what is the shortest piece of wood you can plane?

I always use sacrificial wood on the sides and that eliminates any snipe you may get. That being done you could plane really short pieces.

I am considering the purchase of this or steel city 40200h . Any comments on the mikata good or bad

First I like the way this Mikita planner works for me it is simple does what it is supposed to do. A friend has Dewalt it is OK for him because he just turns bowls. When I was looking for a planner I did not see Steel City Tool Works 40200H 13. From an engineering stand point I think the helical cutting head has advantages.Good luck!

If your bites for each pass are not deep, I have not noticed snipe. For long boards, support at the exit is also important. I use a roller support at the end for long boards, take light cuts each pass and my results are excellent. Some planers have 2 speeds, high speed for a smoother finish. I've wondered if this would make any difference in the results, but I've been very happy with what this machine produces.

Hello gentlemen, what voltage is the Makita ? Thanks.

The voltage is the standard 110 volts
