Problems from the start

Craftsman Professional 13 in. Bench Top Planer — 

I will start off by saying I use a lot of craftsmen products, and love them. This product is not one of those that I like. First off in the opening "feed" area there is a small piece of metal that hangs down from the cutter head right at the opening which can bind up wood. Strange design. I did not like that. If you check at eye level where you feed the wood you will see what I mean. Second the planer struggled thru planing oak and douglas fir. The motor worked very hard to get the boards thru/ Then during the 2nd use of planer one of the upper rollers on the exterior of the machine fell off. The planer did not measure up in terms cutting ability and smoothness of the other machines I have used in the field. Rigid and Dewalt do a lot better in my experience. Though, to Sears' credit, they took the machine back with no restocking fee.
