                  DO NOT BUY
                  Do not buy! My wife bought me this for Christmas 2024 and I used it 3 times and the roller bearing bloc came apart. Been fighting Ryobi for over a year to get it fixed. Ryobi no longer manufactures that part and many other parts associated with this planer. Can’t find the part anywhere. Can’t recommend buying any Ryobi products.

                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] good tool for do it your self project, bought it for my dining table project. I hope the thickness gauge was digital, having hardtime with the gauge but overall not bad for the price!

                      Worth every penny
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this yesterday. I get a lot of oak pallet board, very rough. Most 20-30”. Old dry red oak, takes a few passes to take off all the saw curf, but left boards smooth as glass. Had about 400 boards to do. With my son to catch, took a few hours to turn junk boards into beautiful lumber.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this about 6 weeks ago!! It really does an awesome job for the price! Just be sure to level the attached side tables on it. This machine does exactly what it is supposed to do. I really recommend this planer !

                          Cheaped out in the most critical places.
                          I had to return the the first one I bought as the in/out feed plates were both deformed to the point I could not level them. The plates were good on the second one, but after feeding a few "clean" pieces of 2x4 to test it, the flimsy sheet of "metal" they use in the center of the feed path got gouged. Why on earth did they put this super cheap center plate in the one area that get the most traffic and is where all the work happens??

                            Great tool for a small workspace
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this planer the other day after a complete fail with a handheld electric planer. I'm using it to finish some wood/resin charcuterie boards and small tables. It works great! I read a lot of reviews and only take off a small amount for each pass. My only complaint seems to be the same in most reviews, is that it leaves snipe marks or shallow gauges at the end of the piece. I was able to sand it and smooth it out, but still a little annoying. For the money though, it's fabulous!

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a beginner woodworker this tool is perfect for my shop. It doesn't break the budget and is portable to move out of the way when it's not in use. I used to to clean up cedar fence pickets to make stakes for my wife's gardening wagon.

                                    Bad delivery as always!
                                    The box arrived damaged, with a big hole on top of the box and it appears someone did it on purpose, because there is a handle-like bar at the top of the machine and they might have broke the hole to use the bar for carrying the item to the delivery location (though instructions say not to use it as a handle bar). Too bad this Thickness Planer is not available in the store, at least not the store near me otherwise I will go pick it up myself.
