electric planer

guys… i want to buy an electric planer but the depth of the cut are all defferent. one is only up to 1.5 mm and the other is up to 2-3 mm… which one do i need.?? does it have to be hitachi which can cut till 3mm…?? please give me suggestion… thank you very much!!

the deeper the potential cut the better, but it’s more important to get a quality planer with a good action for controlling the depth of the cut. i just bought a Dewalt planer and i like it a lot…take a look at the DW680K.
