CAT DX86 Power+ electric planer 900W 82mm 3mm DX86

The CAT DX86 Power+ is a mains-powered electric hand planer with a 900 W motor, designed for fast and accurate removal of wood. Its maximum cutting depth of 3 mm and 82 mm planing width make it suitable for working hardwood, while the precise depth adjustment and two-way chip ejection keep the workspace cleaner. An oscillating dust extraction system is also fitted.

The high no-load speed of 16,000 rpm helps produce smooth surfaces, including in oak or acacia. The rebate function is useful for steps and door or window frames, and the V-grooves in the sole assist with 45-degree chamfering of edges. At 2.8 kg, the tool is relatively light to handle.

The package includes a parallel guide, a rebate depth stop, a dust bag or vacuum adapter, and a fork spanner. For the best finish, removing several thin layers of 0.5 to 1 mm is recommended. Check the wood for nails before starting to protect the blade.
