Vevor 12.5 inch thickness planer! A much needed tool!  

Your review is so much more detailed and helpful than any advertisement. I wish Vevor would send you every tool they make so you can do the research work for us :)

Hi Andrew. I've watched quite a few videos for weekend woodworking planers. Thanks to you, I know which one I'm getting. Good video.

Awesome explanation and review. I have the same planer and have had it for a few months. What I do with it is relatively lite work but so far it is an excellent machine. Only tripped the breaker once as I cranked the hand crank to low while it was planing by accident. For some one like me getting into wood working machines like that are excellent!

We had a 240 volt 18 inch high end planer in the early 80's that cost 5 grand and when the local lumber yard caught wind they gave us loads of wood and paid for the dies and made trim they were low on like base board, chair rail etc. and bought it back by the foot. It paid for the planer in 2 weeks and continued use for our custom cabinet shop.

Your disclaimer is very important.

I have this planer . And ran a ton of walnut threw it and chuged right on through.. very happy with ot .

Great review I would think a lot of companies would want you to do reviews because your honest.

Can't wait to see the outdoor kitchen & custom furniture.

I always wanted a planer, so I got a "new to me" Dewalt off FB MP last year. Love it. I chainsaw mill cedar and pecan and then run it through the planer to make boards for projects. I've taken a round old cedar log and run it through the planer to make a 4x4 before!! Have fun with it.

Andrew i think i’ve been subscribed since about 2k subs, i want to start of by saying how i’ve always enjoyed your videos, they’ve always been great quality and easy to watch, the video and sound quality especially now is fantastic and you’re a natural presenter, keep the videos coming

Hi, Andrew! That planer makes quick work with the oak and the pine. I bet you wish you had it sooner. Loved the video. I am eager to see the door installation video. The picture of the doors is awesome. Beautiful doors.

Bandsaw, Planer and jointer made my DIY a success. I got a load of rough quarter sewn 4/4 white oak and made some beautiful projects with it. The sewing machine cabinet I made for my wife is my favorite (up until she wants me to move it). Thanks for the review. That is a great price especially this day and age. Whenever you have to replace and calibrate the new blades, I'd love to see a video on that process. I have to rotate and replane to compensate for the notch a nail took out of my current blades.

Ordered one from Wal Mart today! Thanks for this review, I'm now subscribed!!

I just received the same planner today. I'm so glad you put this on here. Thanks so much. I can't wait to use it.

Just got myself one of the Vevor planers and was good to watch your video before using it. Thanks for the effort of putting the video together.

Another great review! I could watch these everyday.

Very nice. Makes me want a dedicated wood shop.

You do the best information, product videos. Nice of them to send it to you.

Wow! That is an amazing machine and price! Great review!

Awesome video. I am happy you got another awesome tool. That will save you a lot of money.

you got it going on Andrew, you got the skills the tools the wood...happy happy joy joy😁

Great review!!! It looked to do well compared to others I have used in the past

I bet that shop smelled incredible

Thank for the information, been looking for a planner and now I have one. Thank you for the coupon as well. Definitely come in handy.

Great review Andrew. I think a plainer is a nice tool to have. The one your reviewing looks pretty nice. Your going to be doing trim and building some furniture, I would say this tool is an asset to have. 🇨🇦

Sweet deal, like it comes with a stand and extra blades for that price. I bet its gonna get some use with all those projects!Enjoyed it Andrew.

Well you sold me on the planer. I just ordered it. Thank you so much for the great video.

You're an excellent presenter. Just a video hint. When you're shooting in front of that door to the outside, get a big piece of white material to reflect light onto you. You were kind of in the shadows. But wow, what an excellent review.

I was looking at this planer with enthusiast interest...... Then you made me choke when you said $287. I'm in rip off England $430! I'm trying to get my small shop back up and running after a roof disaster but here the prices of power tools are ridiculous by comparison. Thanks for the video review, really appreciated. P.S. I think that's a wonderful machine, can't think why anyone would want a yellow on😉

Just found your channel. Appreciate the time you spend making it an enjoyable informative watch

I’m sold. I was debating, my mind is at ease. Thank you and Vevor for the share

That machine looks exactly like the one I have, except it did not come with extra blades or a stand. But then I did buy mine some 20 years ago. what you may have missed is the two rollers on top of the machine. It is designed for two person operation. Once the wood passes through, it is lifted and passed back to the start via the two rollers on top of the machine. Good design for a cheap machine for the home owner.

Remember to shift The boards around so that you don't wear out the center prematurely

Now I can't wait to see the stairs you build to the loft.

Nice review on the planer. Honest workout with the oak slab. Good job Andrew

I've had a planer for about 6 years now. I'll never NOT have one again. The chips are perfect for quick breakdown in the compost pile or put straight in the garden.

Thanks for the review, I was about to ask a question about cupping/snipe before you covered it for me. My 25-year-old Harbor Freight planer does have some snipe that I have not been able to completely get rid of, so I'm impressed with your results. Nice machine for the price. 👍

Planers are a great tool for a woodworker. You can save a lot by buying rough cut boards and make any thickness you want/need. Good choice on tongue and groove for the porch roof! It will look beautiful!

Any company that is confident in the quality of their product will certainly get most thorough and honest review on your channel:))) I hope that nasty weather they're talking about in the news isn't close to you!

If you have no use for the wood you could use your wood burning machine and make those pics an hang them around the house 👍🏼👍🏼

I have a three blade Dewalt that I've had for about ten years. I've never been really happy with it but it works. My plainer would have triped the breaker going through that oak. With new blades with eight inch pine I can only do half cranks on the depth or it's a long day.

Looks like a Great tool Andrew and you made a Ton of Man Glitter with that Demo 😄

I'm a little late watching but very impressed. What a time saver.

I like it! Thanks for the review!!!

Great video: very informative. I'm curious about something you said when you milled the large piece. You stated, it had rotten knots that were wet and not a good idea to use. I have a piece of driftwood and I'm wondering if I can't use it now because it may just have these rot spots. I only want to use it for making epoxy+wood serving trays though. Can I still run it through or will it ruin the planer or blade? Many thanks!

Thanks Andrew. You just made me spend $319 on the planer. Used your coupon code also. Keep up the good work. Peace

If I needed one I'd get one from Vevor. Nice new tool! Don't forget to save the sawdust for the man candles.

Nice review Andrew. Never heard of this brand. Will have to check them out. Glad you talked about snipe that was my first question. It looked good on video. Second question are the blades double sided? So when one side gets dull or chiped you can flip it over and use the other edge.

Nice planer I have a Porter Cable planer, the best thing i did with mine was rolled a wheelbarrow in back to catch ll the saw dust, the board will go right over the wheelbarrow

If everything is adjusted properly and you're still having problems with snipe, there's a way to get around having to cut off the snipe from your boards. Grab two sacrificial boards around 18 inches long and around the same thickness as your tongue and groove, feed the sacrificial board first, butt up your tongue and groove boards one after another and then run another sacrificial board last. All the snipe will be on the two sacrificial boards and you can maintain all the length you need on your tongue and groove. Good luck, you're doing a damn fine job.

like the planner. now you can make a table top for outside and chopping board. maybe kelly's sign for ouside. be bless and love from up above from JESUS. SAVANNAH TN.

Andrew at around 4:00 into the video you said the tables were a little out of level and you adjusted to level. One way of getting rid of snipe at times is to raise the feed tables up on the outside edge which is what it sounded like it was delivered. I didn't think you were getting any snipe as you can normally hear it when the planer snipes the material. You definitely don't want to have debris on the lumber as it will nick the blades and now you get marks in the material. Nice little planer they sent you. You deserve it..

I need one of these, but 15" wide

I love that you planed a thick, wide piece to test it's capabilities. The only thing I would have done differently is check both sides with dial calipers to check the evenness of the cut from one side to the other but that's minor and I am probably more fussy then most.

I had a nice frigid a little while ago believe it was a 6x12, I did the math, it hit the material over nine times per 1/16 of an inch feed making a very smooth finish

I was just wondering how many amps you were drawing when you put that big piece of wood in. It didn't seem to bog down the motor. It cut into that log pretty good if that wood is a little wet? seems to me its a Beast of a planer. Money well spent! 👏👍

Can you put the saw dust in your garden soil? Or the compost pile?

Nice work and looks pretty good for the price. I would make a slight correction to your statement that a thickness planer can remove twist and bows. It CAN do that, but only with a known flat surface under the board you are trying to plane. Simply running a warped or twisted board through will frequently maintain the twist and sometime even add to it as you start to expose the wetter, inner wood and release internal stresses.

Electric planners are fantastic. Especially if you start milling wood. The mill comes out very rough and is almost unusable until it’s resurfaced, a planer is a great way, you can set it to get consistent thicknesses and if your blade on your planer is in decent shape your finish is going to be usable you won’t even have to sand most of the time. It may not be perfect but if you were building a shed or a dog house or a workbench or anything like that the planer finish is going to be awesome and it can take stain and finishes without the sanding so unless you’re doing fine furniture or very finished work it’s enough and illuminates the need for sanding. Are used to work for a decking company and we were always tearing down decks and they would just take the old wooden plane it and use it for all kinds of projects and it’s great for recycling wood. Just take old rough would run it through the plane or a couple times and you’ve got a good piece of wood to start your project. A planer is a very simple machine and shouldn’t really be expensive. You need a good spinning blade system that clamps the blades well and a good strong motor. The rest is incredibly simple machinery and there’s no reason for it to be $500 or $700. Once it’s working, and this one obviously does then it’s just a matter of a test of time to see how the motor and blade assembly holds up. I love the simple machinery, especially in older milling and metal work, it was just built to last it never goes bad you just replace consumables and it’s nice to have laser options for measurement and features but they’re not really critical there’s nothing you can do with them that the old machines won’t. A planer is a very simple machine and if it’s built well to last there’s no reason for it to be incredibly expensive. This looks like a good one so far and you will obviously use it a lot, it’ll be interesting to see how it holds up.

lol that's the very first thing I saw with that planar, I was like...that seems kind of short, maybe I should suggest that he raise the height so his back don't get messed up from repetitive motions with his back at a bad angle. Btw, since you seem to like to work on stuff on your own and you have the shop space, one of the ways that I see a lot of DIY people save money is to get those old industrial tools and repair them. Give like Abom79 and Steve Sommers for example have series on repairing and refurbing those old machines.

I see a piece of equipment like this and I'll say to myself , I'll never use something like that, and a need comes up sometime in the future! I do like your gift of gab. I wish I had it in all seriousness. Great job gotta go get that cathead biscuit 🍪😉

I'm sure this machine would make some awesome butcher blocks and then use your Lazer engraving tool 🤔🤔🧐🧐 I see some special merch in the future 🤷🏽‍♂️

Looks great, but I would set it up with some kind of collector for the saw dust. Maybe you can use the saw dust around your place somewhere. God Bless

Andrew this is just a thought. Jeff Barron Southern Alabama dose a lot of milling on his own property. He is on You Tube with his daughter Hanna. I was wondering if he might be a contact for the wood for your porch area at a better price. 🇨🇦

Hey guy. I have the very same model and its worked great so far BUT......i tan a lot of walnut threw it . And now i qent to use it and something is built up in the motor preventing it from spinning . I dont want the motor to burn up . Can you do a video servicing the motor compartment . Ive lost my lil book on it and it really doesn't show you how to take apart the housing . Thanks in advance . I got suckered on amazon fir 400 for mine ....shame .

From what I have been told by friends with these you need to invest in some carbide blades if you plan to run a lot of boards through it

Outdoor kitchen material?

Andrew, you have a brand new toy! Wish you would have had it sooner!

Where can I find parts for this New motor

I see your porch ceiling out in the back 40. I know you don't want to cut them down, but what are trees for? You need a log mill,table saw and a place to dry and season the lumber. Count your savings and the pride you will have in saying "I did it my self" Jerry in Pa

Doing the wood outside--love it !!!

Try finding new blades for this equipment. I have a Vevor 12 inch and can't find blades for it. Customer service was no help.

If you do buy a dewalt, i would suggest spending the extra 100 on the nicer one .if you are spending 500, why not spend the extra 100 on a lot nicer and more capable tool 👍

FYI - Twisted in twisted out !!

So it sounds like these people are a legit company then

You should review a grapple, I think that would be ok wink wink!

Both Ryobi and Dewalt anything is banned from my shop.

It's a complete toy and breaks easily. If you plane anything denser than cardboard stay away. Also if you get problems they make it really difficult. It worked fine maybe half an hour to one hour altogether.

What the hell do you need a battery for a caliper for lol??? A good old trusty analog dial indicator is NOT hard to read.... and WAAAAAY more accurate
