Makita 1911B (110794)

The Japanese company Makita has won a place in the TOP of the best manufacturers of power tools with its high quality, rich functionality, and long service life. The professional model 1911B electric planer is reliable and easy to use, although it bites at a price of $400. Let's see how it is justified.

The drum with one-sided knives rotates at a speed of 16,000 rpm, removing a layer up to 2 mm thick from wood of any degree of hardness, even and smoothing even knots. The processing width of 110 mm allows you to work with massive canvases, such as doors, floors, benches in fewer passes. The parallel stop helps to avoid the formation of a characteristic step when planing a wide board. A deep V-groove is provided for chamfering.

The pipe for removing chips requires the connection of a vacuum cleaner, so there is no dust bag in the kit. And it should also be emphasized that the tool is intended only for planing, they will not be able to select a quarter and this can be a minus for many.

As a result, we have a tool for cleaning surfaces of a large area. Robust and solid, perfect for long workshop jobs. For rare homework, it makes no sense to overpay, and somehow it didn’t work out with a sample of a quarter ...
