DEWALT DCP580B 20V MAX Brushless Planer Review

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the DEWALT DCP580B 20V MAX Brushless Planer and I must say, I was very impressed. This is a professional grade planer that delivers a lot of power and performance, making it ideal for anyone looking for a reliable tool to use for all their woodworking tasks.

The first thing I noticed was how lightweight this planer is. It only weighs 6.8 pounds which makes it easy to maneuver around the work surface or even carry with you when needed. The ergonomically designed handle also provides greater comfort and less user fatigue when using the planer for extended periods of time.

The electric hand planer features a brushless motor that provides both power and runtime, allowing you to achieve a fast removal rate with up to 30,000 cuts per minute. The maximum depth of cut is 5/64 inch 2 mm. , and there s a calibrated depth adjustment knob that allows you to adjust the depth in increments of 1/256 inch 0.01 mm. . The precision machined front and back aluminum shoes ensure parallelism of cut, so you get consistent results each time. There s also a precision machined groove in the front shoe, which allows for edge chamfering if needed.

In addition, the poly V drive belt provides increased belt durability, making it easier to use on heavier stock materials. And there s also a kickstand which allows you to rest the planer on the work surface without gouging or damaging the material.

Overall, this is an excellent choice for anyone who needs a reliable planer that can handle heavy workloads without sacrificing performance or accuracy. It s easy to use and has great features like adjustable depths, chamfering grooves, kickstands and more. Plus, it s lightweight design makes it perfect for taking with you on jobsites or around your workshop without any hassle. Highly recommended!
