What Customers Are Saying
The planer is effective for simple woodworking projects, with customers praising its power and ease of use. However, some users encountered issues like excessive dust, difficulty finding replacement parts, and the planer locking up and burning out the belt. It appears to be a decent budget-friendly option for occasional light-duty use, but more serious woodworkers may want to consider a higher-quality model.

Bought this planer to size some old solid doors after restoration project. It worked great. Was easy to control, plenty of power and left a very smooth straight finish. Saved me a lot of time also. I would recommend.

Beast of a machine
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this Craftsman corded planer for 5 years. This tool has been absolutely fantastic in planing down multiple doors in my “new to me” house that just wouldn’t close flush and needed an inch or less shaved off the top or bottom. It is an absolute beast, works like a charm and is a tool I treasure having in my garage. Craftsman really delivered with this. Thank you!!

Reasonable price and easy to use
Would RecommendMy son had a couple doors in his house that were sticking and I forgot to bring my manual planer on a recent visit. I decided to go ahead and purchase this power planer and it did not disappoint. It made the job so much easier than a manual planer. No more sticky doors! And it left a pretty smooth surface behind much better than with a small manual plainer like I had at home. Probably won't be using the manual one anymore.
