In for one, I _think_ I'll need it for some construction work. Specifically making a bunch of 2x4s level and square and leveling framing for a table top.

Is this good investment for that, and What are the other use-cases?

I have one and used it to plane doors. It works beautifully.

Just a word of caution, the dust collection bag fills up very quickly. It would be best to connect to a shop vac.

Most anyplace you would use a hand plane for, this will work.

Normally for squaring up wood, you would use a jointer on one edge that makes it square to side against fence and then run through a table saw to make parallel. Then the remaining flat side is ran through a planer. You can do it with this and a hand square to keep checking, but a slow process.

For table tops, a router jig set up on rails works well to have a perfectly flat top, but check your clamping and you can do it without. I am thinking a belt sander might be more useful. You can also do it with this, but once again, a slow, tedious job, where I would probably opt for other than battery, like this one [ebay.com]. There are even cheaper models and I bought two of those cheaper on a sale for less than $30 because they take the same blades and drive belts as our older Makita's. They still work for a fraction of the cost. Otherwise, you are going to eat through the batteries.

I am looking to get one to plane doors, too.

By that, I mean that we have some doors in my parent's house that needs to be sanded down a bit to fit better.

Is that something this would do well? Thanks!

Maybe. You would be better with carbide blades and old paint, but a belt sander may be the better tool. And of course, you want to protect your lungs.

When planing doors with these, as you come off the end, you have to hold the solid back plate tight to door, or you will get snipe, a slight groove at the end. I typically stop and come from the other end to the line that I have already marked and constantly adjusting the depth of cut as I get close. If you have never used one of these, they are great, but if not needing to take off much material, a belt sander with different grit belts is a lot safer for the door. Smilie

Very Helpful!

Yeah I will need to lower and then level off a short wall, was planing to cut with a reciprocating saw first then use a hand planer to level off the vertical studs where needed. I think I can use this instead of doing by hand. I have a laser level already to help.

Might look into a low cost corded option, but This looks convenient and I have a bunch of Ryobi tools already. Now I Wish I had kept my 9ah batteries from the old deals..

Ordered one. Been kinda wanting one for a long time anyway for adjusting doors, but now I also would like to clean up the edges of some butcher block countertop scraps so I can join them together, and I think they're too big/heavy to get through a bench planer.
