Best portable planer I've ever used. Period.
Would RecommendThe 13" knife thickness planer cuts through all wood types as smooth as butter. Along with leaving a fantastic finish, this planer is extremely easy to operate. The chain drive makes lowering and raising the head a breeze. I love how easy it is to change the blades as well. The top comes off with only 4 screws and reveals the easily accessible cutter head shroud that has 3 hand loosening wing nuts for easy removal. I love this planer!

The Beast
Would RecommendI’ve used a number of different planers over the years, including smaller Dewalt. It’s heavy and well made. The ejection port combined with my huge shop vac or a dust collection system remedy the cleanup issues that usually accompany planing. Like I said, it’s a beast, so it may not be for everyone, but it’s the best I’ve found in the portable market.

The only down side we have found is that the chips don’t shoot out the side they shoot out of the front and it does hurt but if you can run a hose or something to route them out of your way it’s perfect!

Great home use planer.
Would RecommendNeeded a planer to handle a 12.5” project. Milled down very well seasoned yellow pine no problem. Using the finish speed setting, it was very smooth, requiring minimal sanding before painting. Very easy set up. It puts out a lot of dust so you will need some sort of collection system.
