12 ½" Spiral Cutterhead Benchtop Planer - CUTECH 40700H

I'm new to woodworking, but I'm quite pleased with this planer. I've run some softwoods through it to test it so far and am pleased with the result. I got the carbide insert version and it seems to perform nearly as well as my friend's Austrian planer in terms of surface smoothness. There is a little bit of snipe, but it seems like it will be manageable with a sander. The fold out tables came nearly perfectly leveled. The machine seems to be well built and the level of debris is minimal with a 5 gallon shop vac. I look forward to working with some rough cut sapele in the near future.

We are so happy we found this planer!
It is very precise, less noisy than the other planer we had and there is minimal to no snipe. It exceeded our expectations by far! We definitely recommend Cutech Tools. Thank you so much!!!

i've had my cutech for about 6 months, used in a busy but hobbyist shop. It moves through wood easily and the finish is excellent. The spiral cutterhead is a terrific feature. overall, flawless performance and very satisfactory features and design. i just put a wixey guage on it

Was looking for planer suitable for a d-i-y weekend warrior. Researched the heck out of it and finally chose Cutech's 40700h. Needed some minor adjustments out of the box and dust collection could probably be better - I'm looking into improving the dust collection system I currently have - but the machine is a workhorse and suits me just fine.

This is the best investment I have made so far. Just a couple small adjustments out of the box to the extension tables, cuts like butter with very minimal snipe, not to mention the excellent customer service talking to a real live person instead of a machine goes a long way. I would highly recommend this planer to not just a first time buyer but anyone who is looking to replace there old one, not taking anything away from other planers but this is by far the best choice anyone could make. I Am so confident with this company and their products my next purchase will be their jointer.
