Are you new to carpentry or cabinetmaking? Then, you need an electric DeWalt planer! Indeed, the DeWalt planer is essential for woodworking by making planings, that is, by drawing a flat and smooth surface on the wood. When you start the electric planer, it must be moved so as to work on the entire surface in the same direction.
Features of the DeWalt 18v Planer
The vast majority of planers offer a width of cut of 82 mm. The difference between the models is found in the quality of the tool and in the following characteristics:
- The power determines the performance of a device to plane with ease any species of wood. The less powerful model will stop short in oak.
- The depth of cut measures the amount of material removed, from 2 to 4 mm.
- The standard set pass width of 82 mm (from 60 mm up to more than 180 mm) determines the maximum width of the pieces of wood that you can plane.
Moreover, the DeWalt cordless planer has several functions and allows for making rabbets, flattening the wood, digging moldings or grooves, preparing edges, etc.
Specs of the DeWalt Battery Planer
The DeWalt battery planer has a metal blade fitted in a plastic body, which lets the cutting edge protrude. It is obviously more efficient and faster than the manual hand plane.
Also, such planers are equipped with a capacious 18v battery, which provides a rather long operation period for the tool. Besides, it should be noted that the power of the battery is enough to power the planer even when working with hardwoods.
It is also worth mentioning the AirLock system, which can significantly reduce dust emissions and make work more comfortable. What’s more, the planer can be connected to an external collector saw, and dust pollution is kept to a minimum.
