I have a Sears Craftsman hand power plane (see photo) I bought on a whim back in the 80's... Never used it much until recently when I started turning some bowls from green logs. After splitting the log in half, I use the power plane to quickly smooth the split surface before mounting a faceplate. Works so much faster than using a hand plane... Just curious if anyone else is using a hand power plane for preparing bowl blanks? Thanks!
