WHAT'S THIS?

Good Cut and Power, But Rough Spots In V-groove
Wood Magazine, Volume 153, 2003-12

The reviewer said his tested model was almost perfectly set, out-of-the-box, although the rear shoe required a tiny adjustment before use. This planer has enough horsepower to make 1/8"-deep cuts as wide as the shoe (3 1/4") in red oak with very little bogging down. The cut quality is definitely good so the surface requires very little sanding afterwards. There is a tilting fence for steadying the tool for chamfering at 45 degrees, but rough places in the cast V-groove in the base caused unnecessary slowing when sliding the planer along the workpiece.
