Makita DKP181U 18v Brushless Planer (All Versions)

The Makita DKP181U features AWS which allows wireless connection to a compatible Bluetooth vacuum for on demand dust extraction, providing a cleaner & safer work environment.

The DKP181U 18v planer features a brushless motor which allows around 30% more run-time over conventional brushed motors and produces less heat and requires no maintenance. With an 82mm width cutting bed and a maximum cutting depth of 3mm, this unit has the power and performance to replace a corded machine. ATD (automatic torque drive) changes the cutting speed according to load conditions for optimum planing, and the soft start motor prevents snatching on startup. Other features include an electric brake, left and right-handed chip ejection and a spring-loaded stand that elevates the base to protect the blades and workpiece.

This professional planer is suitable for carpenters, joiners and general builders and is covered by the 3-year warranty scheme subject to online registration.
