About this product
This Makita Wood Planer has a high power-to-weight ratio, weighing in at only 5.7 lbs. The 6.5 AMP motor delivers more output power for fast material removal, and the two-blade cutter head with 17,000 RPM delivers a smooth finish. This power tool can plane up to 3-1/4" wide and 3/32" deep in a single pass, and has a lock-on button for continuous operation. The high quality poly-v belt provides added durability.
This unit features an easy blade setting system for fast blade installation, a rigid die-cast aluminum housing with all-ball bearing construction for longer tool life, a precision machined aluminum base for planing accuracy, a machined aluminum and balanced planer drum for reduced vibration and added durability, and comes directly to you equipped with double edge carbide blades for added performance.
A click depth adjustment knob with easy-to-read scale with settings from 0" to 3/32" (0.1mm increments) gives the user precise depth adjustments. An ergonomically centered balance with rubberized front and rear handles gives the user added comfort.
A spring-loaded stand elevates the base to protect the blades and work piece. This planer can also be equipped with large, high speed steel blades (optional accessory).
