Craftsman Professional 1-1/2 hp 6-1/8&#34Jointer/Planer (21705) —

I have used in for about 3 ~ 4 years to build various things. As a planer, it does a decent job for a narrower lumber. It is not a good idea to use it to plane wider board though. It is more of a jointer, rather than a thickness planer. As a jointer, it does excellent job. Its price is just right. Compared to JET or Delta, this is a pretty good deal. If you want to plane wider board, buy a thinckness planer. Don't complain about this tool as a bad planer. There is no infeed / outfeed rollers. Your hands are the feeder / thickness setter. If you feed a long lunber, use supporting roller stands, for your own safety and not to damage the tool.
