Black & Decker 750W High Performance Rebating Planer

Bought this after my old planer gave up the ghost. I'm basically a DIYer, so didn't need a real heavy duty product as I only use this occasionally. Firstly I was impressed with how quickly it arrived, and really pleased that it came in a sturdy carrying case to protect everything. I chose this model because it came with everything I'm likely to need included, namely a dust bag, and an easily detachable planning guide. I used it to-day, and was impressed when planing a new door. Excellent smooth finish, and easy to handle. It also comes with a neat little rear foot that prevents the blades from touching the surface when you put it down. It took a little while to get used to retracting it when in use, but after a couple of test runs, it became a simple task. It's cheaper than a lot of other branded tools, but it looks and feels well built, does the job, and saved me money.

Planed several pieces of lumber, but the depth setting is not reliable. Its trial & error when setting deeper cuts closer to the 2 mm limit.

Used this the other day to take some meat off the bottom of a couple of doors which where annoying me so much that my eye balls where drying up every time I tries to open the door, worked great and feels solid, my only gripe is the flap inside the dust shoot could seal a little better as another fellow reviewer commented. The Stanley planer in Argos is exactly the same machine as this one only yellow and obviously labeled as Stanley fatmax and is on sale in there for about £100 so don't be fooled and go for this one... Unless you really like yellow and are willing to pay theextra 40 or 50 quid for it.

A well finished product and value for money, instruction book not with it. and the box is a bit big for the planer.

A good tool. Easy to use. Much better design than my old one where the dust bag method of attachment was dodgy. This dust collector is very good and can be fitted either side. A little bit of dust does escape but it’s minimal. Planer adjustment depth is good and the unit is comfortable to handle. Carry box included. It’s quite large but strong and holds the dust collector etc.
