The Makita 12-1/4-Inch Planer, (model KP312), is precision engineered for a even cutting, job after job. It is ideal for professional timber framers, carpenters, log home manufacturers, boat fabricators, and more. 15 AMP Power The KP312 features a 15 AMP motor that delivers 12,000 RPM for the most demanding jobs. The KP312 can plane up to 12-1/4 inches wide and 1/8 inch deep in a single pass. The non-slip long life poly “V” belt is designed to efficiently transfer power to the double-edged high-speed steel blades for consistent results. The front roller is engineered for easy moving of the planer over rough materials, and the large ejection chute provides a high rate of discharge and helps prevent clogging from wet or dry wood chips. The spring-loaded stand elevates the base to protect the blades and workpiece, and the ball bearing construction is engineered for longer tool life. Ease-of-Use Features The KP312 has several ease-of-use features, including a large, conveniently located depth setting knob for easy adjustment, and a guide rule for accurate and maximum use of planning width. The 33-foot cord is located at the top of the handle to help prevent obstruction during long and repeated passes. The rubberized front handle is designed for comfort, control, and reduced operator fatigue. Engineered for Framing and Woodworking The KP312 is engineered for professional timber framers, carpenters, log home manufacturers, boat fabricators and general contractors seeking a best-in-class 12-1/4-inch Planer.
