From the Manufacturer Back by popular demand! A long-time favorite of carpenters, the Porta-Plane is truly an industrial-strength planer. The 7 amp motor turns the blade at 22,000 rpm for a powerful cutting action. The spiral cutter delivers a clean finish cut. A top-side, calibrated scale provides easy depth of cut adjustments. D-handle with trigger switch for easy operation. Cuts 2-13/32 inches wide by 1/32-inch deep. Bevels -15 to 45 degrees for a variety of applications. This rugged planer has 100% ball-bearing construction for a lifetime of trouble-free service. An ideal tool for finish carpenters and installers. Includes model 126 Porta-Plane, 43263 carbide-tipped spiral cutter, wrench, steel carrying case and operating manual Amazon.com When Porter-Cable recently reintroduced this popular planer, professionals everywhere rejoiced. It is widely regarded as the most solid, reliable, and effective hand planer on the market, and we heartily agree. While other tools boast speeds between 12,000 and 15,000 rpm, the Porta-Plane's beefy 7 amp motor runs at 22,000 rpm. Porter-Cable combines that power with a spiral-blade cutterhead that shaves the wood rather than chopping at it the way a straight blade does, producing smoother finished edges than those produced by other power planes. This model has a solid and true stainless-steel bed and integral fence, which bevels from 15 to 90 degrees. While most Porter-Cable tools now come in tough plastic cases, this one still ships in a big metal box. The price may seem pretty steep compared to other hand planers on the market, but in this instance you definitely get what you pay for. For pros that expect to do a whole lot of door trimming and hanging, there is no better tool available. --Brian Trinen |
