Hi All,

I’m currently toying with the idea of buying an electric handheld planer and was wondering how many of you out there use one and how you use it. I recently lost access to a large shop where I use to prep my wood (long story I won’t get into it) so at this time I’m back in my garage and having my lumberyard prep the wood for me, since I no longer have access to a planner or jointer. I guess what I’m asking is an electric handheld planer worthwhile. Occasionally I’ll have to prep a couple of board and using a traditional hand plane may not be time effective or running back to my lumberyard. Buying a benchtop planer and jointer is not feasible at this time, if anyone out there has other ideas they would be appreciated. Sorry for rambling on and I hope this makes sense I just finished a sixteen hour day in the shop in order to meet a couple of deadlines.

Thanks for your assistance.
