If you need a planer for your woodworking, this is a very highly rated one. This RIDGID 13-inch benchtop planer is on sale right now for $279 at Direct Tools Outlet. That’s 30% off the regular price of $399. This is for a factory blemished model. If you wanted to purchase this new, check it out at The Home Depot for $459. For a more robust model geared toward more production, check out the DeWALT DW735X (this is the one I have).

Features of this Planer Include

• Chip impeller dust removal system to effectively pull wood chips from the workpiece for improved cuts and a cleaner work area

• Sure-cut carriage lock to lock the cutter head to help minimize snipe at the end of the workpiece

• Large infeed/outfeed table extensions for extra workpiece support to help eliminate snipe

• Steel top with glides for extra wide area to easily stage your material for its next cut

• Easy-to-reach, adjustable, top-mounted handle with 1/16 in. per revolution precision

• Soft-Touch controls for improved comfort and grip

• Ind-I-Cut depth gauge for instantly measuring the cutting depth before each pass

• 8-adjustable repeat-a-cut depth stops to precisely plane multiple workpieces to consistent, desired thickness for repetitive tasks
