This planer had good reviews and many YouTubers have it so I bought it. It seems to work fine, but does take some practice. I watched Youtube videos to understand features and how it works. I don't know if sniping occurs with all planers but this one leaves a significant snipe. This requires planing more length than needed so the sniped part can be cut off.

Very smooth cuts right out of the box. I recommend watching allot of YouTube videos on how to setup and operate it. Fast and simple assembly. I tried it with and without dust collection. You really want to have some sort of dust collection. Highly recommend this tool.

Planner works great and all. Only complints i have are that 1) a rigid shopvac does not connect to the dust port, so i had to duct tape mine until i got a 3rd party adraptor. 2) the metal wings i got are weak, the one i have in the front wraped to make it bow so now i get snipe in the front of my boards since i cant level the wraped wing. 3) i never got the dust shute that it shows in the listing.

I haven't actually used it yet, but I'm hopeful it's good. My only problem is I paid for a brand new planer and got one that was apparently used instead because the blades on it was dirty and there was sawdust inside of it.

Works mostly well. The first few passes are difficult, especially with rough cut. I clean and wax every use. But even at 0-1/32 removal, constantly jambs leaving snipe and black wheel marks all the way down the board. If you have a knot in even the softest of woods, it will scar the blade. Like anyone, I hate sanding more than anything. Those blade scars offer a great opportunity to do the thing I hate most. As an important consideration, this thing weighs over 92 lbs. If you have limited space and want to store it, hope you have a strong back.Overall, it's better than most planers I've used and the 4 post system is far more accurate. This would be a great planer for those who have large shops and don't need to move it and also don't mind adding sanding time to remove the lines from the low quality blades they chose.

I have owned a good number of planets both portable and cabinet and this one ranks near the top. It is built very well and simple to use. No machine is perfect and there are a couple nit picked things but none of them impact the performance.I ran a few board feet through it and on high speed there was little or no snipe and at low speed I can see this is going to cut down on sanding time. The word was very smooth and when I put the calipers of the board the thinness was almost perfect along the length of the board. No planer is silent when operating, the noise produced by this planer was normal for this type of machine. I am looking forward to running a few hundred board feet and see how things go.I would recommend this machine to theirs without hesitation.

This thing is a beast. We ran several walnut and maple pieces thru it for counter tops. Excellent power and smooth cuts. Came out fantastic. Then we ran some rough cut poplar.. also ran very nicely. Runs pine thru like buttah! Very pleased! I ordered the stand also. Its due in today. This thing is a beast it needs the stand to keep it stable.

IMHO this is the best small shop planer you can get. Very little set up needed. It works well right out of the box. It weighs a lot so get the Dewalt mobile stand designed to go with the planer to make it easy to move around your shop. It's very stable as well.

I use this planer daily for my cutting board business. Within about 2 weeks I started to experience some belt squeaking noise. Thought it might have gotten some sawdust in it or it wasn't aligned properly from the factory. I inspected it and didn't see either issue. I used the old fashion bar soap trick that you would use on a cars serpentine belt and now several weeks later its been quiet. Also the rollers that guide the wood through need to be cleaned regularly or you will get slippage when they get dirty. Also waxing the planer surface really helps with reducing snipe and smooth cutting. Other then those minor issues this is a fantastic planer. It gets you down to about 120 grit smoothness. The stock blades last surprisingly long considering I run mostly hardwood and use it daily. Glad I spent the extra money vs a cheap 2 blade planer.

My last Makita planer (2 blade) lasted 30 years. This 3 blade model works great - it's nice that is included a dust chute and carrying handles. I put it on a cart with locking wheels.
