I really like this planer because the blade changes are simple. It's a quality planer.

First I like the way this Mikita planner works for me it is simple does what it is supposed to do. A friend has Dewalt it is OK for him because he just turns bowls. When I was looking for a planner I did not see Steel City Tool Works 40200H 13. From an engineering stand point I think the helical cutting head has advantages.Good luck!

I opped for the Mikita after reading a review posted by a banjo maker who planed hard maple ( banjo necks ) . I know a couple guys who make insterments and it is a precise art and I knew if it suited them it would be fine for me . It is well suited for small to medium jobs not churning out hundreds of board feet . I've planed about 600 ft of quartered white oak and its AWSOME ! Pluse some precise patch work for antique repair . Very happy with the Mikita unit

This is the best portable planer on the market. And the price reflects that. But this is a solid planer and will serve you well. Get the dust hood from HomeDepot.com it is 20 dollars cheaper than Amazon.

I wouldn't suggest u to get this one brandon. Spend the extra money and get a liquid cooled 4stroke . It is about 150 more but totally worth it have no complaints. I bought the cheap two stroke first and it is total garbage . Seriously do not waste your time with thetwo strokes.

From a quick search:The SteelCity 40200H (the current version) is a 2 screw, helix head, 26fpm, single speed machine. The SteelCity 40300H is a _4_ screw, helix head, 26 fpm, single speed machine. (the helix head is worth about $200) The price listed at ... Planer Helical Head | Woodworking Equipment & Machinery puts the 40200H at $100 more than the 40300H for half the machine. Same head, same speed, two screws vs 4 for the 40300H. The 40200H has column lock as an attempt to overcome snipe.

The 983H is not worth it on that set. You'd be getting 980H performance if you used it with component.The 980H is the appropriate unit for you.

Yes, it is a fabulous buy and a fantastic machine. Would not trade mine for anything and have never had any problems with it.Hope this helps you in your decision. D

from the basics of what I understand o-1 has been around a long time and is used in machines as shear blades etc. I'm not sure about the corrosion resistance,I believe it's still a high carbon steel. sk-5 is basically the japanese version of 1095 american steel I think. I've seen some not so good reviews about the san mai that it chips and dulls more easily which would be par for the course of stainless steels they don't maintain an edge as well so your sharpening them more,but if corrosion protection is a priority that may be your best bet. if it were me I would get the 0-1 tool steel one and get a can of dura coat spray kit for your corrosion protection you can always spray on more if it wears off. I believe the o-1 is only available through cold steel for now some distributors may have them not sure yet if they have filtered down,their not on amazon yet. 0-1 is a major improvement I would go with that one,it will be my next purchase. hope this helped

I would stay away from this brand. I bought one and used it for a job less then one year and the motor broke. I took the motor off and sent it to the manufacture. They would not replace it and said it was my fault it broke???? I read the manual and did everything per there specs. We had troubles with the compressor keeping up with two finish nail guns at a time. The 18 gauge guns! We would have to wait to shoot nails. I bought a makita from home depot and the thing is great and cheaper. The makita that i bought is also just as quite and it has storage for the air blower and spair parts. Do not buy this one.

I looked at the Safety 1st Alpha Omega, but wasn't all that impressed with the comparative build quality. Also, the amazon reviews for it weren't as good when I was researching. The portability of the Diono also swayed me.

I've spent the past week and a half researching and reading reviews from Amazon and other websites on these 2 irons. After reading the side-by-side comparison I decided to go with the cheaper iron since I have no use for vertical steaming or a detachable water tank. Thanks a lot for the helpful link.:)

So is it worth the purchase? I hate to get something that is not going to work. Do you recommend anything. I try to walk when it's nice. I live in Kansas.

Spend the extra money for the 100. I've not been too happy with the 40. It handles pedals fine though

Stay away from titan. The new models are awful. This Raheem model appears to be the same as the old Titan n120 which was a good unit. I would purchase this unit over Titan any day.

Velineon hands down. If u are looking for speed like a lot of Rusties do then up the kv to 4600 or 5700. 3800 has more torque but less top end speed. I put the 3800 mamba max pro in my pede and she does 60mph easy.

I do apartment maintenance and the one i have had for a year is been through the mill and is just fine. I bought mine after seeing a co-worker whom had his for a couple years and is in fine shape even tho he does his best to destroy all his equipment. I looked at the husky but it was not confiqure as well as the BBX for what iwanted to put in it. The Husky price looks attractive. I would just decide what use and how often it will be used and go from there.

The ATP-2 is not a bad cart, but it isn't great, either. The one that came with my '120 has never been used.I have several better carts; I have been using a Shure M91EDthat I had mounted on a shell years before I got the '120.The M97 would be a worthwhile upgrade. It will provide very good sound at a very reasonable price.Please read the posts (including mine, of course) about the anti-skating on this turntable.

I would have to agree w/ "CyberTom's" response as the one I own flexes a great deal. I would look into something w/ a steel/aluminum frame.
