Title: Horrible assembly problems still persist
Review: I'm giving this item a "1" simply because of the persistant assembly problems noted by others. As of March, 2006, this sucker was still being supplied with mixed metric/SAE hardware, despite the instructions to the contrary. Also, my instructions had numerous errors, the most egregious of which was the instruction to use the long bolts for base assembly and the medium bolts for planer mounting. If you actually do it this way you'll wind up with a stand that wobbles loosely and can't mount the planer, so you'll have to do some significant reassembly. I just complained to DeWalt about this, and they say that they are forwarding my comments to their production manager.On the other hand, if you finally get the assembly right, the product seems to work very well indeed.
Is the review positive or negative?
