Purchased a Powercraft electric planer from Aldi recently - looked well constructed for £13 !
One minute planing some beech and blade is blunt and rounded.
Only to be expected at the price. Purchased new De Walt blades but they are so brittle that they shatter on tightening in holder. Tried 2 sets so far.
Clamping block is same as many other makes.
First time owning an electric planer, any special techniques for fitting blades ? or is it just a bad batch of De walt ?
Regards,
Stefan
