! You could very easily see and feel (solid click for each stop) where you were setting it. It also has a zero setting to park the blade, which I believe the Bosch also had.The real difference between hand planers is not how MUCH they can take off at a time, but rather how LITTLE. If you need precision then get the Makita. You can shave tiny paper-thin strips off in each pass or go up to 5/32 if you need to hog something out quickly.For the sailboat mast I was able to plane the paint off in about 15 minutes. It was insane. BZZZZZZZZIP four times down each side and it was clean except the rounded edges which I will hit with a sander. I am so glad I did not get the belt sander for this job!!!I am going to start using this for other projects although I am still sort of a purist when it comes to planing. If I were hanging a door, however, I must say I would probably use this now instead of a hand plane. For furniture and for my wood surfboard building I will stick with manual hand planes. Anyway, this was WELL worth the money I spent just in the time it saved me on this project, and I was amazed that after planing all four sides of a 46′ sailboat mast it was still cutting a clean smooth path. Sweet!

This is the best planer in it’s class. We are building an Oak log lodge style home 4400 Sq. Ft. and have had to plane all walls inside and out to be ready for stain. We have gone through at least 6 different competing brands of planers including Bosch. We have now settled in to utilizing 2 of these Makitas. After extremely heavy use they have outlasted the others without fail and are still going strong. The blade are easy to change, and when bought in bulk are inexpensive and easy to change. This means the tool goes right back to work quickly for minimum downtime. I have had to replace the brushes in one of them so far, but considering what we are doing with them I am ok with that. That is easy too.

The planer worked great on its first job. Reworking some redwood decking to make a trellis. I have hand sanded in the past. The hand planer saved me hours of work and did a much better job. It does take some hands on use to get good results, so practice on test pieces first.

Powerful and aggressive.. Dust collection port is not compatible with my ridgid shop vac 2 1/2 inch tug a long hose. Had to modify a plumbing fitting to make it work.

It cuts very smoothly right through knots and inter-locking grain.

Done a lot of research on this planer before I brought it. I just about pulled the trigger on a dewalt. Dewalt is cheaper but this one had a little more power and I also liked the guide which dewalt didnt have.I have only used it once on 3/4 plywood and I was amazed how fast it cut a 1/4 x 3 inch wide groove( I only cut 1/8 at a time because I didnt know how well it would cut) .As most of you already know tools are only made to last a few years not like older tools.

Planes well but could be easier to use. The height adjustment knob spins around and is hard to calibrate. The knob also being a handle is less than ideal. Also, there should be a bag attachment to catch the chips ejected. A vacuum hose is annoying to work with and a bag seems like it should be easy enough to add. It otherwise planes well, is relatively easy to maneuver and apply for an even plane. I would like to see some markings on the top case for visualizing where the blade is. This would help for maneuvering. It’s easy enough to change the blades and access the motor and brushes, which is convenient.

great tool works very well.

I bought this planer to replace another which had a severe defect, and was somewhat disappointed to find this one had issues as well. It would cut a swath on the left side only on a flat board when set to zero. After several attempts at adjusting the knives, I determined that the edge of one carbide knife would repeatedly stick out about .010″ too far when the hold down bolts were tightened. I believe this is caused by a poorly manufactured clamp, as it was the same with different blades. I resolved it by installing single edge one-piece carbide blades (more money). It now cuts like a dream.

I am very happy with this planer, it has enough power to plane oak planks that I milled last year; it gets the job done. My only complaint so far is that it does not zero out, the blade does not retract all the way, so I am always cutting. This 7.5 amp model was not available in the store. When delivered the box looked like it was through a war and the planer and parts were rattling around inside the box, and there was no manual (its available on the internet). It came with a guide, but I still haven’t figured out what it is supposed to do. I have to wonder if the planer was knocked out of alignment when shipped, the box had definitely been opened. there’s no directions on how to calibrate the depth gauge. Just a poor presentation, shame on someone.

I researched these and found very good reviews on this model. I used this for the first time on some cabinet doors and was very impressed with it. Very solid and well made tool.

I wish I would have spent more to get a real planer. The fence is not solid and is a joke. One has to be careful when holding the front knob bucause it is also the depth adjustment. A grip should be just that.
