What Customers Are Saying
The planer performs well on softer woods like oak and pine, with users describing it as effective and easy to set up. However, some customers have experienced issues such as excessive snipe, difficulty adjusting the feed tables, and even complete failure after limited use. While suitable for light-duty home projects, the planer may not be durable enough for more demanding applications.

This is a Lowes/feed review
I ordered this on June 8th as a Father's day present. It has been sitting in Orlando since June 12th. I put the street address and PO Box on it because that's where the billing comes. Thanks Lowes for sending it PO Box with FedX???!!! I'm not sure why FedX has not tried to contact me. Would not recommend Lowes for mailing gifts. Can't upload pictures... Um because I still don't have the item.

Snipe
Would Not RecommendI purchased this planer and immediately cleaned it, waxed it, and checked the level of the in and out feed tables. From the factory Craftsman was dead on with the infeed and outfeed boards being level with the planer. I feed my first board through and get snipe. I triple check the level, again, Craftsman was good enough to get the level dead on. I spent the entire weekend, watching videos, troubleshooting, etc. I finally came across a video of a gentlemen making his own infeed, outfeed, and plan...
