Title: Taking it to the dump
Review: I've had this planner for about 4 years and I'm taking it to the dump as soon as my Makita planner comes in. I've had it in to the Dewalt service center 4 times because I could no longer raise or lower the bed. I'm not sure what the problem is - whether saw dust is blocking the sprockets or the posts are moving, but Dewalt does not seem to be able to make a lasting repair - and they don't seem too concerned about it when I talk to them. Other people here have mentioned how quickly the blades dull. Some of the more expensive aftermarket blades are better, but not much better - it you do a lot of work planning, you need to have a supply of replacement blades. The only thing I like was the dust extractor - which blows sawdust out - you don't have to pull it out - but the inside of the machine does fill up with saw dust.My advice, look for a different planner.
