DeWALT DCP580N XR Brushless Cordless Planer - 18V Li-ion - Yellow 18W

Product Information

More and more power tools are becoming battery-powered. Thanks to powerful 18V battery systems, even hard-working tools such as planers can be used “off-grid”. Cutting annoying cords has set professional carpenters and savvy DIYers free to plane wherever they want. Cutting speeds are generally slower and they’re heavy when high Ah batteries are installed, however. Planing Depth It can cut up to 2mm per pass in softwood and up to 1mm in hardwood. There’s a cutting width of 82mm and a maximum rebate depth of 9mm. It also has a 0.1mm increment depth adjustment, controlled by a chunky front dial that doubles up as a grippy handle. A ny power planer should feel comfortable to hold and use. They typically weigh between 2.5 and 3kg. If you want to spend a bit extra for a planer without annoying power cables, the Makita DKP180Z is for you. Making use of the Japanese tool masters’ brilliant LXT 18V technology, you can go “off grid” when you need to. It performs as well as most corded planers too.

The brushed motor delivers 14,000 rpm and can cut to a maximum depth of 2mm per pass. It has a maximum rebate depth of 9mm and can cut up to 82mm wide. Thanks to a pair of quality double-edged carbide blades, it cuts smooth. It even performs well when you drop the depth down past a few tenths of a millimetre. You can certainly go for a cordless electric planer too, although speed can be somewhat slower for these (10,000-15,000rpm). The first thing to note about this planer is the handle. It’s comfortable and uses Ryobi’s signature rubberised GripZone found on most of their tools. It makes up for the fact that this is a heavier planer than some on my list at 3.1kg. It’s not too heavy, but you can feel the difference over longer sessions.Introducing the Dewalt DCP580N 18V XR 82mm Brushless Planer, designed to deliver unparalleled planing performance without the constraints of cords. Its powerful brushless motor ensures smooth planing combined with extended runtime, making it a go-to tool for woodworking enthusiasts.The DCP580N allows for a maximum planing depth of 2mm in a single pass, with a rebate cut depth of 9mm.

Also, look for reversible planer blades with a sharp edge on both sides that can be flipped through 180° for longer life. Powerful brushless motor produces a max 3200spm no load speed, 26mm stroke length with a max 135mm cutting capacity in wood max 25mm cutting capacity in aluminium The large 710 Watt motor spins up the single cutting blade to an impressive 18,000 rpm. You can adjust the planing depth down to 2.6mm. The spring-loaded “parking foot” keeps the fixed rear shoe up off the workpiece. This helps to avoid taking chunks out of your workbench when you put it down. Surprisingly, the adjustable front shoe comes complete with three different depth V-shaped chamfer grooves. You might think this feature only exists on the best electric planers, but here it is on a relatively inexpensive tool. And at just 2.4kg, it’s a lightweight power tool to use as well.

There’s one thing you can count on in woodworking- if the tool is loud, spins fast and removes a lot of material, there’s going to be a lot of sawdust. It goes everywhere and gets into everything, so having an effective way to remove this stuff is vital. The all new 18V XR Brushless Jigsaw featuring new XR Litium-ion technology now upgraded with a brushless motor for increased runtime and performance. Dual LED's illuminate the workpiece in low-light situations and a built-in dust blower keep the workpiece free from debris for the most accurate cut.

Lightweight - only 3.1 Kg with battery, weighted towards the front of the trigger to reduce any physical strain during use position pendulum action controls the aggressiveness or smoothness of cuts, tool free adjustable shoe with anti-scratch cover bevels to 47 in both directions. The 620 Watt motor spins up the twin cutting blades up to 34,000 cuts per minute (CPM) at 17,000 rpm. You can adjust the planing depth down to 2mm. The adjustable front shoe has a neat “V” groove for chamfer cuts. And the rear fixed shoe features a spring-loaded catch to help avoid damaging the workpiece.

Although they’re probably better known for their battery-operated power tools, Japan’s Ryobi make one of the best corded planers, the RPN780-S. It’s a powerful tool that can remove a serious amount of material when it needs to. Making use of a powerful brushless motor, you can get up to 15,000 rpm from the cutting blades. It really squeezes out every last drop of torque, and all without needing to change brushes. The rubberised handle is comfortable and helps to keep your hand at the optimum working angle. Cordless electric planers are more versatile but they are also more expensive, not least thanks to the cost of a battery and charger.

Planing wood is the secret to tight-fitting joinery, glass-like wood surfaces and getting your doors to fit properly after having new carpets fitted. Let’s see how they can do what they do: Mains Operated and Battery Powered Planers

Forming part of Bosch’s “green” line of DIY level tools, the PHO 1500 is a formidable bit of kit. It won’t take as much of a bite out of your wallet either. The DKP180Z looks like the KP0800. It features the same comfortable anti-vibration grip and accurate depth adjustment. The build quality is what you’d expect from Makita: tough, refined, and easy to use.
