Powermatic 20" planer
By Rand T. Frantz
I just read the one star report and had to add my comments on the planer. Almost all woodworking machinery is now made in China unless you buy expensive European machines. This is not what I prefer. It is reality. I received my planer about a month ago. It had no rust and works as it should. I would recommend it highly. I am a professional woodworker/cabinet maker and use the planer almost daily. It replaced a 12" Robland jointer/planer (European Made). I like the Powermatic's larger capacity and it's 5 hp motor really gets it on. I may update this planer with one from Felder (Austrian made) some day but that is a major difference in cost. In its class, the Powermatic just can't be beat.

By Lee R. Bauerlein
After reading a few reviews here, I can understand some of the dissapointments.We received our planer in good condition and did need to fine tune some of the settings. We consider this fairly normal however. The one problem we experienced out the gate though was that a chip deflector broke from it's weld and fell into the knife head. Since we purchase this unit from a large dealership, Powermatic shipped all the needed replacement parts immediately. Unfortunately, our several hours of labor required to fix the unit were not covered. Not a big surprise though.If you are a serious woodworker or have a medium or larger shop, I would highly recommend replacing the cutter head with the one offered by Byrd Tool as we did.The results were more than like night and day. We have had the same knives in the planer for almost 6 months and have yet to change or adjust them. Extremely quiet, vertually no tear out or chatter. Powermatic used to offer this head with a few select machines. We will use this new head design on all our joiners and planers.

By Chris Schaefer
the first unit arrived in terrible condition. It was not securred to the pallet and the crating was not designed to ship something of this weight. Amazon went above and beyond when it came to replacing the unit. I received the second unit with less damage but still not an up to standard shipping crate. This time Amazon sent the replacement parts and the unit is a hungry working monster. I love it. A little rust on one of the infeed conveyors. Amazon is king when it comes to something of this size. I was nervous ordering machinery of this magnitude. I would and will buy from Amazon again.
