Be prepared to level in-feed and out-feed!
Upon removing the protective blue plastic from the feed table a 2' gouge into the metal plate showed up (but wasn't visible through the heavy blue plastic. I could feel the gouge/scratch so I smoothed it using some fine compound to prevent it scraping my expensive wood. See uploaded photo of the scratch on the base plate.Both the in-feed and out-feed tables needed adjustments to make them level with the central table? The problem with this is that the small black Phillips adjusting bolts had been over tightened at the factory? One of them stripped without loosening. Fortunately, I was able to force the table into proper alignment once the other three were loosened.BTW both of these in/out-feed tables are the stamped metal kind. I plan to replace them, eventually but for now, once adjusted, they work.The snipe is minimal ... about a 64th inch for the first and last couple of inches, as expected.Over all, this Craftsman thickness planer does the job at a fair price provided that you can adjust it. There are many videos available on YouTube to show you how to do this.My 69 year old lower back is aching, today ... because this is a clunky shaped, 61 pound machine! I've mounted it on an old, Craftsman stand that I already had. Today I will add some casters to the base so that I won't have to lift it up to move it.You will need a vortex style dust collection system tor the chips it will produce, even on small boards because I don't think a shop vac alone could handle the quantity of chips that this produces.All of that said and done, you do get what you paid for! I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Built a screened in porch for my wife and needed to plane the trim I made on the sawmill. After borrowing a friend's much heavier planer and wrestling with it for hours I decided to buy one of my own. I have always found Craftsman hand tools to be quality products so after reviewing I decided to go with this one. I have to say so far I am very pleased. The unit is heavy enough to stay put when used but light enough not to break my back moving it. The four holes in the base also give you a easy point to bolt the unit down. I have put about 1200 board foot through this unit and it is still cutting as well as, if not better than, my friends three knife brand. The measurements appear accurate and the shavings collector all work well. If I had one issue it would be the placement of the power cord at the front left of unit. A side placement would seem more practical and out of the way. This is a quality planer that looks as if it will last the long haul. I will let you know in a future post about ease of blade replacement and cleaning. Well done Craftsman.

Hub's and I set up the new craftsman bench top 15amp planer. Very easy to set up, all we had to do was add the handle and plug it in. We took it for a test drive with a 2x4, 1x3 treated board and a cedar fence. This thing is AWESOME! The wood was nice and smooth.. took the rounded edges off with ease. Love that it can take large boards and it's easy to adjust. My only complaint is that there is a snipe at the end of the wood. It's like the board hopped or something pushed the blade down more when you first insert the wood...🤷♀️ Not sure how to fix that. Guess we need to research how to correct that, but other than that, it works perfectly! This is going to save me so much time and headaches! Time to read the instructions!
Update: snipe is easy to fix. Make sure the board is being inserted straight. Don't make deep cuts all that once, do smaller passes multiple times to help prevent snipe
