Get the dust bag
By Electrical Guy
Simply great, I have no complaints whatsoever. I have perfected this really goofy method of tapering boards now. You can rotate the depth adjustment while you're planing and get pretty good tapered boards. It works pretty good. Ever need a piece that's 3" wide at one end and 2 3/4" wide at the other? You guys that work on old houses know what I mean. I'm sure this is in the manuals list if things not to do....like don't use the planer in the bathtub. I only wish that they would increase the price $20 and include the dust bag. (Part# DW6656) Power planers spray shavings like confetti so you'll want the bag if you plane doors inside the house. I don't think anyone else even offers a dust bag. I loved the huge case. Dust bag fits inside the case.

By Chris Lange
I have owned this planer for a couple of years now and must say it has been a life saver. It has tons of power, nothing slows this beast down. The front knob is very convenient for adjusting the depth from 1/32 to 3/32. Remember the knob on the front is for balance not steering.I have used this to widen rough-ins for doors and windows. I recently had a framer build a soffit too low. I used this planer to raise the base of the soffit 1/2". This would have been an impossible job without this tool. I have also use this on doors that drag on carpet. One or two swipes and your door is swinging freely. There are a million applications for this thing. Of course a very popular use for this tool is to fix studs before hanging drywall. What an easy way to eliminate high points on a stud or a joyce so the your entire wall is plumb.I've found this tool to be very precise. I can shave 1/32 or really dig deep if I need. The balance is good and the center of gravity is low. It planes glassy smooth with no chatter marks.Another nice feature is a small plastic clip that drops down from the back of the planer. That way when the planer is spooling down you can lay down the tool and the spinning blade won't catch on the surface and take off across the room.There are some tools that are nice to have and some that are a must have. How many times have you needed to remove some wood, but you don't want to chisel it off and ruin the entire piece? With the precised depth adjustment you can make a beautiful plane cut and save your project. This is a must have tool. This tool has saved the day a number of times. I would highly recommend this.

Several things to be aware of
By A Customer
This tool is powerful and does a good job. However, there are several things that I consider design flaws.
First, the depth adjustment is also the front knob/handle. It may just be me, but after a little bit of use I tend to knock the depth off a bit because of the way I'm holding the tool. It should have a way of locking in the depth.
Second, the power cord comes straight out of the back. It always seems to get caught on the end of the board. If it came out the side or at an angle this would happen less often.
