Planing Applications.
This planer is capable of leaving a smooth surface while removing a full 9/64" of material from hard maple in a single pass. Use the optional bench unit with the planer for working with smaller pieces. By freeing up both hands, the workpiece is easier to control. A spiral blade makes chatter-free cuts that are ready to glue or finish without the need to sand, and blade changes are simple, given that there is only one self-aligning blade.
The special design of the cutterhead allows it to cut flush with the side of the tool, allowing you to make unlimited rabbet cuts on wood edges, and the built-in groove on the base plate simplifies chamfer cuts. Multiple cutting heads are available for creating different rustic effects, and as with most Festool tools, dust extraction ports are incorporated to make cleanup fast and easy.
