Guys.... used Dewalt 733 planer. $200 and not far from my house. This is a 12-1/2" planer and I believe on this model the knives are sharpenable.... not disposable like the 734. Looks to be in decent shape and lightly used. I don't own a planer and this would be my first. Is this a good unit for a good price? Or should I pass? I wasn't really in the market, but this just struck me as being a pretty low price for this planer. Right or wrong? Of course I'd give it a little closer inspection, but .... suggestions what to look for? | ||

Hi reikimaster Get your money out of your pocket and get back down to it,,, that's about 1/2 the going price of a new one.. Look at the paint under and by the blades this will give you a hint how much time it has on it.. If the paint looks new, put your money in his hands and say thank you and be on your way,,,they don't last long at that price....

I've never used a power planer, do they handle the same as a regular plane? | ||

Hi vapochilled If you are talking about a Stanley type Hand Planer and a Makita type 3-1/4-Inch Hand-Held Planer = NO, many door installers use them because they are quick to remove stock, but most users can mess up the stock real quick with them.  it takes a very fine touch to use them..the right way.But that's just my 2 cents.. ================ Quote:

Vapochilled, the power hand planes take a delicate hand to use. It is very easy to remove more wood than you want to. The planer in this thread is something different, a machine that will match one side of a board to the other. Most of these machines are able to handle a board 12-1/2" wide. To get truely square wood you must first clean up one side on a joiner. (Sometimes called a jointer) After you have a "true" side you run your wood through a planer and it gives you a top and bottom side that are perfectly even. If you do not use the joiner first you will end up with wood that measures the same thickness but it can look like a roller coaster. Power hand planers are seldom used by home woodworkers. Rough carpenters and door installers would be the likely users.
