Just rec'd my "Xmas present" last weekend from SWMBO. Got it setup and
hooked to my dust collection system and thought I'd put it to the test right
away. While first cuts are bound to look the best since the blades are still
sharp, I was extremely impressed with the quality of the cut. Planed some
maple and some jatoba for starters. Then went for a 2 foot long piece of
gnarly looking curly maple that I had resawed a while back and never cleaned
up. Took it down to 1/4 inch on the fine cutting setting and the finish was
incredible. No snipe, super smooth finish. Overall appears to be a quality
machine.
After 15+ years with an original Ryobi AP10 planer, this is quite a change.
Have to say, the old Ryobi was still doing it's job even after all this
time.

Several people mentioned ordering the three knife Dewalt planers
recently. I was just wondering how you like them. I have had good and
not so good experiences with Dewalt, but if this planer works like it
should I think I want one.

TIA,
