Festool HL 850 Planer Review by Jory Brigham

Well, not so much a review as just his commentary about how he uses it and the benefits of the rustic heads.

Very informative. I especially appreciate the still shot near the end showing the results of using the two blades side by side on the same timber.

I want one of those rustic heads but I just dont have a project to use it on ..yet.

But I do have one in mind thats on my list to do.

The rustic heads really give a nice effect.

Can you use the rustic blades in the standard head? I'm thinking the answer is no but figured I would ask. [embarassed]

No each head is different and will only accept the blades designed for it.

Thanks. That would explain why when I bought mine used there was a rustic blade included that was unused since only the standard head was with it. [huh]
