The makita wood planer and cutting machine's high-end materials makes sure that it ages well with use. This tool is designed to plane only one big board and 100 bf of lumber. It''s just that it shaves stuff off in 64ths, which is GREAT. It features include a spring-loaded stand to elevate the base and protect the blades and work piece. The tools are ALL, SO, quiet, you can hear the wood being cut by the blade, the teeth, or whatever.
The precision machined aluminum base is engineered for increased planning accuracy. It''s more than adequate for removing wood which is the only material you should use it on. The depth setting adjustment worked great, and the bases are coplanar to each other. The cordless feature makes this work much easier and although the 3-1/4" width required multiple passes, cleanup with a belt sander is far faster than sanding alone. It comes with a charger, battery and a case or bag.
