Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The makita planer has tons of power and the largest dust port of any electric planer. The lift up side cover on it also allows you to get in close to an edge. The new way allows for a less obstructed exit of chips.



Cons

The front adjustable shoe is neither parallel nor square with the back plate. Well, i'm not convinced or impressed.

    One has to manually remove a plastic plug from one side and place in opposite side to change direction of discharge

    My irritation soon changed to delight when i realized why the engineers made this change

    When i do doors it can fall away and come out stopping one clean straight run

    I hate to sand on it though because the planed surfaces are so much smoother than stock
