Great planer for a new woodworker
5 Stars
Great planer for a new woodworker
I'm new to woodworking and bought this when it went on sale on Amazon. I have now used it to plane down some 4/4 cherry to 3/4 for a bookcase and a cabinet that I built and some quilted maple for the cabinet doors. I had to learn how to use a melamine shelf as a planer sled with some shims, but it has worked out ok so far. When I got it, I first build the planer stand that is pictured and although I don't have any experience, this little mobile cart has made it so easy to use. It also folds up and stores nicely in the corner of my shed/shop. I'd highly recommend this stand from woodsmith especially if you're tight on space.As far as the planer itself, it has been nothing but great. Sometimes it seems to have a little snipe, other times, I can't see any. I read tons of reviews and this planer is what everyone says. To note, I hooked up my ridgid 6hp shop vac along with a dust deputy to the 2.5" adapter that comes with this planer. Outside of the one time where I wasn't paying attention and let the dust deputy get completely full, there is basically zero sawdust anywhere. So glad I purchased this tool!!!!
