I have a lot invested in Milwaukee m18 line but, with them raising there prices on almost everything and the far to expensive price there putting on there new releases I'm really thinking about going to another brand for all new tool purchases and Makita is where I would go. I had a commercial millwork shop many years, long before battery tools even came out and had many brands of electric tools back when Porter Cable made good quality tools that lasted and Makita were also good. They were the first to come out with there 70# 14" miter saw, almost 40 years later I still have the first one of those miter saws I bought , the brake has been replaced a few times and the brushes but it still works good even now. I sold a lot of stuff back when I retired but Makita tools are very good quality and really last if maintained a little bit.

Having a good brake does not eliminate the need for the safety foot, on this planer or any other. It’s main function is to protect the planer’s blades from damage and chipping when setting the tool down. Regarding your difficulties and complaints with the dust port system, page 12 from the user manual: “Chip discharge direction can be changed to the right or left. To change the direction, pull out the stopper while turning it slightly backward.” They even have a big picture with arrows showing you which ways to turn and pull. Hopefully you guys won’t Chip any more fingernails.

Of all the tools I've used in Timberframe and finish carpentry, Makita has by far the best quality fit and finish and smoothest "feel" comparatively to other brands I've used when it comes to planers. Also, to my knowledge, Makita is the only manufacturer of the monster 12 1/4" hand held beam planer and curved shoe. The Dewalt has a very good battery platform and huge power but, after using their 3 1/4" cordless planer, it feels like a fisher price toy compared to the Makita. Rob you guys gotta do a cordless planer head to head!

I guess no one sets these up for accuracy, they seem to only be used for large, hacking passes. I found one shipwright who actually had used the tools and showed how to set them up so they cut accurately. He said most of the depth adjustment mechanisms made the planer cut one side more than the other. Maybe I will have to buy one and be ready to return it if it can't be accurately adjusted. For this much money, I would think people wouldn't just be using this Makita as a hack tool.

Its kind of ironic to see a cordless tool pluged into a vacuum hose...just use a cord while your at it. Im kidding, of course but it looks funny to me. I have my share of cordless tools but i feel like the push by manufacturers for us to "cut the cord " is a bit if a scam. Their mark up on the batteries is so high that i feel THAT is their real motivation. I have corded tools that have had little more than the cord replaced after years of abuse. Yet after a few years i have to replace all my expensive batteries because the tools dont work as well as when the batteries were new.
@mr.c66744 жыл бұрын
I get your point, but consider the cost of knockoff batteries. They are indeed less money, so you can buy those instead. However, you may not get the same durability and longevity of the OEM. So to me, that says something positive about the batteries made by Makita, DeWalt, etc. You're spending money on a consumable that will work without issue. Another thing to consider is we don't know what their markup is to say it's high or not. I'm not arguing against your point because I've had the same thoughts about Gillette Mach 3 replacement blades. So much so I was on a 3-5 year hunt until I finally decided to go old school with the double edge razors. I LOVE them and have saved hundreds of dollars. Though I won't be going old school on these tools and do it by hand 😀🥴

Is this planer still your goto planer? I'm looking for something to help flatten out bumps in subfloor before laying actual floor. So far ryobi and milwaukee cordless planers lasted only a few days during a big project with especially warped subfloor. Ryobi was especially bad because it doesn't take heavy duty blades, and the whole thing eventually just shattered. Milwaukee takes big blades and was doing a decent job with those, powering through really bad uneven ridges and occasional nail here and there until it completely seized on day 2 due to being pushed too hard. We also have a corded makita planer and it's great and has been through a lot and still working like a champ. But I don't like the lack of electrical break and just in general would like to eventually find a heavy duty cordless option that can take the extreme abuse flooring guys put their tools through. Thanks.
