Review: Amazing for wood working jobs in your garage! - Got this as a gift for my dad, and loves it! It perfectly aligned getting every piece of wood perfectly even, have it in a flat surface and it will not move and be very sturdy, the quality is just amazing, is fast, and the noise level is as expected from this type of tools. Review: Just plane awesome!! - This is my first planer so i cant compare it to dewalt or others. But from what i have seen , i am very happy with the results. The snipe is minor and with a little tweaking you can reduce the snipe to a very acceptable level. There is plenty of you tube tutorials on how to do this. This is a top notch machine and well worth the price. Tip: unless you have a very strong suction on a dust collector dont bother with the shroud. It will just clog up fast. ## Features - Hard and soft wood material removal: 15 Amp motor provides power for both hard and soft wood material removal - Maximum stock removal: poly-v cutterhead drive for maximum stock removal - Smooth operation: two knife, quick change, solid steel cutter head mounted on ball bearings, assures smooth operation and long life - Long cutting life: high carbon steel, double edged, reversible knives for long cutting life - Cleaner workspace: vacuum port for dust collection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Y47LFH5 | | Amperage | 15 Amps | | Base Material | Carbon Steel | | Best Sellers Rank | #379,229 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #14 in Power Benchtop Planers | | Brand | CRAFTSMAN | | Brand Name | CRAFTSMAN | | Color | Black|grey|red|brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,492 Reviews | | Cutting Depth | 0.13 Inches | | Cutting width | 12.25 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885911601696 | | Included Components | (1) CMEW320 Benchtop Planer | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 23.5"L x 17.5"W x 15.4"H | | Item Type Name | 15 Amp Benchtop Thickness Planer | | Item Weight | 27.71 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | CRAFTSMAN | | Manufacturer Part Number | CMEW320 | | Material | Carbon Steel | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 8000 RPM | | Model Number | CMEW320 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 23.5"L x 17.5"W x 15.4"H | | Style | Planer | | Style Name | Planer | | UPC | 885911601696 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CRAFTSMAN - **Color:** Black|grey|red|brown - **Item Weight:** 27.71 Kilograms - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 23.5"L x 17.5"W x 15.4"H ## Images ![CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VxF9E99XL.jpg) ![CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b3vcDoSML.jpg) ![CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51d8VrHL+yL.jpg) ![CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h88oNaOBL.jpg) ![CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717h2GrdtKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what width of board will fit** A: 2", 4", 6", 7", 8", 9", 10", 11" & 12" **Q: are the gears plastic or metal?** A: Metal **Q: Where is it made?** A: CMEW320 is made in Taiwan **Q: does the 320 come with the dust recovere sys** A: It comes with a dust chute that you can use to attach to a dust collection system.

I constructed this deck 14 years ago and typically would replace 4 or 5 boards every year. The stain we used did not hold up well to traffic so the deck looked pretty beat up. California forced producers to change the stain formulas and the result is a weaker product. Anyway, I considered using stain remover to get down to bare wood. Nope. The best stain remover did the job but my brush was full of gooey stain very quickly plus the stain remover was expensive. So I decided to try to plane my old boards and bought this Craftsman unit. It works well and it feeds the boards through for you. I have used it on 2 x 6 redwood up to 12 ft length. I mounted the planer on my mitre saw stand that has extendable arms. Works well. The only complaint I have is using guidance given here I attached a 4 inch dia expandable aluminum clothes dryer vent tub to the planer with screw tight clamps and fed the tube into a 5 gal bucket. Let's just say the tube gets clogged up immediately and the cuttings blow out the front of the machine(input side). So wearing a mask is a must. I have probably done almost 200 board feet so far and I think the blades are ok BUT when they come to a knot in the board it can stop or slow the planerl. I now have about 5 inches of fine cuttings I will have to blow out of the way berfore it gets any deeper. The good news is I have some "free" mulch for my plants. I would buy it again as it was a bargain given the job it does. Hand Cranking the blades up and down as you switch from flat to edge planing on the 2x6 can be a pain and I have taken a sharpie to mark on the scale for the proper range for a flat or on edge 2x6. We will just be using clear seal on the redwood. ## Frequently Bought Together - CRAFTSMAN Planer, 15 Amp, For Benchtops, Two Knife Solid Steel Cutter Head (CMEW320) - WEN Benchtop Belt and Disc Sander with 4 x 36 in.
