Hell, at 12-5/8" they should market it with an adapter so one could turn it
upside down and stick in a vise for use as a regular stationary planer.

31 pounds. Moving blades. Hand held. Sounds a bit scary!

There have been a couple of times when I would gladly have
rented one of these. Try running a 24'x6"x12" through a
stationary planer and you will see what I mean.

I love tools like that. I still wish that I had my Makita 16"
circular saw. I sold it about 3 years ago and have regretted
it ever since.

As Tim Allen would say, "More power!" ... :)

For timber framers, these are common. Weight (up to the point of being
just too heavy to pick up easily) is an advantage, not a disadvantage as
it sets on the timber and the weight/mass adds inertia to minimize the
kickback problem someone else already mentioned.

In UK, even your toaster is 220V; it's only we on this side of the pond
who think that's unusual for portable/handtools...

...

And let them lose the arm, huh? :)

For timber framers, they're an everyday tool. The mass is actually
_a_good_thing_ (TM) as it minimizes the problem of kickback. Only real
problem using one like any other tool is to not take too large a cut and
pay attention. Keeping knives sharp is the other critical item, too, of
course...

I was trying to think, and I don't even have ONE 220 volt hand
power tool. I wonder if they come in three phase?

Does it come with a arm replacement plan. If that puppy grabs & kicks, you
just might lose that arm. TOOOO scary for me. For that kind of money &
risk, hire some fool to do face dressing of the timber.

Bah. It's a lightweight compared to the new Veritas #8-1/2.
