It's a brave man that dares to bring in an electric plane amongst the kinky one eyed plane handtool addicts here.
G'donya.. you may be old, but you're no tool! Thanks for taking the time to educate the hand jobbers and write this review.
I have more hand planes that I can leave an unprotected piece of timber alone, however, there is a time when electrons need to do the pushing, people swallow their pride and try to admit they are part of my human race.
I've had this Hitachi practically since electricity was invented. I will concede that I hate umbilical cords and have recently (4 years ago) upgraded to a cordless Ryobi, (though a tad more than $60)...
Over the years my house had a sinking feeling and the door on my workshop has dropped about 15mm... Got jack of trying to shoulder open the door with 2 cask-o-vinos in my arms. Love to see those purists trying to remove 20mm from this threshold (I think that's what it's called) using a hand job...
Many people have dedicated planes to remove the hairs from their ears and noses... I see nothing wrong with an electric one for some other dedicated job.
$60 is probably less than the cost of my time to draft this comment (with the pictures)...
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
