I don’t recommend buying a highly expensive and professional model if it is your first-hand planer. Instead, you need to focus on the depth you can cut with the planer and the simplicity of use. Read the manual on safety measures in advance. The motor also must be taken into consideration since you don’t want to get stuck in the middle of your work. If you need Kickstarter, search for the specific models. Pay attention to the speed and whether the model has a cord. Think about features you may need. Make sure that the brand is reliable and the blades are sharp.
