Triton 750W Unlimited Rebate Planer 82mm TRPUL (837520)

Product Information

Also, look for reversible planer blades with a sharp edge on both sides that can be flipped through 180° for longer life. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Planes that don’t have a guide or fence can be guided initially by a piece of straight wood clamped to the top of the workpiece.

A rebate joint is rather like a butt joint, in which the flat surfaces of two pieces of wood are fastened together, often with glue, but it is made stronger because of the rebate. One thing that distinguishes the rebate plane and its derivatives, such as shoulder and bullnose planes, is that the iron goes the full width of the sole to enable planing downwards, straight and quite deeply, into the wood without the sides of the plane preventing progress. The rebate plane commonly has a depth stop and a fence, which allows the width and depth of the rabbet to be gauged. They also are commonly equipped with a spur, which is designed to score the wood as the rabbet is cut, giving a cleaner corner. This is particularly valuable when working across the grain. [1] History [ edit ]The 620 Watt motor spins up the twin cutting blades up to 34,000 cuts per minute (CPM) at 17,000 rpm. You can adjust the planing depth down to 2mm. The adjustable front shoe has a neat “V” groove for chamfer cuts. And the rear fixed shoe features a spring-loaded catch to help avoid damaging the workpiece. Starting with the build quality. It’s a nicely put together bit of kit that’s heavy enough at 2.8 kg to feel solid in the hand. But it’s not so weighty that it’ll slow you down. The handle is at the best angle and rubberised for a positive, comfortable grip. The trigger and safety button work smoothly, and the depth adjuster is easy to read and turn. The brushed motor delivers 14,000 rpm and can cut to a maximum depth of 2mm per pass. It has a maximum rebate depth of 9mm and can cut up to 82mm wide. Thanks to a pair of quality double-edged carbide blades, it cuts smooth. It even performs well when you drop the depth down past a few tenths of a millimetre. Left or right rear dust extraction allows the dust/chips to be directed to either side of the workpiece

The rebate plane (also known as the rabbet plane) is a hand plane designed for cutting rebates in wood. As with most hand planes, there are metal and wooden versions. The rebate plane (also known as the rabbet plane) is a hand plane designed for cutting rabbets in wood. It's a simple tool used in many Western countries with hundreds of years of history. It was in use in England at least as early as the 11th century.

Planing and rebate depths are features you should definitely factor in when choosing an electric planer. The best cordless and electric planers have a planning depth per pass of around 2-3mm and a maximum rebate depth of 9-12mm. The first thing to note about this planer is the handle. It’s comfortable and uses Ryobi’s signature rubberised GripZone found on most of their tools. It makes up for the fact that this is a heavier planer than some on my list at 3.1kg. It’s not too heavy, but you can feel the difference over longer sessions. Some rebate planes have skewed cutting edges on their irons, which can be a great help when cutting end grain. It’s important that you understand how the fillister plane works, and put time and care in to getting that set up just right, if you want those accurate and repeatable joints. The guide rail slides along the straight edge of the workpiece, keeping the plane on the correct path to cut the rebate to exactly the right width.

The depth stop prevents the plane cutting any deeper when the cutting edge of the iron reaches the desired depth of the rebate. In use though we have to be careful not to think of it as a standard rebate / rabbet plane, or we’ll be going wrong before we’ve started. The best electric planers should be powerful yet precise enough to shave fine slithers off a piece of wood with minimum vibration and noise. The fence and depth stops of the fillister plane mean you’ll only need to mark out for one rebate joint, and the settings on the plane allow you to cut the same joint over and over. The Moving Fillister Plane – Set Up & TechniqueIt can cut up to 2mm per pass in softwood and up to 1mm in hardwood. There’s a cutting width of 82mm and a maximum rebate depth of 9mm. It also has a 0.1mm increment depth adjustment, controlled by a chunky front dial that doubles up as a grippy handle. The DKP180Z looks like the KP0800. It features the same comfortable anti-vibration grip and accurate depth adjustment. The build quality is what you’d expect from Makita: tough, refined, and easy to use. More and more power tools are becoming battery-powered. Thanks to powerful 18V battery systems, even hard-working tools such as planers can be used “off-grid”. Cutting annoying cords has set professional carpenters and savvy DIYers free to plane wherever they want. Cutting speeds are generally slower and they’re heavy when high Ah batteries are installed, however. Planing Depth
