⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Positive depth adjustment and reversible TCT blades produce smooth, consistent shavings
- • Best for: Tradespeople and DIYers needing portable finishing and chamfering on site
- • Not ideal for: Users without access to Ryobi ONE+ batteries who need out-of-the-box cordless power
Positive depth adjustment allows micro-shaving control for fine finishes. Integrated dust pick-up works with the supplied dust bag and reversible TCT blades for extended cutting life.
Precise finishes - thanks to positive depth adjustment 0-0.4mm
Positive depth adjustment sets blade height from 0 to 0.4mm in fine increments, enabling very thin passes. The additional front handle assists micro-depth control during each pass.
Very fine material removal produces ready-to-finish surfaces without repeated sanding. Consistent depth control helps when preparing joints or trimming edges for a neat fit.
Cleaner working environment - with integrated dust pick-up and included dust bag
Integrated technology captures shavings as the cutterblock removes material, and the supplied dust bag collects debris directly from the tool. The side fence can guide cuts while keeping waste flow predictable.
Fewer stray shavings mean faster cleanup and clearer sightlines when aligning passes. A tidier workspace is safer and speeds up follow-up tasks such as sanding or finishing.
Truly portable planing - with 18V ONE+ battery compatibility
Designed for the Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery platform, with battery and charger sold separately. Cordless power enables use away from mains sockets on site or around the garden workshop.
Move between benches, job sites and awkward positions without trailing cables. Owners already invested in ONE+ batteries avoid buying a separate battery ecosystem.
