- Does anyone have any comments regarding hand-held planers (or is it "planes"?)
- that are powered with .4 or .5 hp motors? The Sears prices range from
- about $70 to $150, and the regular old-fashioned(?) planes can easily surpass
- those prices. What are the limits and capabilities of these hand-held power
- planers?
-
- Since the cutting action appears to be very similar to the jointers, can a
- hand-held power plane (fastened to a table) serve as a poor man's jointer?
