Community Reviews
This DeWALT thickness planer is valued as a heavy duty tool for finish carpentry, rough or hard stock, and tricky grain where straight knives can tear out. The included wings help reduce snipe, the extra blades are useful, and a digital thickness gauge can make board settings more precise. The stand with wheels adds mobility in a small shop, but the planer is very loud, throws a lot of sawdust, and is very heavy. It feels like a strong fit when the extra accessories and shop setup matter.
The included wings can help reduce snipe when planing longer stock.
The helical cutter setup can reduce tearout on challenging grain areas.
The digital thickness gauge can be set down to 0.001 inch for board-by-board control.
The wheeled stand can make a small workspace workable by moving the planer out of the way.
The planer can be extremely loud and it can spit a lot of sawdust during feeding.
The planer is very heavy, so garage delivery and careful handling may matter for safe arrival.
The wings may not completely eliminate snipe even when they are dialed in.
The unit can fail and stop working, with at least one report of it being dead now.
