The Makita 1806B electric planer is a professional woodworking tool with 1200 W input power and a generous 170 mm planing width. It smooths beams, planks and doors in a single pass, while the adjustable depth up to 2 mm handles both heavy stock removal and fine finishing. It ships in a wooden case with blades, guides and a change wrench.

170 mm planing width for large workpieces

The Makita 1806B removes material across a 170 mm width in a single pass. That covers beams, thick planks and doors without overlapping strips, so work moves fast and the surface comes out flat.

Adjustable 0–2 mm depth for rough and fine work

The front knob on the Makita 1806B sets the planing depth from 0 to 2 mm. A deeper cut clears excess quickly, while a shallow pass leaves a finishing surface — one tool covers the whole job from stock removal to smoothing.

Wooden case and guides included

The Makita 1806B comes with a blade set, guides, holder and change wrench in a sturdy wooden case. The guides keep the tool parallel to the edge for accurate rebates and consistent results, with everything stored together for transport.
