Excellent planer, not quite up to the Germans, but high quality
By Canada Glulam
As background, I am a timber frame / glulam professional, I make my living from big wood. I have a strong preference for Mafell products as they, though expensive, are simply outstanding. I purchased the this planer to work along side our Mafell and here is what I found:- a solid work horse well priced.Biggest drawbacks in comparison are:- Knives. I wish I could buy higher quality replacements. Knives are ok.- Power. Unit is down on power from 240 volt Mafell. Upside, no step up converter required.All in all, a solid, reliable unit that I am happy with, down slight on performance and consumables, but more than made up for in price. Great value in the segment.

By Edward Carson
I own a timber framing company. This is not my 1st planer of this make. If you have wide boards or timbersand don't wish to set up a building and stationary unit, this is the only way to go. Treat it good and it'll treatyou good.

By Oak A Framing
Machine is great everything planed from now on would recommend it to anyone.I would recommend buying a few spare sets of blades though as planing air dried oak can take the edge off very quickly.
