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.

It's true that the Festool HL 850 E was the Festool Planers that we rated most highly. Nevertheless, there were a few other really high quality Festool Planers we wanted to show you here that just barely missed the mark.

Next up is made by Festool known to be a very highly regarded tool brand. Festool's Electric Hand Planers are no exception. I was eager to try out the model 574690 and I was not disappointed!

The model 574690 Electric Hand Planer by Festool, at $680.00 is an especially great Planer for the money. If you unsure about our number one pick, I'd check out the Festool 574690 next. It's a first class tool at a good 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.
