  • I trust the Craftsman name
Style: Planer
I got this one for planning my wood and I have not been disappointed with it. I like the way it works and the wood looks great afterwards. I enjoy the knob to make precise adjustments and the increments of being able to get just the right amount of wood off the board to make something nice from pallet wood. If I purchase S4S or S2S I would not have a need to use the planner, but I am a pallet lady and although I don’t pick up every one I see as I’ve gotten more picky about wood and still I find some really nice wood on some of the pallet pieces that I find around town. I have so many ideas for woodworking projects that I have a hard time passing up on free wood. I think a planner is a must buy for me and my woodworking projects. This planner has checked most of my boxes and the price was right for me. I grew up with Craftsman tools in my dad’s garage so I trust them too. ... 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.

  • Cheaper to Refinish than Buy Redwood
Style: Planer
I have 3 redwood decks totalling around 700 sq ft. I constructed this deck 14 years ago and typically would replace 4 or 5 boards every year. The stain we used did not hold up well to traffic so the deck looked pretty beat up. California forced producers to change the stain formulas and the result is a weaker product. Anyway, I considered using stain remover to get down to bare wood. Nope. The best stain remover did the job but my brush was full of gooey stain very quickly plus the stain remover was expensive. So I decided to try to plane my old boards and bought this Craftsman unit. It works well and it feeds the boards through for you. I have used it on 2 x 6 redwood up to 12 ft length. I mounted the planer on my mitre saw stand that has extendable arms. Works well. The only complaint I have is using guidance given here I attached a 4 inch dia expandable aluminum clothes dryer vent tub to the planer with screw tight clamps and fed the tube into a 5 gal bucket. Let's just say the tube gets clogged up immediately and the cuttings blow out the front of the machine(input side). So wearing a mask is a must. I have probably done almost 200 board feet so far and I think the blades are ok BUT when they come to a knot in the board it can stop or slow the planerl. I now have about 5 inches of fine cuttings I will have to blow out of the way berfore it gets any deeper. The good news is I have some "free" mulch for my plants. I would buy it again as it was a bargain given the job it does. Hand Cranking the blades up and down as you switch from flat to edge planing on the 2x6 can be a pain and I have taken a sharpie to mark on the scale for the proper range for a flat or on edge 2x6. We will just be using clear seal on the redwood. ... show more

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
