Hand Planer From Porter-Cable
- By Mariko Hewer
Porter-Cable. The 6-amp hand planer (PC60THPK), which can be used with a high-speed steel blade or a carbide blade, delivers 16,500 rpm to assist users with jobs like wood plank, door, and joist planing as well as chamfering or profiling edges. The tool, which can make a 5/64-inch cut in one pass, has 11 positive stops placed every 1/16 inch up to 5/64-inch, and its 11 1/2-inch cast-aluminum shoe is equipped with three chamfer grooves for easy bevel cutting. The machine features a thick mesh filtered dust bag that can be adjusted to eject from either a right- or left-sided vacuum-compatible port on the tool. Two overmolded grips shield the user from vibrations, and a kickstand protects the blades and work surface when the planer is not in use. 888.848.5175. www.portercable.com..
