1.		DELTA ShopMaster TP305 15 Amp 12-1/2-Inch Portable Planer from Delta Price: $284.49 Customer Review: Got this machine 2 months ago from Amazon and really like it. It's very simple and robust. The calibrations were dead on. Just remember to remove the plastic film on the ss tray and wax it before using. For hardwood, I make successive passes by lowering the cutter 1/4 turn each time, and I get very... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Bosch 1594K 6.5 Amp 3-1/4-Inch Planer Kit from Bosch Price: $119.95 Customer Review: It removes a tremendous amount of material very quickly. Have the work firmly held in place and use both hands in a fluid motion -- there is really no way around that. You will also need a lot of space to work the tool and a strategy on how to tackle your particular project. Take light passes. Woods... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Makita 2012NB 12-Inch Planer with Interna-Lok Automated Head Clamp from Makita Price: $471.87 Customer Review: I've been very happy using this planer for the last 4 years but the last time I pulled it out it did something it had never done before. The boards were jerking along, actually stopping and starting. My first thought was the rollers slipping but looking with a flashlight, the rollers were actually... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		DEWALT DW734 Heavy Duty 15 Amp 12-1/2-Inch Benchtop Planer from DEWALT Price: $399.00 Customer Review: I am a huge Dewalt fan and consumer. My workshop looks like one big splash of yellow. I have been in the building trade since 1974 and a custom spec home builder since 1987. Recently, I expanded my range of finish work and have immersed myself in custom mill work, creating my own trim, door casings,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Jet JJP-10BTOS 10-Inch Bench Top Jointer/Planer from JET Price: Too low to display Customer Review: I rarely need a jointer or planer. Easy to assemble and light weight. This will work fine for my needs. It is a little fidgety to change over from jointing to planing and back again. The dust port must be re-installed for each operation for the machine to run. You must use a shop vac or dust... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Black & Decker 7698K 5.2 Amp 3-1/4-Inch Planer from Black & Decker Price: $52.49 Customer Review: I needed a power planer to shave off some wood off a gate that had swollen due to rain, but did not want to spend a lot of money for a tool that would be used just occasionally. I was skeptical of this tool due to the price compared to others costing much more, but decided to take a chance. Long... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Wixey WR510 Digital Planer Readout with Fractions from Wixey Price: Too low to display Customer Review: This Wixey gauge is a quality measurment device with some really cool features. It will predict with very good accuracy what planer height is set to BEFORE you make the pass. It can be set to read incramentally, in other words how much you change the planer height from the previous pass. It is... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Jet JJP-8BT 8-Inch Bench Top Jointer/Planer from JET Price: $299.99 Customer Review: I ordered the combo based on the good reviews here and some other places. I also followed the suggestions and called JET for the diagram to adjust the outfeed table. However, I simply could not set the infeed and outfeed table to be coplanar following the instructions. The front of the infeed... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		DEWALT DW735 15 Amp 13-Inch Benchtop Planer from DEWALT Price: $639.00 Customer Review: I've been planing rough sawn hickory with mine since I got it. And, yes, it takes its toll on the blades. But, I came in and read the reviews before purchasing this planer (my older brother also got one) and several had some really good suggestions on how to minimize the issues that come up.

10.		DEWALT DW7350 Planer Stand with Integrated Mobile Base from DEWALT Price: $164.55 Customer Review: First I'll say that I did not consider this stand at its current price point. I did however find it cheaper (think green tools and a type of bear) and bought it. I was impressed with the packaging and the abused box contained untouched pieces. There is plenty of foam and plastic to protect... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		DEWALT DW7351 Folding Table for DW735 Planer from DEWALT Price: $49.80 Customer Review: I found this product very useful. I use to have the older series dewalt planner that had them built in. The one these go on is a much better planner. It is even better now that I have these wings on it. It has virtually no skipe. If you have the planner. You need these wings.

12.		Powermatic 1791210 Model 15S Deluxe 15-Inch 3-Horsepower 230-Volt 1-Phase Planer with Spiral Cutterhead and Digital Readout from Powermatic Price: Too low to display Customer Review: I have this planer in a wood working lab at a university. I got it because bench-top planers can only handle 13" wide stock and a typical guitar body blank is wider than that. The Powermatic is heavily built and I assumed it would hold up well under hard use. It is indeed heavy and the quality... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Ridgid R4330 27263 15 Amp 13-Inch Thickness Planer with 3-Blade Cutterhead from Ridgid Price: $555.60 Customer Review: If your going to buy one of these units make sure it's the newer version three blade. At some point in the last year or so the design changed slightly and they added a third blade. Home Depot carries these in both the new three blade version and two blade version. Same model number and SKU#. The... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		DEWALT DW680K Heavy-Duty 7 Amp 3-1/4-Inch Planer from DEWALT Price: $166.62 Customer Review: I've had this tool about six weeks now and I'm satisfied that it works as advertised. I'm still learning how to use this tool to its best effect, but I'm pleased with my purchase so far. I have no experience or alternative planers to compare to, though, since the Dewalt is the first planer I've ever... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1594K-RT 3-1/4-Inch Planer Kit with Bevel Guide Fence from Bosch Price: $119.99 Customer Review: I bought this planer to shape surfboards. It works perfectly, much better than the clark modified planer that I was using.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Rockwell ProGrade 7A Planer 7.0 Amp 3-1/4-Inch from Rockwell Price: $99.99 Customer Review: This is my first time using other than a manual planer. Surprise... It works great. I have a project using reclaimed lumber and planed each board before cutting to size. Worked great. Don't forget to get a metal detector so you do not destroy your planer blades and have the expense of replacing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Bosch PA1202 Pair of Woodrazor Tungsten Carbide Planer Blades from Bosch Price: $9.61 Customer Review: This reconditioned product is great -- I'm sure it depends on why it was returned but my unit doesn't even have a scratch on it. The only problem is it is missing the upper plastic portion on the height adjuster knob. A little hard to turn that way, but I suppose a small price to pay for the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Bosch 3365 5 Amp Planer from Bosch Price: $100.28 Customer Review: That vacuum bag works amazingly well, see for yourself how much dust that bug picks up leaving less work for your broom and handvacs.

19.		Rockwell RK9010 12-1/2-Inch Thickness Planer from Rockwell Price: $299.99 Customer Review: I purchased this planer because mechanically, it is the same as a Grizzly model I had for five years with good success. Amazon had this Rockwell model for the same price as a new Grizzly, and shipping was free from amazon vs. almost $50 from Grizzly. The planer arrived with the box almost... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Makita 793346-8 Planer Blade for Model 2012 and 2012NB from Makita Price: $38.99 Customer Review: This is a great system for changing blades, No settings just follow instructions, knives stay very sharp and long lasting. I just planned 100 Board feet of black Walnut and still ready for more use. The only time I changed blades is I gave it a nail to eat.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
