In the same boat as you, I am new. The experience is still frightening, but I think it is beneficial because it makes me think twice before I press a The safety is my first priority. I tried regular hand planes, but the cheaper ones need to be calibrated and tuned, so the time and effort aren't worth the effort. The more expensive ones are very expensive because I would need 2 or 3 of them in It costs between $3 and $500 to purchase a new one. It would be great if you were able to find a nice used one. While I would prefer hand planers for fine woodwork and furniture construction, I would choose the hand planers over the power planers. There's nothing better than a little monster like this. The machine is supposed to do a 1/64" depth cut or something like that, but it will still leave a groove or wedge mark on a large board, and sanding will be required. It might be time to tune up my planer. There is a YouTube video explaining how to calibrate Ryobi planers. My only regret is that I must replace it because it cuts a plane wood even at the As I was lazy, I didn't want to put in the time for a 3 week-old project It should be tuned up if it is an old new item. It's great to be able to return items to Amazon!
There is no knot sticking in it, so I don't have to worry about it. In case you do not press down hard enough, it may jump. Here is a translation I hope
While the motor is powerful enough for hardwood, are you sure that you want to plane a composite, since they are not meant for that? You might be better off to use a special sand paper for the composite. Just keep in mind that when you plan hardwoods the blades will need to be sharpened more often.
I bought mine a few years back, and it did come with an edge guide. I recommend checking the current model on the Makita website to ensure that it still comes with an edge guide.

On a knot in mesquite, the cutting blade shattered on impact. It was not just chipped, but shattered! The process of changing blades is frustrating, to say the least. Some genius decided not to keep it stable when they worked on it, so they made it movable. This thing needs to be cradled while you work on it, so you might have to build a stand for it or ask a friend to help. It is unacceptable, though, if the blade breaks because of a knot. That will be one of the things I reach out about.
Because I don't have enough space for one of those planers you put the wood in, I bought this. After reading many reviews, I came to the conclusion that it is a terrific product. Although this item was a little more expensive than cheaper models, I needed something that would last a long time. The brand I chose is known for its According to the description, it cuts just like it is It is very easy to work with and works very well on small projects, because I am a professional woodworker.
A lovely planer. I love it. There would have been a benefit to having an adjustable angle for the fence so I wouldn't have to make a 3 degree bevel guide from wood, but nothing major. In any case, it would be better for me to make my own. I thought it was a great tool and it's.
Great power, superb depth adjustment, and the ability to make razor-smooth cuts, this is an amazing We ordered the vacuum connector and are still trying to figure out how it works, but the planer itself is fantastic. This is arguably one of the most expensive models in its size range, but it is 100% worth the price. I had another Porter Cable model, and this blows it out of the water.
A tool like this is worth its weight in gold when it comes to resizing slab doors! This product is very accurate, extremely easy to use, and I would buy it over and over again for double the.
I am extremely satisfied with this planer based on the price I paid and the amount I use it (primarily to make scarf joints for marine plywood). If you are going to make 34+ inch wide by 20-inch deep boards, a larger, heavier planer might do better, but if you are going to make This lightweight and agile engineered wood has 30 inch long joints (stacked sheets of plywood). Thanks to its lighter weight and agility, it is.
This is how Makitas typically behave With good balance, ease of use, and durability, it just does what it's supposed to do. I've had mine for many years, I've replaced the blades a few times - I like it This tool was used to renovate an old craftsman home built in 1919, primarily for trim. It was also used to level flooring joists. Getting the vac attachment and using it will be very valuable to you, otherwise you will spend more time cleaning up than planning. The tool that we use when we cut is really loud, so we recommend wearing ear protection (and goggles).
This planer has a lot of power. Straight lines are maintained with no effort. There is no bag, no issue, it connects straight to a shop vacuum.
