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.

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.

Awesome! Came ready to use and works great! The dust collector hooks right to my Craftsman shop vac! And there no doubt this thing has the Power to pull a 6” board through.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
