Pros & Cons

Pros

The japanese wood planer has a very sharp blade. It works well on timber with difficult grain directions and knots. I just wish it would work with the newer carbide blades.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


I go crossgrain first to take out the warp and width differences then with the grain for the final finish


I struggled with the dewalt batterypowered planer which was so bad i returned it and got this instead


Id buy it again but i shouldnt have to its build quality is very high


However its made with the stickiest rubber ive ever seen in a power cord

Shipping


Id say that the shipping package was entirely inappropriate for such a heavy item


The wooden box that houses the tool and accessories is sturdy but the interior blocks were dislodged in shipping

Packaging/appearance


Mine was deadon right out of the box no adjustments needed but check anyway


It is out of the way enough to avoid accidental engagement

Competitiveness


Im sure the competitors tool will do the job just not sure of the longevity


A way to direct the chips would be a welcome improvement but this is a small inconvience


I look at the market and noticed an offering from a competitor for half the price


There’s not much on the market that’s comparable

    There is one thing that i wish they would correct and that is not being able to connect a vacuum cleaner


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im sure this was an engineering decision because if it clogged up it could cause damage to the planer but this will make a mess in your shop and be sure to wear breathing protection

    The piece you see was part of an epoxy glue up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 1st time i purchased this item the wooden case it came in was blown apart in shipping


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The tool shifting inside blew out the corners and dislodged the holding blocks


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I sent it back worry of any damage to the planer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
