Wahuda Tools 13" Spiral Cutterhead Planer with 4-sided carbide Tips (Two Speed-New)

I've only run a few boards through it so far but it works perfectly. You can't get a spiral head planer for this price. Everything was square out of the box - no adjustments needed. Definitely worth the price.

I've used this planer to smooth out many boards from pallets to create beautiful planter boxes, picture frames and bandsaw boxes. It's quiet, powerful and easy to operate. I built a long sled to fit under it which reduces planer snipe and allows for even surfacing on long boards.Be careful to check pallet wood for nail bits. I use a strong magnet on fishing line to hover over each board which automatically finds any embedded metal pieces. I attached a dust collector system to it and see very little chips and shavings after planing, using short passes.

This planer works very well. It arrived damaged due to trasit and the seller/manufacturing quickly responded and replaced the damaged part proptly.

The planer is fantastic. Very easy to assemble, calibrate and use. AIt came in packed with a styrofoam box, corner protectors and 1/2 inch plywood on all six sides. Strangely, there was a cosmetic crack on the left panel. The box was sitting in my basement for about two months before being used, therefore, I couldn't return it to Amazon. Although it's under warranty, I'm responsible to freight it to service center, hence the 4 stars.I shouldn't have to pay for something that it was expected to be in new condition.Other than that, it works great and wood comes with a perfectly flat and smooth surface thanks to the spiral cutterhead.

Love this planer. Replaced a Dewalt DW734. It came in damaged, needed the planer, so I contacted Wahuda directly and they took care of it. The cut quality is great, and comes out very smooth. Excellent value for a spiral cutter head planer from the factory.

I'm not sure I should give this 2 or 3 stars. Inrwally was hoping this would work better. Maybe there's just something not quite right with my machine, but it seems WAY underpowered for this size motor. It would not cut more than 1/32 per pass on 6" walnut. Even then it struggled and stalled out on occasion.I've used the DW 734 as well as similar Ryobi 3 blade planers with the same motor size and while it might have bogged down a bit, they never stalled or had issues cutting 12" wide stock.The cut is nice. Very little snipe. I'm just not sure I'll be keeping this machine.

I really wanted this planer to workout. Right out of the box it began making a terrible noise that sounded like someone threw a hand full of pennies into the drive train. I am aware that you can not turn the speed rate switch without the machine on. The switch may have been bumped by mistake in unpacking, I don't know, can't say for certain. What I do know is that if that is the reason why, this makes for very poor design. The worst part is that upon return I ended up having to pay $45 out of pocket in shipping, which frankly made me a little angry. Very disappointing that trying something new cost me almost 50 bucks. On that point alone I will never try another Wahuda tool again. I guess there is something to be said in going with proven brands. I replaced this planer with a Makita and am very happy with its performance.

I was apprehensive about this product, as I'd never heard of the manufacturer. I've been presently surprised by its power and accuracy. Almost 2 years later its still working just as well as the day I set it up and I have yet to even rotate the blades on the cutter head. Only negative I've found is the infeed/outfeed trays are a little less rigid than I would like, especially with the rollers fully extended, but that's to be expected with any benchtop versions of this type.
