I gave an earlier review on this planer not being so good. I saw a video on this item it was encouraging. But I still only give it 3 stars. It's good enough  to learn with. I use it to prep rough cut lumber for the thickness planer. The problem I had was the adjustment knob is tricky to use and the front plate does not sit square. I turned the inter spring a 1/4 turn and that helped.
