Title: Good planer, but it is a sniper
Product review: This is a nice 12.5 inch planer for less $$$ than the 12 inch models. It is my first planer so keep that in mind.I have run a 12" X 20" X 2" maple cutting board with excellent results. It seems to have more snip with narrower stock. 1"x4" ash, red oak, and pine seem to have excess, easily visible snipe for about 3" on each end. It is best to run long boards, then cut them to size and discard the ends.I like the carry handle, but this unit is heavy and awkward to carry. Minor assembly needed upon receipt was a breeze. With $25 off coupon and free shipping, it is easily the best deal on the net. BTW: the free shipping was FedEx 3 day!!!!!!
