What Customers Are Saying
The cordless planer is generally well-received, with users praising its power, performance, and convenience of being cordless. It is capable of producing smooth, precise cuts on a variety of wood types. However, some users have experienced issues with blade alignment and the lack of a dust collection system, which can make the tool messy to use. A small number of users also reported the planer breaking down after a relatively short period of use. Overall, the cordless planer is a capable and versatile tool, though improvements to the blade adjustment and dust management systems could further enhance the user experience.

Would Not RecommendCarbide blades do not align properly using provided alignment gauge causing uneven cutting and removal of material even when cut depth set to 0 making this planer useless and a waste of money overall disappointed in DeWalt on this one

Great Tool but Messy
Would RecommendI had purchased this as I had 5 slab doors that needed 1/8 - 3/16 trimmed off. 3 quick passes at 1/16 of an inch with this planer did the trick. This was a perfect tool for the job. The only issue I would say is that when you're taking that much material off, it is very messy with saw dust and shavings. There is an outlet for dust but you'd have to hook it up to a shop vac or something to be effective.

Ok, but not great
Would RecommendGood; Power, but should be even better. It struggles immensely on the deepest setting.

I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!
Would RecommendThis thing is rip your face off awesome! Tons of power. Will chew through studs like my junk yard pit bulls using 2x4’s as chew toys. Seriously though, keep it away from your face or hands. It’ll mame you instantly.

"edge chamfering"
Works great except for two things. You'll want to buy the dust bag as it really throws the chips.The owners manual tells you it edge chamfers,but it doesn't allow for adjustment and the cut is far too wide for simple door edging.
