The Makita DKP181 brushless planer has been designed for building and construction type applications, with a high power brushless motor providing power equal to that of AC models.

The DKP181 is also part of the Makita Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) system – with the optional wireless unit (sold separately), a wireless connection can be made between the tool and an AWS supported vacuum for wirelessly enabling the vacuum to operate when the tool trigger is engaged.

• 3mm cutting depth – high powered brushless motor allows up to a maximum 3mm cutting depth
• 25mm shiplapping cuts – housing design has been re-engineered to allow for up to a 25mm cutting depth
• 3 chamfering grooves – easy chamfering by aligning the groove with the edge of the workpiece. 3 different size grooves allow for different groove dimensions
• Electric blade brake – blade rapidly stops after the trigger has been released, preventing user injury or damage to the workpiece
• Automatic torque Driver Technology (ADT) – automatically changes the cutting speed according to the load conditions for optimum operation
• Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) enable (requires wireless unit - sold separately)
• Left & right chip ejection – easily divert the wood chips either left or right by adjusting the ejection cover plate to the preferred side
• Foot on base plate – protects the workpiece from scratches and damage by raising the base off the work material when not in operation
