The toll is very smooth and efficient

Very good for the money. Absolutely no complaints. If did woodworking for a living may want to get a higher caliber planer. This works for the DIYr.

So, this thing feels awesome and sturdy, and it tears through wood like a wailing banshee. . . When it wants to, but I’m not sure if it’s a technique issue or what. I have a full suite of vintage hand planes passed down to me by my mentor. I love them, and have used them on just about every job I’ve done. I don’t have a proper shop planer and I’ve only recently gotten a pre ww2 belt driven jointer that is beautiful and soooo sweet. I like this tool though, but I fight with it a lot, but it’s been awesome clearing chunks of waste when straightening out and smothing boards, but I still gotta hit everything with my manual planes after.

Easy to use and did a great job on the maple boards I was working on.

Give it a 5 star because it’s a very quality piece of tool and does what it’s supposed to. However, we found it a little heavy and too strong for what we planned to use it for. Also, keep in mind that you are to do any planing job going with the veins of the wood. If you try to run across, it won’t come out right.

Works great out of the box. I really like the ability to finitely adjust the depth. Easy to work with.

It is a very heavy tool for me.

I needed a planer to shave some crosscut log slabs for tables. I chose this one because of the 4 3/8 width, good reviews and reasonable price. I couldn’t be more pleased with the purchase, If you need a hand power planer and are on a budget (or not), this is it.

Does a superior job to a hand planer. Would have been nice to include a bag to catch shavings in. They blow all over the place
Roosevelt Funk (verified owner) –
Worked good right out of the box. I was able to connect my shop vac to catch the shavings.

For the money this thing is awesome! I used it three times it paid for itself 10 times over! Check out my video on YouTube at High Ridge handyman and check it out in action! Highly recommended I give it 10 stars if it was possible

Planer is great, but I had to get it somewhere else because your shipping takes too long.

This planer is easy to use. I only wish that it came with an attachment for my shop vac. I have tried to find one, but no luck. Have to change the contents of the bag frequently.
