FrosBros82 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Anyone have any advice on corded hand planners? I have heard good things about DeWalt's and very good things about Makita's... just looking into getting something new. Both seem to be about the $150.00 or so mark. Thanks, FB82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Try out Bosch too. They have a great planer and the guys just posted a video including their new planer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the input! Actually, I am pretty sure the Bosch is about $50.00 cheaper or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Makita's kp0800 or kp0810 are both very very good kp0800 Can take off 2.5 mm and the kp0810 Can take off 4 mm in 1 pass.Both of these Models still use 2 blades which isnt always the case anymore with some Brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrosBros82 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks for the input, have only heard good things about Makita's model. Ill re-post when I make a decision and actually buy the tool, FB82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanp292 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks for the input, have only heard good things about Makita's model. Ill re-post when I make a decision and actually buy the tool, FB82I have that same Makita model and really like it. Blades are easy to get at most Home Depot stores. The only thing I do not like is that it doesn't come with a dust bag. I know most people hook up a shop vac or dust collector, but you won't be able to do that without an adaptor since the dust chute is oval in shape. I picked the adaptor and dust bag off of amazon for around $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
