Review of the Makita KP0800 82mm Planer (plus demo)

[TheForza1000]

Just bought the 4mm heavy duty version with dust bag to replace my 20 year old Hitachi s20 and it is easily as good, i have always used Makita tools and never had any issues with them.

Used the hitachi practically every day and am amazed it has lasted so long, i am expecting similar from the Makita....it looks tough and well made and at £200 its a bargain..

[kamis4189]

[s37d]

i dunno if id trust a celt with a power planer

@s37d why not?

Great machine, looks like they worked out the bugs from the older model (Adjustment knob sucked).

We want a lith cordless planer and router for doors. Must be Makita for their excellent 18v batteries. Please pass this on to your makita rep. cheers.
