Well worth the investment, solid tool:

I'd have to give it 4.5 stars, it's worth more than 4 stars so I had to give it 5.

Eats Wood!:

I looked at all the planers. I was going to buy a planer with AMPS being my first concern. With a 3.4 amp motor this planer did not fail once.

With a longer shoe or base this would get 5 stars. At this price you cannot go wrong. Blades are a snap to change, and sharpen. This is a nice machine.
