"For planing good doors, etc., where a skill saw is just too much, you will be hard pressed to beat this planer."
"Even the rep at DeWalt was baffled at the fact that this tool does not come with a dust bag AND they continue to make the tool but for some reason no longer make the dust bag."
"Plan to use this to remove old crumbly gelcoat without the uneven surface created by grinding wheels."
"I purchased this Dewalt planer because I did not have the room for a power joiner......it does the job as a hand held power unit."
"(Yeah, I am pretty much old school, but I figured if I carry a power saw it would be good to have a power planer to.)."
"Works great, haven't had to remove the blades yet but can't imagine it being a problem."
"I had the DW677 model of this planer that would adjust to where it didn't cut anything, so it was possible to cut a very small amount."

"I had an old Craftsman planer that I inherrated from my dad & it was loud, didn't always cut straight, would break the rubber belt that drives the blades on really hard wood & I couldn't take it anymore so I purchased the Makita & man, what a difference! Just would be nice to get a bag or vacuum hose attachment to keep chips from flying in your face."

"Sturdy, well made tool with plenty of power."
"Good little planner... wish it had a case and dust collector, and i would have given it 5 stars."

"The board just stuck there with the motor running and I didn't hear any inordinate stresses in the machine, although I shut it off quickly, removed the board and increased the thickness."
"It's really heavy, one of the first things I planed was a little wheely cart to roll it around so I didn't have to carry it."
"I have never used one if these until now and almost went for a cheaper brand but I figured it wa worth the extra money for something I plan to keep for a long time."
"Got it just a couple of days ago."
"Worth twice the price."
"I only wish I could have the option to connect dust collection hose on the other side."
"Cuts sanding time down and every piece of wood is the exact size making projects easier and looking better then just hand sanding."
