Review Summary

This planer by Rockwell is not available on their website, you have to call them to see if they have any more in stock, or check places online. Nobody seems to offer replacement blades. This 12 ½” planer does an OK job. It is a heavy sucker, so I don’t relish moving it often. It does come with it’s own stand. Just keep in mind to check all nuts, bolts, and screws before every use. It seems I am always finding something lose on it. You can plane down to 1/8” without a supplemental bed.

…

The blades are double-sided and are relatively easy to change. Mine did not come with a hookup for a dust collector and I had to make one. If you don’t have one, make sure you use it outside. And like almost all straight-edged planers it is very loud, use hearing protection when using it.
