Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 13-in W 15.0 -Amp Benchtop Planer

Dewalt Planner

Best small shop planner on the planet!! Ben using for almost a year and love it. It is a work horse!

Great planer!

So far, this planer is far better than my old Delta 12 inch planer. I am experiencing a little bit of snipe but it sands out easily. I am currently planing cutting boards made from maple, cherry and walnut strips that are glued together. The overall finish on the boards looks great.

Pays for itself

Typical Dewalt built product. Reliable,heavy duty. Pays for itself fast when buying rough lumber

Great planer

Have had this planer for 3 yrs. And still going strong. Only negative comment I have is the blades tend to dull quickly vs mu old Delta 2 blade planer I sometimes still use. Thought about the helical head but at 1/2 the price of the planer it is a hard choice.

Dewalt Planner

Bought 2-1/2 years ago. Works fantastic no issues with planner

Have only had this a couple of weeks and it works as good as expected. The chip ejection is fantastic and the finish quality is amazing.

Awesome planee

Great product.

It was a couple day late

Above my expectations!

It does everything that I wanted and more. It's easy to use. I never used a planer before, so it's easy for a novice woodworker.

Great, until i needed service

Bought heavy unit (92 lbs) not quite 3 years ago. Used it carefully to clean up wood. Generally it worked well. Replaced blades after 1 year. Used for light, occasional home use on weekends. Then a horrible shaking, clanking began when power was on. Carefully took it apart and the 2 screws holding the cutter roller left end support were loose. Tightened, but they kept loosening after 1 -2 cuts. They they flew off and the clanking was terrible. The screws were stripped but metal shards had fl...

Sturdy and Powerful

This planer is as advertised; a quality tool that produces great results. Highly recommend.

Ex optional product at a competitive price

When you see you tubers say how great a tool is, I always wonder how much they were paid to say that. Well this one exceeded what I hoped it would be! I have been using a Cutech box planer I got off marketplace, I completely fixed it up and changed all the spiral cutting blade and it has been working well. But the straight knives in this Dewalt just blowes it out of the water!! Almost no tear out or snipe compared to the Cutech. I didn't buy mine new, but dont buy a new lunch box planer,...

Great Improvements

Heavy duty complete machine. I had a 12-1/2 inch Dewalt for 10 years and now have this 13 inch. Some good improvements include 2 cut speeds and neutral for cleaning rollers. I look forward to owning this machine for many years to come.

Easy to set up

The planer had almost no setup out of the box and was quick to understand. A dust collector with a 4" hose is highly recommended in a shop setting. Shopvacs won't work. Also the chip ejector is pretty powerful. So if you're outdoors, no problem.

It is rated at the top for planners for small shop

Have not used it yet.

Best thickness adjustments I ever used,

Absolutely great product, feeds straight and tons of power
