A planer is term that’s applied to many different kinds of construction power tools. A planer is basically a special tool that’s used to make a surface flat and very smooth. That material can be wood or metal. A Makita planer is a special line of Makita planer tools. A makita planer blade is the blade you use with the Makita planer. These blades wear out and must be replaced.

There are basically five different planer options to choose from.

The largest Makita planner is the 12-1/4 planer. This has a powerful 5 amp motor that spins at more than 12k RPM. No matter how large the job, this planer will perform. It has special grooves that allow the motor to power the blades more efficiently. The handle is rubber so it offers superior grip and stability. The cord itself is long, clocking in at 33 feet.

The second planer is the Makita 12 inch planer. This is a smaller planer than the larger model, but it’s not as heavy. This makes it a good compromise for people who want a planer that can be used for big jobs but one that’s not too heavy to transport. This planer is the quickest to change the blade with and has special noise reduction technology. It’s the quietest planner in the Makita line-up.

The Makita 4-3/8 planer is a special curved base planer. This tool has two handles for even more precise control. The front grip is larger so you can get even more precision. This planer has a button that can be locked so the planer can be used without stopping.

For more portability, you might want to look at getting the Makita 4-3/8 planer. This is a small device that has a compact 7 amp motor. The planer is light because it’s crafted out of aluminum and it has a ball bearing construction so the devices life span is longer.

The last electric planer offered in the Makita line up is the 3-1/4 Makita planer. This is a very powerful planer but one that’s also lightweight. The motor is 7.5 amps and features 16000 RPM’s. The weight is only 7lbs. For maximum comfort, the handle has been designed to fit the human shape of a hand.
