The Makita 3-1/4-Inch Planer, model KP0810, delivers power, cutting capacity and ease of use. It is ideal for professional construction framing, window and door installation, and fine woodworking. 7.5 AMP Power The KP0810 features a 7.5 AMP motor that delivers more output power, with a two-blade cutter head and 16,000 RPM for increased stock removal. The KP0810 is equipped with double edge carbide blades for added performance, and can plane up to 3-1/4 inch wide and 5/32-inch deep in a single pass. The rigid die-cast aluminum housing with all ball bearing construction is engineered for long tool life and supports the planer drum for increased durability. Ease-of-Use Features The KP0810 weighs only 7.3 pounds for a high power-to-weight ratio, with an ergonomically-centered balance and rubberized front and rear handles for more comfortable operation. The spring loaded stand elevates the base to protect the blades and workpiece. The chip ejection can be directed to either side of the tool. The depth adjust knob features an easy-to-read scale with click stops in 0.1 millimeter increments for precision planning, and the front base features three chamfering groove options: approximately 1.4 millimeter, 3 millimeter and 4 millimeter.
