Thickness Planer Buying Guide
When selecting the best thickness planer, consider factors such as size, motor power, finish quality, and your budget. One thing you need to focus on is the cutterhead (straight knife, helical, or spiral cutterhead).
In practical use, a planer with a helical cutterhead produces lower noise and vibration and delivers smoother cut surfaces than a planer with straight knives. That means a wood planer with a helical cutterhead can be the best choice.

What We Like
There are many wood planers available on the market for you to choose from. In this section, we select two models: FindBuyTool FB131H and DeWalt DW735. We will compare the two to help you pick the suitable one.
FindBuyTool 13" Thickness Planer with Helical Cutterhead
Based on previous user reviews, we may call the FB131H 13” planer the best thickness planer with a helical cutterhead. With a 4-row helical cutterhead and 40 carbide inserts, it produces smooth, tear-free shear cuts on various wood types with minimal noise.
This benchtop planer features high heat resistance, long life, and high speed, ensuring stability and reliability in woodworking. It is an affordable machine offering professional-grade results.
- Original price: $699.99
- Christmas Price: $657.99 after 6% off
DeWalt 735 13" Two-Speed Thickness Planer
The DW735 thickness planer features a three-blade straight cutterhead, made from HSS. It has a two-speed gearbox, allowing users to change the feed speed to 96 and 176 cuts per inch. The automatic carriage lock reduces planer snipe at the end of the wood.
The DW735 is a popular wood planer with two speeds. The FB131H is a premium benchtop planer with a helical cutterhead. Choose the best one according to your requirements. In my opinion, a better surface finish is worth the investment.

Table Saw Buying Guide
Table saws come in various types, and you may be confused about which one to purchase. This part will focus on the compact saw, helping you find the ideal saw.
Compact saws don't take up too much space in the workshop. They are portable for taking to job sites. When selecting a compact saw, consider the motor, safety, size, cutting capacity, and your budget.

What We Like
Here are two compact table saws we chose for you: FindBuyTool FS255 and SawStop CTS. Both are portable and have a 10" blade. Select one based on your actual needs.
FindBuyTool FS255 10" Compact Table Saw
The FindBuyTool FS255 compact table saw features a 1800W motor that delivers a blade speed of 4200 rpm. You can handle high-density woods like beech and oak with it effortlessly.
The soft-start function protects the motor and reduces vibration during start-up. The rack-and-pinion fence system allows you to cut smoothly and precisely.
- Original Price: $279.99
- Christmas Price: $263.19 after 6% off
SawStop CTS Compact Table Saw
The SawStop CTS compact table saw stands out with an exceptional feature: its patented safety system. When the saw blade detects finger contact, the rotation immediately stops, and the blade retracts beneath the tabletop, effectively preventing serious injury.
For professionals, its unique feature makes this saw worth buying. But for beginners, this saw is expensive. Except for the patent, its cutting performance is quite comparable to other table saws.
Therefore, the FindBuyTool FS255 10" compact table saw can be your first saw for your workshop if you are a beginner. If your goal is to upgrade your equipment, SawStop should be your top choice.

Miter Saw Buying Guide
A miter saw plays a crucial role in making bevel, miter, and compound cuts. It is available in both single-bevel and double-bevel versions. We will explore the single-bevel miter saw in this section.
Single-bevel miter saws are suitable for DIYers with basic cutting needs. They are more cost-effective and portable than the dual-bevel miter saws.
The key considerations when choosing a miter saw are: motor, blade, and cutting capacity. Besides, some additional features, such as a sliding arm, an LED/laser, and a soft-start function, are also important.

FindBuyTool FM255 10" Sliding Compound Miter Saw
The FM255 sliding compound miter saw has a 15-amp motor, delivering up to 5500 rpm. The soft-start feature maintains speed under load and allows for a more stable cut. It offers 9 positive stops for quick and easy adjustments.
This saw features an LED shadow-line system, improving precision even in dim workshops. The sliding arm and the tall sliding fence allow you to cut wider and higher boards.

Honestly, DeWalt is a very well-known brand, and most people choose its high-quality products. But this time, I'd like to recommend our miter saw. It comes with a sliding arm, LED light, soft start, and a faster speed than DeWalt. It won't let you down.
