    Have to use care to not over cut

    Chips do exit on right side and really pile up

    The depth dial is not easy to understand

    Lastly the provided side guide is too small too short on its shoe compared to the 1434 lenght of the planer base

    This could be solved by purchasing a second guide and making the necessary holes for the rod on the back part of the base and then figuring out how to retain it
