Key Features & Benefits
- 580W motor at 16,000 rpm — delivers smooth, easy planing for clean, accurate stock removal.
- 82mm (3″) planing width with 2mm max depth — covers standard timber widths and removes material quickly per pass.
- V-groove base plate — guides the planer for neat, repeatable chamfer cuts on edges and corners.
- 9mm rebate (shiplapping) capacity — lets you cut rebates for joinery and lapped joints.
- One-side chip ejection — directs shavings clear of the work and can connect to a dust bag.
- Included guide rule, blade gauge and wrench — make edge planing and blade changes straightforward.
When to Use This Planer
Reach for the M1901B for everyday planing tasks — fitting doors, dressing timber, chamfering edges and cutting rebates. It’s the value choice in the 82mm range: the KP0800 is a step up with a slightly higher 620W output, 17,000 rpm and fine click-stop depth adjustment if you want more refined control. For straightforward carpentry the M1901B does the job well.
Pro Tip: Plane with the grain and take light 0.5–1mm passes for a glass-smooth finish, saving the full 2mm depth for rough dressing — and start the cut on the front shoe before the cutter reaches the timber to avoid snipe at the leading edge.
