Scheppach HMS860 1500W Planer - Modern Metal Design, High Speed-Steel Knives, Compact & Stable, Includes Hand Planer

An excellent piece of machinery, arrived two days early, performs very well only draw back is altering from surface planing to thicknessing fitting the extractor and locating with the micro switches. However I would recommend this planer, excellent value and a UK dealership to answer any questions and get spare parts.

Powerful enough. Very sturdy and does the job without problems. Nice product.

This is a surprisingly well made tool considering the price. I am very pleased with the finish it puts on the timber. The measurement guide is just that a guide not very precise, but who cares. It's quite heavy so moving it around a lot could be a problem. It's noisy and dusty, but what the hell do you expect. Chip extraction is ok does tend to clog on deeper cuts. To sum up great value for a small workshop. I will use it a lot.

Planer came with blunt blades no one care to send replacement blades as only done one test and I can tell you it is rubbish and costumer service even worst. I wouldn’t care but pay for replacement blades £60 as I just bought it I don’t see fear play 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Fantastic power only fault I can find is thence dos not slide so if you need to square a edge you have to lean over the cutter even with guard life is difficult. Apart from that great

I was happy to spend the extra money on this machine as I've purchased Scheppach products in the past and found they are really good quality compared to the cheaper options.This machine is indeed solidly built but I discovered that the in-feed and out-feed tables are not co-planar and there is no means to adjust.I contacted the supplier with images of the machine and they arranged a replacement the next day and even collected the defective one a few days later.I inspected the replacement machine and discovered that it had the exact same defect.I contacted the supplier once again and they contacted the manufacturer for advice.It was determined that there was a manufacturing fault and that it appeared they had a defective batch.I returned the machine for a full refund and ended up purchasing the cheaper option from another brand as I really needed a surface planar to complete a project on time.I can't fault the supplier as they were absolutely brilliant and made the process of returning both items an absolute breeze.This won't prevent me from buying the Scheppach brand again as I understand these things happened and I'm familiar with Scheppach quality. I believe this really was just an unfortunate situation.I still recommend Scheppach but advise customers to check this product upon delivery in case there are still machines out there with the same defect.For this reason I am only able to give it 3 Stars.

The machine was delivered one week sooner than expected, and the set up right out of the box was pretty square. My only complaint is why do they put a plastic lattice type restriction inside the dust collection box where is expands to 100mm. All this does is trap all the shavings when thicknessing and stops them getting to my dust extractor. I wish someone could tell me what this is for, and can it be removed.

Product excellent shame about how it was left outside the house no notification through door must have been delivered in dark as didnt find it till next morning could have been stolen
