There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

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

The unit will also leave black marks on the work piece I am not sure if it’s from the rollers but it adds to the workload.
