Unlimited rabbeting

Using an electric planer right up to the edge or on rabbets often produces unsatisfactory results, as the machine leaves a lip that has to be removed by hand—unless you have the Festool HL 850 planer. The HL 850 lets you cut flush to an adjacent surface because it can plane across the entire width of the rabbet. Because the planer head is mounted to one side, it sits flush with the opposite side of the planer housing. The retractable side guard makes planing safer, and it swings up and to the side as the rabbet depth increases. Planing up to the edge in deep rabbets is no longer a problem.

Single Knife Cutter Head

Spiral, metal carbide, cutter head design with replaceable cutting knife for a smooth, “chatter-free” cut.

Interchangable Heads
For different effects from distressed to hand-hewn textured effects.
(Several different heads avail)

Converts To A Jointer
With the addition of a bench unit stand and angle stop, the HL 850 becomes a stationary jointer for working edges.

Unlimited Rabbeting Depth
The planer head allows you to work right up to the edge.
