  • Works great
Style: Planer
We were hesitant to spend money on this. But now making all kinds of things. Rough cut lumber turned into usable lumber. Great purchase

  • Good Value for Money, Solid Planer.
Style: Planer
Love this planer. It’s a heavy beast though, I don’t have a permanent home for it, so it gets tucked away and dragged out when needed. You’ll definitely want ear protection. It’s loud, and even louder with a shop vac attached. Don’t skip on the respirator or mask, even with a shop vac it can still be quite dusty. Setup was quick, it was running in under 15 minutes. I take light passes to cut down on snipe; haven’t tuned it out completely, but those shallow cuts make a big difference. The weight’s actually a plus, I move it around a lot, sometimes even run it outside, and it stays rock solid whether it’s on concrete or the driveway. So far my work pieces have come out smooth and consistent each time. I do a quick check for thickness every two or three passes, and thus far it's all been good. ... show more

  • Strong Benchtop Planer Performance With Typical Small-Shop Tradeoffs
Style: Planer
I purchased this CRAFTSMAN benchtop planer for small woodworking and project work where I needed something more capable than handheld sanding but without stepping up to a full stationary shop planer. For a benchtop unit, it performs surprisingly well and removes material consistently when taking reasonable passes. The 15-amp motor has enough power for dimensional lumber cleanup, edge work, and smoothing rough boards for hobby or home-shop projects. The cutter head leaves a respectable finish for this class of planer, especially when using sharp knives and proper feed rates. Setup was fairly straightforward, and the overall footprint works well in smaller workshops where space matters. I also appreciate that it’s portable enough to move when needed instead of dedicating permanent floor space to a larger machine. The reason this isn’t a 5-star rating is that, like many benchtop planers in this range, it can struggle a bit with snipe and benefits from careful material support during longer passes. Dust collection is also something you’ll want to address quickly because it generates a substantial amount of chips. Even with those limitations, it offers solid performance for hobbyists and general woodworking tasks at a reasonable price point. ... show more

  • Amazing for wood working jobs in your garage!
Style: Planer
Got this as a gift for my dad, and loves it! It perfectly aligned getting every piece of wood perfectly even, have it in a flat surface and it will not move and be very sturdy, the quality is just amazing, is fast, and the noise level is as expected from this type of tools.

  • good starter planer
Style: Planer
Does a smooth enough job planing for a 2-blade unit. I use it outdoors so don't really use the dust collection adapter, but it looks like a design after though. The thickness crank works smoothly enough. I still get some snipe on the board ends no matter how I adjust things, it's just the nature of budget planers. I just get longer boards and cut off the bad ends. Keep some extra blade sets on hand since all it takes is one impurity in your board to damage them, and hardwoods also wear them out fast. Good enough for someone who is just starting woodworking or a casual weekender. ... show more

  • Just plane awesome!!
Style: Planer
This is my first planer so i cant compare it to dewalt or others. But from what i have seen , i am very happy with the results. The snipe is minor and with a little tweaking you can reduce the snipe to a very acceptable level. There is plenty of you tube tutorials on how to do this. This is a top notch machine and well worth the price. Tip: unless you have a very strong suction on a dust collector dont bother with the shroud. It will just clog up fast. ... show more

  • Great planer for the money. Hobbyist or tinkerer
Style: Planer
I’m a hobbyist wood worker. This is my first bench planer. So far it works great. Definitely some snipe like some of the other reviews state. It seams towards the end of the auto feed the board stops rolling and that’s when it happens. Just got to get used to pulling it out at the same speed or I was thinking of building a block to keep boards level as it comes out. I’ve been planing rustic red/white oak for trimming around windows and doors. So far so good. Wish I would have bought one sooner. I’ll update this review based on longevity after I use it for a while. ... show more
