What planers are second to these? Surely there must be guys out there using other planers.
What planers are second to these? Surely there must be guys out there > using other planers…bosch…@ home depot about $135.00 NICE control knob,smooth cut.Herb…oh yea,it’s ready to go for dryvac use the hook-ups are built in and it has a bypass lever so to accomodate right or left hand use.
Anyone advise on how the inexpensive Black and Decker works? Just scouting around at Home Depot, I saw this thing next to the Bosch. It’s a little lighter, but only costs like $60. I’d figure it would work well if you’re just mowing a few blanks here and there. Anyone tried this one?
Never tried it. Picked it up though. Feels week and awkward. I think I would but a cheap Chinese replica of the hitachi from freight tools or on e-bay----though I here those are good for only a while. pay waht you get for I guess.

The only thing is that the adjustment know is not a quick depth adjustment set up like the skil 100. I still can’t get over the fact that uys want over $1000 for skils–as if the planer is the total key to shaping?

It has the round adjustment knob on top and 2 blades. I have done 2 boards with it and I think it does just fine. Maybe if I get to a level where I think it is hampering me I will upgrade to a better one, but for a beginner, I think it works fine. Good luck.
