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

Product Information

There are a few variations of this plane, including the duplex rebate plane, which has two locations for the blade: one in the middle of the body for normal cutting and one at the front to allow cutting into corners. In the latter mode, the duplex rebate plane is similar to a bullnose plane. 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 Making use of a powerful brushless motor, you can get up to 15,000 rpm from the cutting blades. It really squeezes out every last drop of torque, and all without needing to change brushes. The rubberised handle is comfortable and helps to keep your hand at the optimum working angle. 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. 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.

This is particularly valuable when working across the grain of the wood, when the action of the iron’s cutting edge alone might tear the wood as cutting starts. A stopped rebate does not go the full width or length of the wood it is cut into – it stops short of one edge. When viewed from the front of a piece of furniture, the stopped joint is invisible.

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. These rebates are known as fillisters, which is why rebate planes based on the type used for this purpose are often referred to as fillister planes.The depth stop prevents the plane cutting any deeper when the cutting edge of the iron reaches the desired depth of the rebate.

You can certainly go for a cordless electric planer too, although speed can be somewhat slower for these (10,000-15,000rpm). Another application used to be the cutting of rebates for the glass and putty in sash windows – the type that have one or two frames, or “sashes”, that can be slid up and down for opening. 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 is 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. [ citation needed] Use [ edit ]A ny power planer should feel comfortable to hold and use. They typically weigh between 2.5 and 3kg. 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 & Technique

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. The rebate plane (British English) or rabbet plane (American English) is a hand plane designed for cutting rebates/ 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. [ citation needed] Description [ edit ] Also, look for reversible planer blades with a sharp edge on both sides that can be flipped through 180° for longer life. 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 550 Watt motor spins up the single cutting blade to an impressive 19,500 rpm and you can plane up to 1.5mm per pass. There’s a “parking rest” on the rear shoe to avoid damaging the workbench as well. Just like the “blue” professional Bosch planer, there’s just one Woodrazor cutting blade to worry about. Adjusting it with the included hex key is a simple operation.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. Forming part of Bosch’s “green” line of DIY level tools, the PHO 1500 is a formidable bit of kit. It won’t take as much of a bite out of your wallet either. 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 rebate plane is one of a group of planes, including the shoulder plane, bullnose plane and carriage makers plane, in which the blade protrudes by a very small amount - usually less than half a millimetre - from the sides of the plane body on both sides. The blade is very slightly wider than the body of the plane. The reason for the slight protrusion of the blade is so that the plane body does not bind on the side of the cut, which would result in the side wall of the rabbet not being perpendicular to the bottom. In addition to the benefits of a standard rebate plane, a well set up fenced plane, such as a moving fillister plane, can give you fantastic pace, when it comes to repetition, with several of the same joint to cut.

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. The large 710 Watt motor spins up the single cutting blade to an impressive 18,000 rpm. You can adjust the planing depth down to 2.6mm. The spring-loaded “parking foot” keeps the fixed rear shoe up off the workpiece. This helps to avoid taking chunks out of your workbench when you put it down. It’s used for increasing the size of rebates and grooves. For instance, if a groove to hold a shelf has been cut, and it proves to be slightly too narrow, no ordinary form of rebate plane could be used to enlarge the groove – you have to use a side rebate plane, which cuts the inside edges rather than the bottom of the rebate. Some rebate planes have skewed cutting edges on their irons, which can be a great help when cutting end grain. If you want to spend a bit extra for a planer without annoying power cables, the Makita DKP180Z is for you. Making use of the Japanese tool masters’ brilliant LXT 18V technology, you can go “off grid” when you need to. It performs as well as most corded planers too.
