Makita 2012NB/2 Thicknesser, 220 V, 1650 W, 304 mm Blue Large

Product Information

Building on the success of the earlier 40200H-CT, the new model features an improved cutter-head with carbide inserts. So far in use (about two weeks) I find it a very good item. As a DIYer it is extremely useful. When you start a job its nice to get the foundations right. Some people have said that the dust removal keeps getting jammed but I have found no problem as long as you don't forget to switch on the vacuum. All in all a very good product." the tool is not an Air Compressor/ Air Tool, a Battery/ Charger, an Accessory, or a Petrol or Production Tool Although the DW735 has a better design, it does not actually have a better build quality. This is where the Makita 2012NB shines and it is really its main selling point.

A straight knife cutterhead contains several blades (two to four are typical), which are often referred to as knives. Helical models, on the other hand, use rows of small, square-shaped cutters that are affixed via inserts, making them easy to replace when needed. Helical cutterheads add to the cost, but maintain sharp cutting ability for a longer time and also make the job significantly quieter. Body TypeThe DW735X also has a two-speed gearbox that lets you switch between 96 and 179 cuts per inch (CPI).

That said, the Makita may still be a good choice for people with very limited space, or those who want to move it around regularly. Also, if you want a planer that will still work in 20 years, the Makita 2012NB is probably your best bet. One of the reasons the DW735 delivers slightly better results is that it has 3 blades compared to only 2 on the Makita. With more blades there’s less of a gap between the moment each blade hits the wood surface. If this gap is too large, it can lead to the ‘choppy’ effect you can see on many planers. So more blades leads to a better finish. Changing the blades of the DW735 Special feed rate for finishing Dust connection port. This directs the sawdust to a collection bag, preventing it from accumulating in your workspace. The DW735 is built more like a stationary planer, like those sold by Jet and Powermatic for example. It moves over four large spindles and has a much longer cast-iron table. The advantage is that it is much sturdier and has more push-down strength in all four corners. This helps keep the wood level and stable throughout the cut. The inside of one of the four steel rods Lunchbox planer design Prepare the planer before you begin, making sure that all the components and safety features are in place. This typically requires unfolding the feed tables and setting up the guide fence.So the DW735 has the sturdier design, but what about cut quality? Here the advantage is also for the DW735 over the 2012NB, although the difference is not huge. Number of blades

If you need a lot of wooden slabs for making a table, or cabinet, or some other building, DIY project, purchasing finished lumber can be quite expensive. If you want a machine that can keep up with strenuous use and demanding projects, choose the most powerful motor you can. If you primarily work with softer woods that won’t put much strain on the planer, a lower-powered motor should be fine. How We Selected Despite its compact design and lightweight, it is a surprisingly powerful unit that delivers the performance that you expect from the most efficient bench planers. Although handheld models offer the advantage of portability and convenience, bench planers are more suitable for high-volume jobs.
