DeWalt DW733 12-1/2" Portable Thickness Planer, Including an Extra Set of Knives and Dust Hood, an $84.98 Value
from DeWalt.
This is the first portable planer I have used and it rivals the big stationary shop planers. Have used it on oak, maple, cedar and pine and the only problem I had was minor chipping around knots in the cedar, but I don't know that this wouldn't happen with other machines, cedar is pretty brittle....

Delta 22-680K 15" Planer with Stand and Extension Rollers includes 50-324 Mobile Base and Dust Hood a $119.98 Value
from Delta.
I ordered my Delta 22-680K Planer from Amazon.com on Friday and it was in my garage the following Wednesday. Can't beat that. The planer, mobile cart, and stand came on one pallet. All items were in perfect condition. I built the stand on the mobile cart. The instructions say that the bolts in the...
JET JPM-13CS / 708524 13" Planer/Molder with Enclosed Stand
from JET.
I purchased this machine as an upgrade in my shop from a bench type planer. Initially, I thought I would like to buy a larger planer, but have found the thirteen inch capacity to be more than sufficient for my needs. The machine planes efficiently, and thickness settings are accurate upon initial...
Delta TP300 Shopmaster 12" Portable Planer
from Delta.
This little planer certainly exceed my expectations. I was used to a freestanding grizzley 24" planer untill I moved into a smaller location. I bought this for light duty planing, but was surprised at its power. It is easy to change the blades.
I highly reccommend this for someone with limited...
Delta 22-580K 13" Two-Speed Finishing Planer Includes Dust Hood a $24.99 Value
from Delta.
I just got the planer in September. The cutterhead was adjusted extremely well out of the box - I couldn't detect more than .001 difference from one side to the other. After trying a few test pieces, I put 1/2 of a glued-up benchtop through it - 5 feet long and 2 inch thick maple. The finish was...
Delta 23-715 Planer Knife Adapter for 23-710 Sharpening Center
from Delta.
the only problem i had with this adapter is that the instructions in the manual for leveling it with the stones are incorrect. the set screws for the mounting bar go into a groove in it, so you can't rotate it. but, i simply spun the mounting bar so i DON'T hit the groove, and it's fine now. i'm not...

Keeps the dust and rust away, what can a man say?
Delta 50-277 Mobile Machine Base for 10" Contractor's Saw, 13" and 15" Planers, Straight Leg Stand
from Delta.
Beautifully designed, simple to set up, this mobile base is strong and maneuvers nicely. Had I known how great this is and the mobility it provides, I would have ordered it years ago.
Took less than 5 minutes to assemble, (one bolt) then was able to tilt my HEAVY saw (without assistance) to place...

Porter-Cable 9125 3-1/4" Power Plane Kit
from Porter-Cable.
A must for interior and exterior slab door replacement. Most competitors' planers tend to slow and 'bog' down when using maximum cutting depth -- especially with hardwoods. This is my second PC Planer for home shop use. Like most other Porter-Cable power tools, this on is unparalled. Sorry DeWalt...
DeWalt DW7332 High-Speed Steel Knives
from DeWalt.
If you wanna cut something, this is kinda kool! Expensive a bit, but just a little bit (like mine after it touched the blade) I should have sharpened them myself with a big mac since the meat is so tough so it can sharpen the blade. Hasta la vista! Buanaserrata, bonsoir Have a good...
Bosch 3365 3-1/4" Power Planer--with Extra Set of Carbide Blades a $14.99 Value
from Bosch.
I wasn't sure how many stars to give this since I have never used it. I ordered it and when it arrived I discovered that it is a one-bladed model. Bosch calls this an "electronically counterbalanced single-blade design." From the other reviews this seems to work well, however, I wish that the...
Porter-Cable 9118 Porta-Plane Kit
from Porter-Cable.
My wife bought me this machine 25 years ago. I still have the plane, and the wife. It is (the plane) a sweet machine. It is primarily for resizing doors, but I have used it for a jointer of sorts with good success. If you are a door man/person (sorry) its the one for you. I assume it still comes...
Delta 50-445 4" Dust Collector Chute (For Model 22-560)
from Delta.
It took me about five minutes to put this on my planer. It gets about 99% of the dust and I'm using a 6hp, 18.6 gallon shop vac. A hint for you if you plan on using a shop vac with this. You will need a 4 - 2 1/4 reducer. This will fit your shop vac just fine, all you need is a 2 1/2 splice and I...

This planer is excellent. It requires virtually no set-up or calibration. It is practically ready to go out of the box. The performance is is outstanding and it is easy to use.
HTC HTC1000 Universal Mobile Base
from HTC.
I recently purchased this mobile base and I must say that for the price it can't be beat. The base is well built, easy to put together and performs as advertised. I was ready to buy craftsmans version ...untill I found this one. From what I've seen they appear to be the same except for the price. I...
HTC TS-9112 Tool Saver Jumbo Machine Cover (72" x 112")
from HTC.
I used to use tarps in my old workshop, but they would hold moisture in, so I had to resort to keeping a layer of talcum powder on the surfaces of the tools to absorb some of the moisture away. As I live in the South Jersey Pinelands, where it has been getting very humid lately, the moisture...

DeWalt DW6656 Planer Dust Bag (for DW677K, DW680K, DW678K)
from DeWalt.
DeWalt Planers do an excellent job but they do spit out a mess. If you are building a house or in a workshop it is really not a problem but if you are just planing a door, instead of rehanging it, in a finished house wood chips will go all over and make a huge mess. This dust bag catches all the...
DeWalt DW7331 Dust Hood for use with Dust Collection System
from DeWalt.
You must connect a 733 to a dust collection system. This hood is extremely efficient and the 733 is the best. I've not bothered to permanently attach the hood, it slips on easily and stays in place during operation. I also have experienced some pitting as others have, but only on soft woods when I...
Delta 22-562 12-1/2" Steel Knife for 22-560 Planer
from Delta.
I have been running the same set of blades in my Delta 22-560 Planer for over a year. I use them to plane quarter-sawn white oak and have done about 1500 board feet. The blades are still sharp. I have not yet felt a need to flip them. I did remove them once to see how hard it would be. The locator...
HTC TS-9056 Tool Saver Machine Cover, Medium (36" x 56")
from HTC.
Tarps kept in moisture and caused rust on my machinery. Plastic sheets fell off every time I turned on the air cleaner. So I tried one of these Tool Saver covers and quickly bought more for all my shop tools. They are substantial enough to stay put (with magnets in the corners that secure it to your...
