Power is adequate for fresh cut oak rough planks. I received it today and am learning how to use it. Yes, this quickly filled, but it was better than nothing. I'm building a farm table out of reclaimed lumber. This would definitely be worth the price.

The Festool HL 850 E was definitely our number one Festool Planers. That being said, there are a number of other fantastic options when it comes to Festool Planers. We have a breakdown of them here.

The next in our tool break down is made by Festool known to be a very reputable tool supplier. Festool's Electric Hand Planers are one of their top offerings. It was great to test the 574690. I was very satisfied with this tool!

The Festool 574690 Electric Hand Planer, at $680.00 is an especially great Planer for the money. If you not sure about our top pick, I'd consider the Festool 574690 next. It's a first class tool at a great price.

Power is adequate for fresh cut oak rough planks. It makes mountains of wood shavings on the smallest projects! It runs smooth and the cutters are very sharp. I wish the did include a collection bag, that's one big con. This would definitely be worth the price.
