You get what you pay for in these Makita tools. If you only used a crude hand plane you can use this. Yes, this quickly filled, but it was better than nothing. I wish the did include a collection bag, that's one big con. I can't imagine how long the sander would have taken.

The truth is that the DEWALT DCP580B was the Cordless Electric Hand Planers that we rated most highly. Having said that, there were several other very premium Cordless Electric Hand Planers we wanted to showcase here that just barely missed the mark.

The next in our tool break down is built by Makita which is a very credible tool brand. Makita's Electric Hand Planers are great as well. I was ready to try the model XPK01Z and I was not let down!

The model XPK01Z Electric Hand Planer by Makita, at $169.00 is an especially excellent Electric Hand Planer for the price. The Makita XPK01Z is really a sound alternative. Of you are not sure about our top choice, I'd suggest you opt for this Electric Hand Planer.

Aside from the option we researched above, I would have a look at the GHO12V-08N by Bosch and the Skil PL593802. Both these tool manufactures are regarded as some of the top makers of superior Electric Hand Planers. Both of these two options are rated highly also. The Bosch received a score of 4.7/5 when contrasted against the 4.7/5 star rating for the Skil PL593802.

The Bosch GHO12V-08N comes with a couple of features you might not experience on other similar Electric Hand Planers. For example BALANCED DESIGN: The Bosch GHO12V-08N provides an easy-to-handle, balanced cordless planer design for fast, smooth stock removal with the first 12V max planer on the market.. The Skil PL593802 however, is very competitive offering 20V WOOD PLANER KIT—Includes a PWR Core 20 4. 0Ah Lithium Battery and PWR Jump Charger. and even BRUSHLESS MOTOR—The digital brushless motor provides efficient, high-performance power, delivering up to 14, 000 RPM..

Both of these two selections are an excellent choice for someone whose shopping for Cordless Electric Hand Planers

Power is adequate for fresh cut oak rough planks. Powerful, cuts clean and smooth, easy to handle. 30 minutes of planing is around 30 gallons of chips. I wish the did include a collection bag, that's one big con. I can't imagine how long the sander would have taken.

I like quality tools that last a long time. Takes a while to get the scooping stroke down. Best of all, with the bag on it leave almost no dust at all. A solid planer and is more suited for larger timbers. It works great, particularly on irregular shapes.

I've only used this a handful of times and have been pleased. I've already given one of my other two power planers away. I rigged up a table based on videos that I watched online. 305 inch when cutting with 1/32 inch setting. I can't get too close to the floor with it.

Cool tool, planing through wood beautifully. We had to shave some doors down a small bit. I had never used a planer before so this was new to me. It's closer to the street than the house! For working with soft woods, this is a decent planer.
