Electric hand planer

Make and model

Black and Decker 7698K-CA

Specs

  • 16,500 RPM
  • 5/64″ (1.98 mm) planing depth
  • 5/16″ (8 mm) rabbeting depth
  • 5.2 Amps

Notes

  • Not bad for some small pieces, but for larger pieces this may not be ideal in order to have a constant thickness across the width of the board. Does have a learning curve.
  • Requires some dust collection because it certainly creates a lot of debris.
  • A good place to start, but I’ll stick to the Dewalt DW735 I’ve purchased after buying this hand planer.
