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 the highest. That being said, there are several other really great selections when it comes to Festool Planers. We have the best of them in this article.

The next in our tool break down is built by Festool which is a very highly regarded tool brand. Festool's Electric Hand Planers are no exception. I was ready to try out the model 574690 and I was not let down!

The model 574690 Electric Hand Planer by Festool, at $680.00 is a particularly exceptional Planer for the price. The Festool 574690 is really a solid alternative. Of you are uncertain about our number one choice, I would select this Planer.

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.
