Your review is so much more detailed and helpful than any advertisement. I wish Vevor would send you every tool they make so you can do the research work for us :)
Awesome explanation and review. I have the same planer and have had it for a few months. What I do with it is relatively lite work but so far it is an excellent machine. Only tripped the breaker once as I cranked the hand crank to low while it was planing by accident. For some one like me getting into wood working machines like that are excellent!
We had a 240 volt 18 inch high end planer in the early 80's that cost 5 grand and when the local lumber yard caught wind they gave us loads of wood and paid for the dies and made trim they were low on like base board, chair rail etc. and bought it back by the foot. It paid for the planer in 2 weeks and continued use for our custom cabinet shop.
I always wanted a planer, so I got a "new to me" Dewalt off FB MP last year. Love it. I chainsaw mill cedar and pecan and then run it through the planer to make boards for projects. I've taken a round old cedar log and run it through the planer to make a 4x4 before!! Have fun with it.
I've had a planer for about 6 years now. I'll never NOT have one again. The chips are perfect for quick breakdown in the compost pile or put straight in the garden.
Andrew i think i’ve been subscribed since about 2k subs, i want to start of by saying how i’ve always enjoyed your videos, they’ve always been great quality and easy to watch, the video and sound quality especially now is fantastic and you’re a natural presenter, keep the videos coming
Bandsaw, Planer and jointer made my DIY a success. I got a load of rough quarter sewn 4/4 white oak and made some beautiful projects with it. The sewing machine cabinet I made for my wife is my favorite (up until she wants me to move it). Thanks for the review. That is a great price especially this day and age. Whenever you have to replace and calibrate the new blades, I'd love to see a video on that process. I have to rotate and replane to compensate for the notch a nail took out of my current blades.
Hi, Andrew! That planer makes quick work with the oak and the pine. I bet you wish you had it sooner. Loved the video. I am eager to see the door installation video. The picture of the doors is awesome. Beautiful doors.
That machine looks exactly like the one I have, except it did not come with extra blades or a stand. But then I did buy mine some 20 years ago. what you may have missed is the two rollers on top of the machine. It is designed for two person operation. Once the wood passes through, it is lifted and passed back to the start via the two rollers on top of the machine. Good design for a cheap machine for the home owner.
Planers are a great tool for a woodworker. You can save a lot by buying rough cut boards and make any thickness you want/need. Good choice on tongue and groove for the porch roof! It will look beautiful!
Thanks for the review, I was about to ask a question about cupping/snipe before you covered it for me. My 25-year-old Harbor Freight planer does have some snipe that I have not been able to completely get rid of, so I'm impressed with your results. Nice machine for the price. 👍
I can't expect those types of features with something in this price range, but that does sound like a great idea. Any idea how much those sprial blades run? I bet they are not cheap.
Please watch the video below, I use it and I provide a link in the description for it. They have a killer sale going on right now now, the planer is heavily discounted. th-cam.com/video/gpvJlsdi2qI/w-d-xo.html
Great review Andrew. I think a plainer is a nice tool to have. The one your reviewing looks pretty nice. Your going to be doing trim and building some furniture, I would say this tool is an asset to have. 🇨🇦
I was looking at this planer with enthusiast interest...... Then you made me choke when you said $287. I'm in rip off England $430! I'm trying to get my small shop back up and running after a roof disaster but here the prices of power tools are ridiculous by comparison. Thanks for the video review, really appreciated. P.S. I think that's a wonderful machine, can't think why anyone would want a yellow on😉
I have a three blade Dewalt that I've had for about ten years. I've never been really happy with it but it works. My plainer would have triped the breaker going through that oak. With new blades with eight inch pine I can only do half cranks on the depth or it's a long day.
If everything is adjusted properly and you're still having problems with snipe, there's a way to get around having to cut off the snipe from your boards. Grab two sacrificial boards around 18 inches long and around the same thickness as your tongue and groove, feed the sacrificial board first, butt up your tongue and groove boards one after another and then run another sacrificial board last. All the snipe will be on the two sacrificial boards and you can maintain all the length you need on your tongue and groove. Good luck, you're doing a damn fine job.
Electric planners are fantastic. Especially if you start milling wood. The mill comes out very rough and is almost unusable until it’s resurfaced, a planer is a great way, you can set it to get consistent thicknesses and if your blade on your planer is in decent shape your finish is going to be usable you won’t even have to sand most of the time. It may not be perfect but if you were building a shed or a dog house or a workbench or anything like that the planer finish is going to be awesome and it can take stain and finishes without the sanding so unless you’re doing fine furniture or very finished work it’s enough and illuminates the need for sanding. Are used to work for a decking company and we were always tearing down decks and they would just take the old wooden plane it and use it for all kinds of projects and it’s great for recycling wood. Just take old rough would run it through the plane or a couple times and you’ve got a good piece of wood to start your project. A planer is a very simple machine and shouldn’t really be expensive. You need a good spinning blade system that clamps the blades well and a good strong motor. The rest is incredibly simple machinery and there’s no reason for it to be $500 or $700. Once it’s working, and this one obviously does then it’s just a matter of a test of time to see how the motor and blade assembly holds up. I love the simple machinery, especially in older milling and metal work, it was just built to last it never goes bad you just replace consumables and it’s nice to have laser options for measurement and features but they’re not really critical there’s nothing you can do with them that the old machines won’t. A planer is a very simple machine and if it’s built well to last there’s no reason for it to be incredibly expensive. This looks like a good one so far and you will obviously use it a lot, it’ll be interesting to see how it holds up.
You're an excellent presenter. Just a video hint. When you're shooting in front of that door to the outside, get a big piece of white material to reflect light onto you. You were kind of in the shadows. But wow, what an excellent review.
I love that you planed a thick, wide piece to test it's capabilities. The only thing I would have done differently is check both sides with dial calipers to check the evenness of the cut from one side to the other but that's minor and I am probably more fussy then most.
@@TKCL are the knives double sided and easy to remove and install? I was just wondering because I plane alot of woods with silicates, that have a dulling effect on HHS knives......woods like teak and ash so I have to change the knives often.
I honestly can't remember if they were double-sided or single. I'll have to go dig my spare set out. What's crazy is I've done a tremendous amount of planing, and I'm still on the original blades.
Andrew at around 4:00 into the video you said the tables were a little out of level and you adjusted to level. One way of getting rid of snipe at times is to raise the feed tables up on the outside edge which is what it sounded like it was delivered. I didn't think you were getting any snipe as you can normally hear it when the planer snipes the material. You definitely don't want to have debris on the lumber as it will nick the blades and now you get marks in the material. Nice little planer they sent you. You deserve it..
Nice planer I have a Porter Cable planer, the best thing i did with mine was rolled a wheelbarrow in back to catch ll the saw dust, the board will go right over the wheelbarrow
Nice work and looks pretty good for the price. I would make a slight correction to your statement that a thickness planer can remove twist and bows. It CAN do that, but only with a known flat surface under the board you are trying to plane. Simply running a warped or twisted board through will frequently maintain the twist and sometime even add to it as you start to expose the wetter, inner wood and release internal stresses.
That's exactly what I was referring to. I've seen it done, take a twisted board and place it on a flat board. Shim underneath it and screw to the flat board. Run through making one side flat. Remove the shims and other board, flip over to flat side and run it through. A lot of work, but if you have a nice piece you want to save it's possible.
@@TKCL Trick to cutting out a lot of work would be to get yourself a jointer. :-) I get rough cut wood to make my furniture and would be lost without it. Mebbe Vevor would send you one too. LOL Great video - as usual!!!
Any company that is confident in the quality of their product will certainly get most thorough and honest review on your channel:))) I hope that nasty weather they're talking about in the news isn't close to you!
I had a nice frigid a little while ago believe it was a 6x12, I did the math, it hit the material over nine times per 1/16 of an inch feed making a very smooth finish
it's like you're oscillating tool, once you have one you cannot live without it. There's No Limit what you can do, get a good router table and some bits you'll love it😍
I see a piece of equipment like this and I'll say to myself , I'll never use something like that, and a need comes up sometime in the future! I do like your gift of gab. I wish I had it in all seriousness. Great job gotta go get that cathead biscuit 🍪😉
Hey guy. I have the very same model and its worked great so far BUT......i tan a lot of walnut threw it . And now i qent to use it and something is built up in the motor preventing it from spinning . I dont want the motor to burn up . Can you do a video servicing the motor compartment . Ive lost my lil book on it and it really doesn't show you how to take apart the housing . Thanks in advance . I got suckered on amazon fir 400 for mine ....shame .
like the planner. now you can make a table top for outside and chopping board. maybe kelly's sign for ouside. be bless and love from up above from JESUS. SAVANNAH TN.
I was just wondering how many amps you were drawing when you put that big piece of wood in. It didn't seem to bog down the motor. It cut into that log pretty good if that wood is a little wet? seems to me its a Beast of a planer. Money well spent! 👏👍
Great video: very informative. I'm curious about something you said when you milled the large piece. You stated, it had rotten knots that were wet and not a good idea to use. I have a piece of driftwood and I'm wondering if I can't use it now because it may just have these rot spots. I only want to use it for making epoxy+wood serving trays though. Can I still run it through or will it ruin the planer or blade? Many thanks!
lol that's the very first thing I saw with that planar, I was like...that seems kind of short, maybe I should suggest that he raise the height so his back don't get messed up from repetitive motions with his back at a bad angle. Btw, since you seem to like to work on stuff on your own and you have the shop space, one of the ways that I see a lot of DIY people save money is to get those old industrial tools and repair them. Give like Abom79 and Steve Sommers for example have series on repairing and refurbing those old machines.
Nice review Andrew. Never heard of this brand. Will have to check them out. Glad you talked about snipe that was my first question. It looked good on video. Second question are the blades double sided? So when one side gets dull or chiped you can flip it over and use the other edge.
I would recommend you watch the video with the volume turned on and you will hear him talk about the dust collection options with it at the very beginning of the video.
Andrew this is just a thought. Jeff Barron Southern Alabama dose a lot of milling on his own property. He is on You Tube with his daughter Hanna. I was wondering if he might be a contact for the wood for your porch area at a better price. 🇨🇦
They are a huge company that's been around a long time. They are best known for their ice makers and other appliances. They literally have thousands of items on their website. I own quite a few of their products.
@@TKCL I have been working my way off of disability by learning silver and gold smithing. They have 2 tools I need that I can't afford anywhere else at a very reasonable price and so im totally considering them
@@TKCL see thats what's important. I've come q long way with hand held propane torches, harbor frieght stuff, and hard work. If the thing will work, I will do the rest. I can go from there
If you do buy a dewalt, i would suggest spending the extra 100 on the nicer one .if you are spending 500, why not spend the extra 100 on a lot nicer and more capable tool 👍
That's why I got the 12.5 inch version, comes with spare blades and they are available on Amazon under different manufactures names. These are very popular, Mophorn makes an identical model, try searching that brand for 12 inch spare blades on Amazon and Ebay.
Negative, you place the twisted board on a straight board and shim it level. After working one side through and getting the uneveness out, take off the shims and board, flip to the other side and run through. You absolutely can work the twist out of a board, but the cost is it comes at reducing thickness.
It's a complete toy and breaks easily. If you plane anything denser than cardboard stay away. Also if you get problems they make it really difficult. It worked fine maybe half an hour to one hour altogether.
Wow that's so far from my experience, I've used mine heavily for a couple of years building all kinds of things shown on the channel. Not one single issue. Sorry to hear yours gave you a problem.
I've had nothing but amazing results from Dewalt for the last 20 years. Including using them daily professionally for almost 7 1/2 years. No experience with Ryobi.

Nice review Andrew. Never heard of this brand. Will have to check them out. Glad you talked about snipe that was my first question. It looked good on video. Second question are the blades double sided? So when one side gets dull or chiped you can flip it over and use the other edge.
No the blades are single sided, but also only $25 for a set.
I like it! Thanks for the review!!!
Thank you for watching
I'm sure this machine would make some awesome butcher blocks and then use your Lazer engraving tool 🤔🤔🧐🧐 I see some special merch in the future 🤷🏽♂️
Oh yeah!
@@TKCL yes sir 😁
Great info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Andrew, you have a brand new toy! Wish you would have had it sooner!
Me too! Would have saved me hours of work.
Looks great, but I would set it up with some kind of collector for the saw dust. Maybe you can use the saw dust around your place somewhere. God Bless
I would recommend you watch the video with the volume turned on and you will hear him talk about the dust collection options with it at the very beginning of the video.
@@thomasduin351 Thank you and God Bless
Andrew this is just a thought. Jeff Barron Southern Alabama dose a lot of milling on his own property. He is on You Tube with his daughter Hanna. I was wondering if he might be a contact for the wood for your porch area at a better price. 🇨🇦
I am familiar with both of them, my kind of people!
I need one of these, but 15" wide
13 inch is the largest they make.
From what I have been told by friends with these you need to invest in some carbide blades if you plan to run a lot of boards through it
I don't plan to run a lot, just the occasional pieces for furniture, shelving or to clean up.
Can you put the saw dust in your garden soil? Or the compost pile?
Most types yes I can
So it sounds like these people are a legit company then
They are a huge company that's been around a long time. They are best known for their ice makers and other appliances. They literally have thousands of items on their website. I own quite a few of their products.
@@TKCL I have been working my way off of disability by learning silver and gold smithing. They have 2 tools I need that I can't afford anywhere else at a very reasonable price and so im totally considering them
I'll be honest, their stuff isn't high end. With that said, I have not had anything break.
@@TKCL see thats what's important. I've come q long way with hand held propane torches, harbor frieght stuff, and hard work. If the thing will work, I will do the rest. I can go from there
How long should i run it a a time not to over heat
Not sure, this isn't a heavy duty industrial machine. I've ran for 30+ minutes at a time.
Where can I find parts for this
New motor
No idea
Outdoor kitchen material?
It's on my mind!
If you do buy a dewalt, i would suggest spending the extra 100 on the nicer one .if you are spending 500, why not spend the extra 100 on a lot nicer and more capable tool 👍
Cześć. Gdzie kupić tą przystawkę do odprowadzania trocin ?
It came with the planer
Chodzi mi o tą co wstawiłeś zamiast oryginalnej. Oryginalna zapycha się
Doing the wood outside--love it !!!
Try finding new blades for this equipment. I have a Vevor 12 inch and can't find blades for it. Customer service was no help.
That's why I got the 12.5 inch version, comes with spare blades and they are available on Amazon under different manufactures names. These are very popular, Mophorn makes an identical model, try searching that brand for 12 inch spare blades on Amazon and Ebay.
FYI - Twisted in twisted out !!
Negative, you place the twisted board on a straight board and shim it level. After working one side through and getting the uneveness out, take off the shims and board, flip to the other side and run through. You absolutely can work the twist out of a board, but the cost is it comes at reducing thickness.
You should review a grapple, I think that would be ok wink wink!
Yeah I am impatiently waiting to review one 😬😬😬
It's a complete toy and breaks easily. If you plane anything denser than cardboard stay away. Also if you get problems they make it really difficult. It worked fine maybe half an hour to one hour altogether.
Wow that's so far from my experience, I've used mine heavily for a couple of years building all kinds of things shown on the channel. Not one single issue. Sorry to hear yours gave you a problem.
Both Ryobi and Dewalt anything is banned from my shop.
I've had nothing but amazing results from Dewalt for the last 20 years. Including using them daily professionally for almost 7 1/2 years. No experience with Ryobi.
What the hell do you need a battery for a caliper for lol??? A good old trusty analog dial indicator is NOT hard to read.... and WAAAAAY more accurate
