Customer Review:

Hello, I recently purchased a general 13" planer. I felt the need to contact you about, after using it a bit. This is a very nice machine,  that works superbly.  I make my living through woodworking,  so my tools are very important. In the past several years I've owned several benchtop  planers. Dewalt ( with Byrd head), craftsman,  and makita. I took a chance because I didn't want another big box store machine that would disappoint. I'm so glad I now own one of your tools, with more hopefully to come. By the way I've been working very figured cherry and highly figured tiger maple. The planer performance is amazing!  Thanks so much for the quality work, its hard to find. Take care.
