Title: Supprised how good this planer performs.
Product review: A friend gave some rough cut oak lumber. A local lumber yard near my home charged me $15 to plane one 10 foot piece of oak. I figured with 25 pieces of lumber to plane, I could save money by planing it myself with a faily inexpensive planer. The pieces I've planed so far are at least 8 feet long and range in width for about 4 to 12 inches. I had snipe on the first couple of pieces, but found if I lifted the piece slightly when it was about through the planer the snipe was elimated on most of the pieces thereafter. I got 8 pieces to plane yet, but so far I'm very satisified with the planer's performace. Since I running rather long pieces through, I run about 3 board at a time and give the planer time to cool off. For the money, a basement woodworker like me without a lot of lumber to plane might want check out this planer.
