                  Great machine
                  Bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife who does lot of wood work and she loves it. Easy to use and the house is getting a new look with all the work she has done so far.

                  Buy at own risk
                  My complaint is not with how it performs but with company support. I've had this planer for less than three years and recently a bracket for the locking system broke. More specifically the curved pieced that connects the bracket to the vertical rod in the front. Now the problem is not just that when I called the authorized Dewalt repair facility they say this was not covered under the warranty but that the part was discontinued and could not be replaced. Now it looks like I may have found a supplier in the U.S. with the part in stock but it seems less than transparent for these models to still be on sale without any warning that some parts are not be available. Think carefully before purchasing a tool that will cost you over $400.00 when it could be rendered un-serviceable due to an $8.00 part having been discontinued.

                    Well this planer was nice but then the blades said no... The blades chip and wore down fast so I’m sad about that also the base plate in the internal of the planer is loose and sticks up a little. It’s okay but for the price I was really disappointed...
                    by
                      Works great. I bought this because I had started...
                      Works great. I bought this because I had started building my deck with 2 x 6 radius edged boards and was 1/4 done with a large deck when the boards were discontinued. Regular 2 x 6 boards were thicker so I needed to plan them to the same thickness and route the edges. I bought this planer because it has 3 blades and most of the others had only two. It works great. I have planed 12 foot long 2 x 6 boards and they look great. I’m now about 2/3‘ds done and very happy with this planer. When I’m finished with my deck I plan to use the planer to make some furniture from reclaimed wood. I wood definitely recommend this planer.

                      A good planer but . . . .
                      It's a work horse in my wood shop for two years but it has three problems: * The power switch will wear out and break (1 time) * The sawdust chute's plastic tabs will break (both) * The metal pole lock down braces will break (so far 3 times) These are all do to cheap / poor quality The motor and frame are top notch. It's a beast.

                        Decent Planer, But . . . . .
                        I own a wood shop and use this planer every week. I have had it for 2 years. The motor and frame are fine and strong. Planes wood very well. A 3 blade planer is superior to any 2 blade. New blades are expensive at $60, but double sided. You can sharpen theses yourself 2 or 3 more times to bring the cost down. Swapping out blades is not hard. The cons: The metal lock downs have broken 3 times and have had to be replaced. The metal is thin and of poor quality. Power switch gave out after 1 year The plastic tabs that hold the shavings vent on to the machine have broken off.

                          GOOD AS NEW
                          Turned my 27 year old cedar boards that were used on my dock into "good as new" condition. The circuit trips so I will have to run a new dedicated line so won't remain an issue. Also found a great way to transition from the 4" dia. dust hose down to the 2-1/4" fitting for my cyclone lid dust collector. Works like a charm!

                            The right planer for me.
                            Excellent tool. I built a nice table for my new tool.

                            This was for my wife and she absolutely loves this! If there is a downfall, it's real messy. We made a chip can, which helped, but still not perfect. We do everything outside right now, so not a problem. The pic is old barnwood.

                            Great planer but horrible dust collection
                            Plane very sturdy and heavy. Planes very smoothly and came out of the box very accurate, I did not have to make any adjustments to either the depth gauge nor the fold out beds. Turret stops work well when working with thin material and ensures uniform thickness for all your pieces. There are two downside to this product, one is the dust collection. Do not use the provided dust collection piece as it will just clog up your planer from a single board and you will not be able to run anything through. I just get the broom out after every job, as annoying as it is, this is the only way to run the machine smoothly. Second downside is the dept adjustment gauge. It comes off the ruler quite a bit so it is hard to determine what thickness you are at. You have to always look at it at the exact same head position or else you will get inconsistent results as the gauge will look different depending on how you are looking at it. Overall a quality product that planes boards very smoothly with some downsides but is ultimately made well and does the job well.
