Built a screened in porch for my wife and needed to plane the trim I made on the sawmill. After borrowing a friend's much heavier planer and wrestling with it for hours I decided to buy one of my own. I have always found Craftsman hand tools to be quality products so after reviewing I decided to go with this one. I have to say so far I am very pleased. The unit is heavy enough to stay put when used but light enough not to break my back moving it. The four holes in the base also give you a easy point to bolt the unit down. I have put about 1200 board foot through this unit and it is still cutting as well as, if not better than, my friends three knife brand. The measurements appear accurate and the shavings collector all work well. If I had one issue it would be the placement of the power cord at the front left of unit. A side placement would seem more practical and out of the way. This is a quality planer that looks as if it will last the long haul. I will let you know in a future post about ease of blade replacement and cleaning. Well done Craftsman. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. Hub's and I set up the new craftsman bench top 15amp planer. Very easy to set up, all we had to do was add the handle and plug it in. We took it for a test drive with a 2x4, 1x3 treated board and a cedar fence. This thing is AWESOME! The wood was nice and smooth.. took the rounded edges off with ease. Love that it can take large boards and it's easy to adjust. My only complaint is that there is a snipe at the end of the wood. It's like the board hopped or something pushed the blade down more when you first insert the wood...🤷♀️ Not sure how to fix that. Guess we need to research how to correct that, but other than that, it works perfectly! This is going to save me so much time and headaches! Time to read the instructions! Update: snipe is easy to fix. Make sure the board is being inserted straight. Don't make deep cuts all that once, do smaller passes multiple times to help prevent snipe ... show more

    • Good quality tool
Style: Planer
It works well on softer woods. Haven’t tried it on hardwood. Easy to use and adjust. It came perfectly level. Typical noise level for this type of planer.

    • 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

    • Awesome planer!!!

The media could not be loaded. With a name like Craftsman, I expect good quality. And this machine DELIVERED!!! The video shows how well it planed some pallet boards. I still can't believe how well it did! The directions say to only hook up the dust port to a dust collection system and not a shop vac. Wanna bet? Worked like a charm... ... show more

    • Quality planer!
Style: Planer
Right out of the box this is a great “lunchbox” planer at a great price point! Since I’ve purchased this I’ve ran a decent amount of board foot through this thing and the blades are still nice and sharp. The blades are also double sided so you can flip them over before you plan on replacing or sharpening them. A vacuum is a must, it has a port to hook up a shop vac to, there’s virtually no mess after that. It’s very easy to set up and very easy to use. ... show more
