Craftsman 12 amp 12-1/2" Bench Planer (21758) —
I've had this unit for a couple months now and am very happy with it.
I've been working with maple, mahogany and a little cocobolo rosewood and it hasn't missed a beat.
Minimal if any snipe and plenty of power, makes it a very good value.
I only gave it 4 stars on reliability and durability because I have not had it long enough to really tell how well it will hold up.
It seems to be built well, so I'm expecting it will hang in there for a long time.
