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 DEWALT DCP580B was undoubtedly our preferred Cordless Planers. That doesn't mean there aren't a handful of other really great selections when it comes down to Cordless Planers. We have the best of them in this article.

Next on our list is made by Makita which is a very reputable tool supplier. Makita's Electric Hand Planers are no exception. I was eager to try out the model XPK01Z and I was not disappointed!

The Makita XPK01Z Electric Hand Planer, at $169.00 is an especially great Planer for the price. If you unsure about our number one selection, I'd check out the Makita XPK01Z next. It's a high quality tool at a terrific price.

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.
