Customer Reviews
I had a grizzly g1021z planer with idexible head I had to downsize shop and sold it. Well when I moved god my shop back up I did heavy research and I chose this 13 planer. The best decision I made, this machine
Cuts as good as my 15 inch grizzly did. I put a wixey digital reader on it for accuracy. Very little snip and you do not need a head lock it cuts great every time better then other big machines
I have only had this planer for a couple weeks now, but so far have been very impressed. The finish really is as everyone says a "mirror finish" and will require much less sanding. Mill marks are almost non existant. I have had a bit of a problem with the board getting stuck, but I havent tried waxing it yet, which I have read will fix that problem. All together this planer has proven all my doubts wrong. I would recommend this to everyone.
I've only run a few boards through it so far but it works perfectly. You can't get a spiral head planer for this price. Everything was square out of the box - no adjustments needed. Definitely worth the price.
Thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of our FB131H benchtop wood thickness planer. Thank you for choosing FindBuyTool.
They shipped the planer quickly. It was damaged in rout, like so many items these days. The packaging was very sturdy but the box was dropped enough to damage some big strong bolts. They were quick to validate my claim and send out a new machine. The new planer was perfect and works great. It was easy to setup. I had not heard of this company before but they seem to be in the business of making their customers happy.
For many years I used a Dewalt 13” surface planer, which I lugged from the cellar to the outdoors, because of the noise (the Dewalt is a screamer) and the dust. Tired of lugging that beast up & down steep stairs, I gave it away to a friend. Findbuytool FB131H is probably 30 pounds lighter and much quieter (yes, I know it’s a single speed). even though it’s considerably lighter, it doesn’t dance around the stand that I rest it on when it’s being used. There’s some sniping, but that’s to be expected. I’ve planed yellow pine & white ash; both woods were satisfactorily planed.
After extensive looking at reviews of different planers, I choose this planer
No set up required. ready to use out of the box. Only setup I did was to fasten it to my stand and add the
dust collector.
The extension tabe support is very good with an extension on the hinge that rests against the frame
As other reviewers have stated, I did not see any snipe on the boards I planed.
Works well and is quieter than most
Rapid delivery of product. Easy to set up. I found a red oak plank left over from a project I did right after I got married in1979. The planer never slowed when I ran that hard hard oak through it.
