Customer Review: This little planer delivers big time performance.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this planer for over 3 years now, and it has been a great tool. I have had absolutely no surprises or failures with this machine. Adjustments are easy, the surfaces are perfect, and the unit is constructed solidly. I am very glad I bought this machine, because I love using it, and I keep finding things to use it for. For cleaning up pieces quickly or removing material when doing remodel work, alterations or funky projects, it has proved invaluable. I have made a mountain of wood shavings with this baby, and it has proven to be tough and a true performer.
The only thing I would say may be an issue is the side cover. I have seen it break on other planers of the same model. This breakage occurred from falling off a workbench onto a concrete floor, landing on the cover. Certainly not the planer's fault. I am not sure what Makita can do about this issue. I suspect it is better to replace a cracked cover than to risk having a dented metal cover contact and foul up the mechanical internal parts it is supposed to protect. The best remedy would be to not drop your tools from any height onto concrete. I am sure it says this in the manual someplace.
This machine performs flawlessly. I have used it to plane crooked doors, straighten lumber, remove excess material from a host of materials in many different applications. I have used the unit to correct measurement mistakes and "adjust" features on work pieces and other projects. I work a lot with scrap, recycled, and found lumber, and have never lived in a house that was square anywhere. This planer has helped me fine tune constructed pieces to fit in the weird places they need to. I used to have problems getting straight cuts and joints, and I used the planer to clean them up (I am a lot better at this now, thanks to some tips, practice and better tools).
I most recently I used the machine to straighten a 14 foot 6x6 post for use in building a loft in my shop. I got the post at a local lumber mill for pennies on the dollar because it was crooked and a little corkscrewed. With a little time and a little artistry, I got the thing straight enough to use as a support post. Not bad for a modest little 3 1/4" hand planer! I regularly use the machine in its deepest depth setting, and it is always more than capable of cutting without bogging.
I have never had any problems with this unit, and highly recommend it. I can also attest to having witnessed this machine in use at many professional jobsites and in many shops. I've never heard anything but praise for the little Makita planer. It is versatile, well priced, and dependable. I do not anticipate having to purchase another unless this one is stolen. I use it occasionally, so I am confident it will last me forever. That said, I would not hesitate to buy this unit again. I am considering buying a larger unit to do different tasks, but will keep this one handy. It is the best at what it does, and I have found it capable of doing way more than I anticipated.
A true pleasure to use, and a great buy at the price. This is a great tool.
