- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Style: PlanerVerified PurchaseRight out of the box this is a great “lunchbox” planer at a great price point! Since I’ve purchased this I’ve ran a decent amount of board foot through this thing and the blades are still nice and sharp. The blades are also double sided so you can flip them over before you plan on replacing or sharpening them. A vacuum is a must, it has a port to hook up a shop vac to, there’s virtually no mess after that. It’s very easy to set up and very easy to use.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2022Style: PlanerVerified PurchaseBuilt a screened in porch for my wife and needed to plane the trim I made on the sawmill. After borrowing a friend's much heavier planer and wrestling with it for hours I decided to buy one of my own. I have always found Craftsman hand tools to be quality products so after reviewing I decided to go with this one. I have to say so far I am very pleased. The unit is heavy enough to stay put when used but light enough not to break my back moving it. The four holes in the base also give you a easy point to bolt the unit down. I have put about 1200 board foot through this unit and it is still cutting as well as, if not better than, my friends three knife brand. The measurements appear accurate and the shavings collector all work well. If I had one issue it would be the placement of the power cord at the front left of unit. A side placement would seem more practical and out of the way. This is a quality planer that looks as if it will last the long haul. I will let you know in a future post about ease of blade replacement and cleaning. Well done Craftsman.

Update: snipe is easy to fix. Make sure the board is being inserted straight. Don't make deep cuts all that once, do smaller passes multiple times to help prevent snipe
5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is AWESOME!Hub's and I set up the new craftsman bench top 15amp planer. Very easy to set up, all we had to do was add the handle and plug it in. We took it for a test drive with a 2x4, 1x3 treated board and a cedar fence. This thing is AWESOME! The wood was nice and smooth.. took the rounded edges off with ease. Love that it can take large boards and it's easy to adjust. My only complaint is that there is a snipe at the end of the wood. It's like the board hopped or something pushed the blade down more when you first insert the wood...🤷♀️ Not sure how to fix that. Guess we need to research how to correct that, but other than that, it works perfectly! This is going to save me so much time and headaches! Time to read the instructions!

3.0 out of 5 stars good engine but some problems
Style: PlanerVerified PurchaseThe machine works well, I am getting a bad idea from Craftsman, and I bought several products in amazon and their packages arrive with some damage, now the machine despite having the protective blue plastic has a large scratch on its base, and it does not stop at That, the small screws (18) are so tight that not even with an electric screwdriver could, I put WD40 to loosen, but I only loosen 7 the other one was tight and with force that damages the screw, now I have a cover that I can not level. can you help me with this.
11. You can't get precision if you can't level, screws too tight if you're not careful you will damage them.
2. It took a long time to level this, they continue with a method from the last century to see if they update that part that is the same cable carrier.
3. I find it expensive for a product that came to me scratched the base and with screws that their tightening was so much that it damaged one. That is why I give it 3 stars and I wait for an answer that we are going to do with the screw or where I get it otherwise I will put 1.
I am fans of the brand but they are already making me change my mind, now I do not know if I buy the Jointer.
