Purchased this machine specifically to mill some rift sawn white oak.
Very pleased with the power of the machine and the high quality finish product.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the planer has the power and finish quality you needed for your rift-sawn white oak project. Happy milling!
I ordered both a long handle and short handle versions, the long handle I kept as a Roughing Gouge and the short handle I put a finger nail grind. The short handle is performing the best, because the grind is much more versatile. I haven’t used them for any length of time so not sure how long before they need resharpening.
Hi Ronald, thanks for sharing how you’re using both versions. It’s great to hear the short-handle gouge with a fingernail grind is proving versatile, and we hope both tools serve you well. We appreciate your feedback on value and sharpening, too!
I tried the planer on some scrap pressure treated 2x4 that had weathered a long time. I removed a minimal amount of wood with 2-3 passes. I stopped when the weathering was gone. The helical cutter left the finish as smooth as glass. I only used the slow speed. I hope it does as well on hard wood.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the helical cutterhead gave you such a smooth finish, even on weathered pressure-treated lumber. We hope it performs just as well on hardwood—happy planing!
The helical head is outstanding! The Machorool replaced a DeWalt three blade planer. It is quieter, smoother finish, and the dust collection is much improved over my old one. Very satisfied.
Hi Dennis, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re delighted the helical cutterhead is delivering a quieter operation, a smoother finish, and improved dust collection. Enjoy your Machorool planer!
I was about to remove my planer blades to re-sharpen them. Saw an ad for the Findbuy Helical head replacement and ordered it. Delivery was fast. Installation easy if you have the tools. The difference in performance is dramatic. Quieter and a very smooth finish.
Hi Rolf, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the installation went smoothly and you’re enjoying the quieter operation and smooth finish. Happy woodworking!
Hi Giancarlo, thanks so much for the great review! We’re delighted you’re enjoying your FindBuyTool Machorool planer.
The install was very easy, after getting the new cutting head installed. Planner runs much more quiet and the cuts are nice and smooth
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the installation went smoothly and that your planer is running quieter with smooth, clean cuts. Enjoy your new cutterhead!
Installed this helical cutterhead on my DeWalt DW733-QS after running straight knives for years. Installation took about 3 hours, and the fit was spot-on. The difference in noise is immediately noticeable—much quieter and a lower pitch. I ran some rough-sawn Teak Wood and figured boards through it, and the surface finish is nearly sanded-quality with zero tear-out. Totally worth the upgrade
Hi Joel, thanks for sharing such a detailed review! We’re delighted the cutterhead fit perfectly and is giving you quieter operation and a smooth finish on challenging hardwoods. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope you enjoy many more great results with it!
Hi Mark, thanks for the great review! We’re glad you’re happy with the tool’s quality, edge retention, and value. Happy turning!
Hi Joesph, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you’re happy with your Machorool planer and glad you took the chance on it. Enjoy using it!
Very pleased with the new blade. World of difference between this blade and my old blade. It’s like having a new table saw
Hi Gary, thanks so much for sharing! We’re thrilled the blade made such a noticeable difference and that your table saw feels like new. Happy cutting!
Hi there, thanks for the perfect review! We’re glad you’re happy with your router bit.
Could not be happier with the saw! Fits my needs perfectly. Best bang for your buck out there. Are their better saws out there? Sure, but for my needs this is a great saw.
Hi Mike, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled the FS255 fits your needs and delivers great value. Happy cutting!
This is a great upgrade, I face jointed highly figured curly maple after i installed the head and got it tuned back up. Its very impressive well it handle the maple. Should have upgraded it 2 years ago when I bought the jointer.
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re delighted the helical cutterhead handled your curly maple so impressively. Enjoy the upgrade, and happy jointing!
Great piece of kit. Small enough to fit anywhere in the shed/workshop but big enough to cope with the vast majority of jobs likely to arise. As a DIY enthusiast I cannot fault it.
Hi Neil, thanks for the fantastic review! We’re delighted the planer’s compact size and capability are a great fit for your workshop and DIY projects. Happy planing!
Brilliant machine fantastic finish. Waited over 1 year for this to become available in the UK well worth the wait.
Hi Peter, thanks so much for the great review! We’re thrilled the planer was worth the wait and that you’re getting such a fantastic finish. Happy planing!
Love the machine.
I don’t need to sand the wood after it’s been through and so much quieter than any other models I have own.
A great machine
Hi Robin, thanks for the wonderful review! We’re delighted you’re loving your FB131H and enjoying the smooth finish and quieter operation. Happy planing!
I ordered this wrench along with a helical cutter head for my Delta 22-540 planer. The cutterhead is excellent and I wished I had it earlier. The wrench completes the set up and I fully recommend both tools.
Hi there, thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad the T-Handle Preset Torque Wrench completes your setup and that you’re enjoying the helical cutter head for your Delta planer. We really appreciate your recommendation!
I have never had a planer. After much research I bought this, and am very pleased. It is a great tool that planes nice, clean and accurate without any obvious snipe. The controls are easy and the build is solid.
Hi Nitin, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re delighted your first planer is delivering clean, accurate results and that you’re enjoying its easy controls and solid build. Happy planing!
Never owned a planer before, contemplated on purchasing this one and to be completely honest....I have no regrets. Very easy to assemble and set up and for my first planer was easy to use. Some have asked if it will work on hard wood, the answer is yes, I planned 16 of glued up 10x16 walnut, maple and cherry w/absolutely no issues except my stupidity on one of the boards. Highly recommend!!
Hi Susan, thank you for the enthusiastic recommendation! We’re thrilled your first planer was easy to assemble and use, and that it handled your walnut, maple, and cherry project so well. Happy planing!
Hi Guy, thanks for the great review! We’re glad you’re happy with the drill bits, pricing, and delivery. We appreciate your support!
Excellent Wood Planer! The spiral cutters produce a gorgeous smooth finish better than any finish I've seen from any wood planer. I've been a wood worker for 50 years and this is fantastic. As mentioned by others; the locking mechanism is not the greatest although it works fine. I sometimes forget to lock it and it still produces a great finish.
Hi Henry, thanks for sharing your experience—and for your kind words after 50 years of woodworking! We’re delighted the helical cutterhead is giving you such a smooth finish. We also appreciate your feedback about the locking mechanism and will keep it in mind. Happy planing!
Hi Richard, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the installation went smoothly and that you’re pleased with your purchase. Happy planing!

Hi Sajeevan, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the cutterhead arrived in good condition and that our team could help with customs clearance. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying quieter operation and smooth planing.
Hi Cudmund, thank you for the great review! We’re glad your cutterhead arrived quickly and that installation and testing went smoothly. Happy planing!
