Planer
Base is plastic but robust so no issue there, fence sets up manually but easy enough, you will need a good square to set it.
I’ve put it through it’s paces on some rough stock and it finished it well at .5-1.5cutd, no idea why you want to try and plane 3mm off a piece in one go!
Also use a push stick could have been supplied
Only bad point is the blade guard/ guide is flimsy .
All in all I would recommend this planer for the diy enthusiast as for the money it’s pretty good , easy to set up and use, recommended use a shop vac mine fits the port and I’ve had no clogging.
For under £200 build quality is fine too
Would have been 5 stars but the guide is a minor let down.Read full review

All in all, quite a good machine for the price and hobbyist.
Purchase and delivery response excellent. Quality of machine left a bit to be desired. The machine was listed on several sites at a much higher price so I chose this one but build quality was a bit below par. The infeed table finish is fairly poor and doesn't adjust squarely with the adjustment knob, the instruction manual was also quite poor with not very detailed instructions and I had to modify one of the fence mounting brackets by enlarging the holes, as it would not sit square on the machine. Otherwise, it works ok. I have yet to use it on any detailed work.Read full review

Bench planer
I wish they would state what materials it made off, base is made of plastic so it is lightweight, when I first got it I set it up not a problem with that but the fence took awhile to get that square.<br>Put my first few pieces through (oak) and iron did a very good job squared the all up no problems plenty of power the only thing I would say is clamp it down when useing it to be safe it is light, for the price you cannot complain because it's a steal, my dewalt planer cost more than this, so far a great investmentRead full review

silverline bench planer
quite solid for the price and does what it should do once you check and set it all up, the planer has a run duration time of 10 minuets then I assume it cuts out. The power on/off switch is effective and latches in the off position, the dust removal is good depending on the power of your vacuum. Overall for the money and size quite effective keep the cuts small and achieve a good finish.Read full review

Wood workers delight not to heavy
I bought this to keep my wood smooth for projects I make out of old Pallets it fits on my work Bench nice and easy to move from one work space to another, and easy to set up and it works fine you just need a bit of elbow grease to push your wood across the top of the spinning Blades keeping pressure on you wood you need a vacuum connected to the rear of the Planner when in operation to keep the dust and shavings down .all in a great machine so easy to use .Read full review

Would buy again.
Some hesitation before buying after a few reviews but went for it and very pleased I am too, based on the value for money. Setting up was not an issue. No need to bend brackets with a hammer as one reviewer did, ALL the brackets are slotted to take up all the adjustment you need to get a vertical guide plate. All plates were level and flat sufficient for my work. I have been planing the faces and edges of stripped pallet boards and they come up so well. One thing I am having difficultly with and currently waiting on Silverline to advise is where I can obtain the 150mm blades if spares are needed. Normally spares are from Toolstream their outlet but these blades are not listed. Overall, very easy to use and angled edges are good using the guide plate. I have modified my Vax drum vacuum cleaner to fit the dust outlet spigot and I can plane away with virtually no debris at all. Recommended.Read full review

1800W Bench planer.
I am so pleased with this item. I had never had one often thought I would buy one. I'm very glad I chose the silverline make. It's efficient does a great job. I had seen reviews and videos of another make giving poor reviews of the guiding plate, and how flimsy it was. We had no such issues regarding the one on this machine. We planed pieces 1200cm x 3cm x 5cm with ease and no issues with the guide plate.
We did find the set up instructions a bit poor and unclear and stumbled along regarding setting the blade. In fairness something new is always a bit trial and error. In no time we were using the machine. One minus it is very noisy, especially in a small space, but ear defenders are a good idea, maybe a must. We very much enjoyed using the silverline beach planer. It's compact size is easy to store, heavy enough to sit safely and light enough to lift. Chuffed with it for a good price.Read full review

Not what I expected.
This is just a small surface planer with flimsy clamps. It's ok for very small jobs like tidying up pallet wood for repurposing. My initial thought was that it was a planer/ thicknesser like similar priced models but don't be fooled. It is a small jointer.Read full review
