Makita DKP181Z 18V Li-ion Cordless Brushless AWS Planer – Skin Only

The Makita DKP181Z is a heavy-duty cordless planer built for power, precision, and efficiency on the jobsite. With its high-performance brushless motor, it delivers an impressive 3mm maximum cutting depth and up to 25mm shiplapping cuts, making it the perfect choice for professional carpenters, builders, and cabinet makers.

Equipped with Automatic Torque Drive (ADT™), the planer automatically adjusts speed and torque depending on the load, ensuring optimal cutting performance in every pass. For added safety and control, it features an electric blade brake that stops the blade instantly after release, and a protective foot on the base plate to prevent accidental damage to your workpiece.

The DKP181Z is also AWS (Auto-Start Wireless System) ready, allowing it to wirelessly connect to a compatible Bluetooth dust extractor (receiver sold separately) for on-demand dust collection — keeping your workspace cleaner and safer. With three chamfering grooves, dual chip ejection, and a lightweight 3kg design, this planer is engineered for both precision finishing and heavy-duty timber removal.
