Craftsman Professional 13 in. Bench Top Planer —

I have had my third Dewalt DW735 Breakdown. With the hassle of credit card returns I exchanged the broken Dewalt for this model. The single speed,two blade cutter head does require sanding. The snipe is better than expected and the locking cutter head is a plus. The included dust collection is an odd set up, I do not like. this unit works well with my current dust collection setup. The auto cutter head adjustment would be better if it worked with the unit being plugged in and not having to be turned on. The power cord and dust collection outlet being on the left and right makes it a challange to manuver around the machine as its running, they should be on the same side. I wish Sears would have exchanged the dewalt for there two speed, three blade cutter head model but was told that was catalog/internet only.
