“Planer Model 21759”

I chose this planer based on its features, cost, and "editors choice" in American Woodworker magazine. It was chosen with the Dewalt 735. But the standard features of the Craftsman were expensive options for the Dewalt. Replacement blades are also $20 cheaper for the Craftsman, so Craftsman it was. I... read full review »
