Parallel and rebate guides support accurate trimming along edges and grooves. Compact cordless design suits light-to-medium planing tasks where portability matters.
Consistently straight edges - with the parallel guide
Parallel guide attaches to the workpiece to keep the cutter aligned during successive passes, reducing wander and variation. Guide use ensures each pass removes material evenly along a straight run.
Produce clean, straight edges without repeated measuring or fiddly corrections, ideal when trimming door edges or skirting boards.
Reliable depth control for rebates - with the rebate guide
Rebate guide allows precise setting of planing depth so the cutter only removes a controlled amount of material. Depth stops prevent accidental overcuts when working to fixed rebates.
Set up quickly for door rebates or step cuts and complete each rebate consistently, cutting back on rework.
Cleaner, more comfortable sessions - with removable dust bag and soft-grip handle
Removeable dust bag collects shavings to reduce airborne debris while the soft-grip handle reduces grip strain during extended use. The ergonomic handle improves control when working along edges.
Work for longer with less fatigue and leave the bench tidier, making follow-up sanding and finishing easier.
