12 ½ inch Spiral Cutterhead Benchtop Planer - CUTECH 40700H

This planer looks very well built. Won’t be using it until snow is gone next spring. Will let you know how it goes then. Very good shipping and packaged very securely. Thanks, Jim

Works as designed. Spiral cutter head is the way to go. On first use I fed several 8" wide boards of well dried tropical hardwood called Guayacan through & performance was great. Huge difference in sound & power requirements from straight-blade planer of equal of more expensive price.

I have not had this machine very long, but it does a beautiful shop bring old boards back to life. The cut is smooth and even. It’s worth the purchase.

My only fault with this machine is that it does not have a blade/depth stop. I saw a video comparison of this machine to a comparable Wen machine and the author pointed out that the stop on the Cutech was better. I was disappointed the machine I received does not have a blade/depth stop. My experience with the machine so far has been very good.

This planer is excellent, not very noisy. The lowering/raising handle works well, inserts are sharp, long lasting.
