MAKITA DKP180Z 18V Cordless Planer

The MAKITA DKP180Z 18V Cordless Planer is a battery-powered handheld planer with an 82 mm maximum planing width. Powered by an 18 V battery, it is intended for cordless woodworking rather than operation from a mains lead. That format allows the tool to be taken to fitted workpieces and locations where a socket is not close to the job. The planer is designed to trim, smooth and size wooden workpieces by cutting across the face or edge. Practical applications include fitting doors, levelling boards and correcting timber edges during assembly. It is positioned for professional workshops, construction sites and demanding DIY woodworking projects.

The soft-grip handle and ergonomic design provide a controlled holding point while the planer is moved over the timber. Handheld construction makes it suitable for working on a mounted door or individual board without feeding stock through a stationary machine. The housing combines black and blue sections. Its cordless form also removes the need to manage a power cable across the cutting path. The layout focuses on portable timber adjustment rather than bench-mounted processing.

• 14,000 RPM no-load speed: maintains a consistent cutter speed during planing.
• 2 mm maximum cutting depth: removes up to 2 mm of material in one pass.
• 9 mm maximum rebating depth: supports edge-shoulder cuts in timber.
• Integrated V-grooves: provide guidance when bevelling workpiece edges.
• 3.4 kg tool weight: balances portability with a stable handheld form.
• Battery protection system: helps prevent power loss and extend battery life.
