+1 on Cutech. I bought mine about a year and a half ago. Planer has been fine and handles boards just fine. I am a hobbyist so I don't run a lot through, but I just rotated the blades.

If you want to see a video of this process, I recently watched a Norm Abram Old Yankee workshop where he uses this technique. Season 1 Ep 4.

As far as a company, they are good. They have good customer service, good shipping, and good products. As far as their branded plane, I have seen the review online as being OK; better than most...
I started out about 1.5 years ago. I have a Dewalt sliding miter, had a dewalt jobsite table saw, Cutech jointer, and Cutech planer.
Today, I have Sawstop PCS and the same miter, jonter, and...
I have the PCS 1.75 and have no problem once I moved my plug to a dedicated 110 volts 15 amp service. I suspect you are not using a 220 volt circuit. Does anyone know what style SawStop 220 volts...
I also have the Cutech 8". When I was buying my jointer, Cutech was the only one that makes an 8" benchtop design. It works well, but being bench top it does limit the length that should be ran...
I have the Cutech benchtop planer. It has been good and trouble free. They have since changed their name to Wahuda, but it looks the same.
Count me in. Thanks for the opportunity
I have a dewalt job site saw and made a crosscut sled.
Things I wish or found out:
1. For me, I made two runners. Funny enough the width of the two miter gauges are not the same. I ended up...
I would like to be included. Thanks Grizzly
For me, it has been the 14 inch bandsaw. It has been good. No problem. I have been considering the six inch jointer with the spiral blades.
I got the OK for a sawstop, otherwise it would be the...
Had to check out Harvey Machine website. I hope they make good tool, because their website leaves a little to be desired. The printing on it is so small and the product shots look good, but it...
Thanks for the link! Finding a auger file seems a little crazy right now. Anybody has a particular brand file they recommend? Amazon offers two. Highland woodworking has one, but both Lee Valley...
Update for me:
I ended buying a vintage set of Russel Jennings augers. These are stamped Stanley made in England, so I am not sure of the quality. My original concern of buying vintage came to...
This is an innovated method to secure the bench dog. I have to take a look at that.
Nice. Those exposed ends and square pegs are attractive details.
That is the crux of the problem. WoodOwl is slightly undersized. Interesting that true 3/4 is slightly over sized. I think best bet is to go 1/16 bigger or find a true 3/4 auger.
I am in the process of building my bench. The bench is laminated pine about 4 inches thick. I have decided upon 3/4" holes for dogs and other bench accessories.
I am using a bit brace and...
Cheers Jim!! That is a wonderful attitude and maybe one day I will have the maturity for the same. I do agree, public institutes have a tough time leaving money alone. Seems the USPS is getting...
I want to say go USPS! If you live in a rural area, USPS is your life line. Imaging getting mail service once per week or driving to a larger town to get your mail.
Imagine the wave of outgoing...
I asked the same question not long ago. I went with the WoodOwl augers and they have been good. I have only used the 1/4 inch and the 1/2 thus far.
Reason for going moder. Was the uncertainty of...
That is my intended process too. I just ordered a few bits, not ready for drilling yet, but the bench it almost ready.
Thanks for your guys suggestion, seems the WoodOwl tri-cut is a good work...
Thanks, I have to check out the TFWW Jenning pattern.
Edit:
Checked them out. They are nice, but rather expensive.
Greeting all,
I am in the process of building my bench and have been using mostly hand tool. The long rips, repeated cross cuts, and final planing have been done by machines. With that in mind, I...
I just recently went down a similar path, so I will share my limited experiences. I tried the water stones and the diamond plates. I personally settle on the diamond plate after gouging my water...
