I received this machine as a gift from my grandfather a number of years ago and it still works nearly as well as when I received it. It has sufficient power for nearly all operations that I need it for, and has always cut very accurately. The ability of the blades to be flipped is a great feature and restored the machine to cutting nearly as well as it did out of the box. Only problem I have seen lately has been the rollers have a tendency to slip – I intend to clean them and suspect that will solve the problem. Overall a great value machine with more than adequate quality and durability.

This planer is user friendly. A very helpful gauge. Semi quiet. Biggest disappointment are the blades. They wear quick! This machine will chip out edge grain maple. A little disappointing overall

So far so good, key is not to try and take too much off in one pass.

My garage is Dewalt yellow and has been for many, many years! I do a lot of work at home and for others. I wish I had purchased this great tool many years ago. I had this tool setup and was using within minutes. It does a great job for around the house and for professionals.

Prior to my purchasing the planer I had read that thickness planers can often cause snipe which is a scalloped sort of cut at the end of the board . Therefore , I cut my material three or four inches longer to allow for snipe . I quickly learned that the DeWalt planer does not have snipe issues and I now cut my material to the required size . Very impressed with the machine , easy to use , smooth and accurate results .

I’ve used the machine for a couple of weeks now with rough cut pine and it’s been generally very good. Strong motor, good cutters with very little sanding required afterwards to get a super nice finish. The only real issue I have with it is the adjusters for the fold down metal sides – these let you adjust how the wood enters and leaves the planer…they are finicky and impossible to set to minimize snipe.
