This is about as cheap as they get. All of the reviews I saw have been
favorable, which surprised me based on the price. I'm not going to use
a planer but a few times a year, but I don't want a machine that I can't
get to make parallel across the board either...
Any opinions on this low priced planer?
TIA

Proper technique will eliminate snipe with or with out a head lock.

It does not have a cutter head lock, you will get "snipe" at each end of the
board. Spend some more money and at least get one with a lock.
