Both plane fine, just remember to take off a very tiny about each pass. Rarely do I take off more than 1/64" per pass with hardwood. You get a much better surface taking your time.
The thin steel infeed and outfeed plates are not flat. Warped in all directions. After spending an hour trying to get them level with the cutting surface I finally gave up and settled for "close enough".
The bolts used to adjust the infeed/outfeed surfaces are much, much too short with only a couple threads biting the soft aluminum base. It doesn't take much force on the lock nuts to strip out those two threads. I really wish I had realized how short they are before damaging the threaded hole. If you do buy this planer, I highly recommend checking the length of those four bolts, and if they don't reach the bottom of the threaded holes, replace them before trying to fuss with adjustments.
