Planers

Explore electric planers for DIY and professional tasks

Trade Tested’s Makita electric planers are durable and built for easy handling. Their razor-sharp blades effortlessly shave off wood for a smooth, levelled surface. Check out our 82mm 620W planer, which weighs only 2.6kg and can cut up to 2.5mm at a time. Or purchase our battery-powered 18V planer that cuts up to 2mm for effortless portability. Each planer features easily adjustable depth control, allowing you to trim your boards precisely to your requirements.

What are planers used for?

Planers are used to smooth and level out flat pieces of wood, making them easier to use in projects, visually cleaner and neater, and free of any potential for nasty splinters. The V-shaped notch in the front shoe also allows you to bevel the edges of lumber quickly for a polished look.

Why buy an electric planer?

Electric planers are a fantastic alternative to traditional hand planers for anyone who’s newer to DIY or just wants greater woodworking efficiency. They take out the trouble of sharpening the blade and require less strength to use, meaning you can prep your carpentry and furniture projects quicker and easier than ever before.
