PORTER-CABLE PC60THP 6-Amp Hand Planer

I have a yellow one that looks almost identical. Has always worked great and fast, but haven't needed it often. Forgot what project I got it for.

For rough hogging of wood, probably OK. Tool longevity of a $60 PC, iffy.

Looking at those prices my reaction is "WTF, has Porter Cable become the competing brand to Chicago Electric"? I remember when Porter Cable meant exceedingly well made professional tools priced accordingly.

Hey, I've had my $40 Sony Vaio PC fer 8 yrs and it still works fine!

......oops....... wrong newsgroup. Sorry. ;)

Thanks,

'tain't rocket surgery. They're great for knocking down a swollen door. For putting a bevel on an un-beveled door. They're good for straightening wood on a job when you don't have a TS or bench planer. They're great for just knocking of a tad bit from trim while keeping a nice, straight edge. Go slow and they leave a finished edge... or at least one that a couple passes with 120 will leave finished.

Well that was about 10 years ago...
