Needs work. Both shoes had to be sanded flat. The leveling adjustment for the front shoe is poorly designed & unreliable, needs to be at least 3 set screws. Manual very short on necessary instructions. Loosen end set screws in blade holder or large screws won’t turn. Exhaust port doesn’t fit std home vacuum hose. Needs adapters for inverted table use. Replace BB under orange dial w/ roundhead pin in spring. Otherwise OK. Haven’t used yet.

I had a few doors to plane down and this worked great. Got it because I have only occasional need of a planer and the price was right. Good value.

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.

When received, I found it to be heavier than hoped. Since I would be working over my head a lot, I returned it to look for a lighter option. Never actually used it for anything. Did look well made but, it was unusable for my needs.

Received faster than I expected. opened box, plugged in and started using. very impressed with cut. had been using a old sears (20+ years old) liked the ability to change direction of chip exhaust. probably will never use the dust bag since will be used outside. hope it holds up rest of my life. would definitely buy again for the price

Does a good job cutting but is a little on the bulky side. Definitely worth the cost

I was thinking at such a great price I should buy another for taking paint off re-claimed material.
