Title: great so far
Review: so far, so great. this is the first planer i have ever owned and i can't imagine a simpler machine to use. it was dead on right out of the box, with no detectible snipe. the dust hood works great (i have it connected to a 2hp bridgewood dust collector). the two things that have impressed me the most so far are the finish, the wood only needs a quick 220 sanding before finishing, and the accurancy of material removal gauge. that thing is awesome when you need to just shave off a 1/32 or 1/64 of an inch. i can't imagine trying to dial that in without one of these gauges.i spent a long time comparing this planer to the delta two speed planer. i took a trip to lowes, which carries both machines, i decided that the dewalt had a better fit and finish, and the ergonomics were much better, eg. the four column lock right over the motor is great for quick releases and lock downs.overall, a great machine.
