Great beam planer July 24, 2002
Norman H. Salesky (US Virgin Islands)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have used this planer to trim down pressure treated rafters to match older beams when doing roof repairs after Hurricanes. The unit is heavy but very easily controlled. Plenty of power and precise adjustment make this a great tool when you need the extra width but can't use a stationary planer!
Big Hand Planer For Big Jobs January 11, 2001
Wyn D Laidig (Mishawaka, IN USA)

This was expensive, but it really does the job. It was a lot bigger than I imagined, and is heavy too, but is easy to control and the depth adjustment is very presice. I use it to plane down wide table tops, made of boards that is glued together. It works great. The trick is to take very small bites with each cut. Then you can just move the planer back and forth leaving it rest on the wood. If you try to lift it up after each cut you'll wear out your arms. I go cross-grain first to take out the warp and width differences, then with the grain for the final finish. The results are very good -- hardly any sanding is needed. I ordered an additional set of blades for $31 from a local dealer since they weren't availalbe from Amazon.
