Customer Rating:
Summary: Top of the line
Comment: Silky smooth cuts, dead-on accuracy, heavy duty...what more can I say? If money is no object, this is the way to go. If not wanting to spend the $, the Bosch is a close second at $300 less.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I have used the Porter Cable Porta-Plane before, so I already new it was a good planer. Now that I own one, I finally got the chance to use it brand new. I have used it on about 5 doors, so far. Once you get the hang of how it works, you can make absolutly straight runs with it from one end to another on a door. I have even been able to shape the doors to fit the old jambs when they weren't straight. I can just draw a pencil line, and I am able to basically free-hand the planer along the line. I have even used it to cut the height of the doors so I didn't have to use a saw, and I have used it to clean-up the saw cut on some doors that needed to be cut down. I would recomend having a second blade ready because if you do a lot of deep cuts, it dulls pretty quickly.

Summary: Use the Right Tool for the Job
Comment: I've been using this door planer for years and it has been around longer then i've been hanging doors. It must be about 20 years old. This planer is a necessity for hanging doors. In fact, that is all I use it for.
When i'm dealing with doors that cost more then a $1000, I don't want to mess it up with some cheap planer, I use the right tool for the job.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor Quality Plane
Comment: I just received a new 9118 and the shoe plates are not flat -- not even close! I am returning it unused. Warped plates make this tool basically worthless. I've noticed a decline in Porter Cable quality and this is either indicative of it or just my bad luck. Porter Cable will not get a second chance on this one. $400 is a lot to pay for a relatively simple tool like this one. It shouldn't be hard to get it right! I make my living with my tools and I don't have time to waste on poor quality.
Customer Rating:
Summary: best door planer available.
Comment: If you plain on hanging doors for a living, or already do so. buy this planer. it will last forever. with the finger lever you can adjust the height as you plane to help follow high and low spots.

for 3% bevels it is perfect. one other reviewer mentioned about beveling a block to help set. great idea. but it only takes a few minutes or less to adjust bevel.

I have owned it for 2 years (since 5 2003) and have hung over 300 doors.
