 "Another Amazon Failure" 2007-02-07
By Randall R. Anderson (Napa, Ca USA)
I've recently talked to a seller on Ebay who had high praises for this planer. The only knock I've heard is the blades can't be sharpened. That's why I'm giving it four stars. I ordered mine four months ago and have been notified by Amazon that it will be another month before delivery. In fairness to Amazon they have answered my emails on the delay. They say the order is being processed and have apologized and offered me a $20 credit for my trouble. They still advertise a 4 to 6 week delivery in their listing for the tool. Hummmmm, anyway, I plan on using the planer to clean up dimensioned timbers for a house I'm building. The Ebay seller I contacted thinks that's a good application. When I get the planer I'll write a more indepth review.

And it continues----Just got notified by Amazon of another delay. we're approaching 6 months now. I talked to a customer rep and she suggeted I buy from someone else that I'll probably never get the planer as Amazon doesn't sell it any more. She also said she has no way of making up price differences if I go to another seller (e.g. Tyler Tool). Still they adverise it available within 4 to 6 weeks so I'm going to wait. When I asked who I could talk to about the delay, She suggestet I write the CEO, Mr. Bezso. Now that was a useful suggestion. I'm sure I'd be Mr. Bezso top priority.

 "Top Quality" 2007-03-08
By George F. Kane (San Antonio)
I bought this planner after first buying a "bargain brand". I first came upon this planer on a construction site over twenty years ago. I don't know if it's the very same model as then, but they still make a Makita sander that looks like mine and it's going on 18 years old too. I like Makita quality. They seem to get the design right and stick with it. This planner worked great right out of the box. In fact, it planed so quickly, that I wanted to use it more to get a better feel for the tool, but the job was already done. It was smooth and no tear out. I use it primarily to pre plane boards that have a twist or have excessive bow, before feeding into my surface planer or jointer. The carpenters I knew, used to plane doors to fit after the house had settled and the doors started sticking. The depth of cut adjustment will determine wether you take a lot or a little off on one pass. Shallow passes repeated is usually best for a smooth finish, but I take larger bites when I'm planing for rough dimentioning. Oh, by the way, the very reasonable price makes this planer an excellent choice.

 "SHARP & TOUGH" 2008-08-23
By Warren E. Greenwald (West Chester,Pa.)
Only knives for this planer that I"m aware of. Amazon.com had a great price & free delivery. I've used several sets of these knives for tropical hardwoods and they do a GREAT job. The planer & three knives combo produces the best results for the dollar.

 "Still cut paper after months of use" 2008-07-27
By A_G (CA United States)
I recently bought these to replace the others in my planer, and when I took the old knives out they still sliced paper! The finish they left on wood wasn't as smooth and polished looking as these new ones leave, but if they can still slice paper that means they are sharp! At nearly $50 for the set they certainly aren't cheap, but I'm only on my third set in four years. I don't use my planer daily, but I am a rather avid woodworker so it doesn't sit idle for months either. Planing mostly very hard tropical hardwoods is the norm for my machine. These knives are made in Taiwan, but to my surprise they are not in any way lacking because of it. As an aside, they are also very easy to reverse/change. Definitely five stars.

 "Wonderful to deal with!" 2007-05-12
By Kitty Austin
The replacement knives were shipped in good time. They work very well. No problems.
