I love my new Octane Planner, its easy to use and surprisingly you can use it on hardwoods like Oak and Walnut with no issues. It has the usual great qualities as other Rigid tools, its comfortable to use, the ease of making adjustments and with having the dust collector go on either side is a new added bonus that I wish some of my other tools had. I had to plan down 10 old antique doors to make them fit into a new home and with using the 9 amp battery i never had to change the battery and it still had 50% of it charge. I would recommend this tool to anyone who has the use for it, another Rigid winner.

This works great. I have used it several times and I am impressed with the power. I had a sticky door in my shop, made two passes over the sticky area. Now it closes perfectly.

Very good for quick planning of smaller projects, I was able to do a whole countertop 30”x 72” with ease it just took two batteries, which was expected

I’ve used it a few times now. It’s well balanced in the hand with a 9ah battery and works well, as expected.

I’ve used this many times since I purchased it. It has great power for a cordless tool. I’ve milled oak, ash, maple and walnut without any issues. the left or right side dust collection option is a great feature.
Enoch Raynor (verified owner) –
Perfect tool to plane precise spots or the entire board. Bigger dust port needed for extracting the large pieces of wood being produced.
Neha Nitzsche (verified owner) –
Bummed that the new one handed recip came with a promo coupon for a free 3ah Octane battery when purchased in store but no promo coupon for the planer?! All in all the Ridgid platform has some great tools that will hold it’s own against the competition! Not to mention with the best warranty that is offered!

Very convenient to use, just slide in the battery and it’s ready go.
Blaze Lockman (verified owner) –
Works great, you have to play with the depth gauge to get it dead on, but works great.
Sigmund Gulgowski (verified owner) –
Great product. Works as well as a corded, but you have the freedom to move around without being plugged in.
