What can an Electric Planer do?
Electric planers shave and shape wood like a hand plane, a belt sander and a jointer all combined into one. A power planer's primary function is to smooth the surface of wood, but it can also be used to smooth wood's rough end grain. It's also used for tapering wood. This article shows you how to get the most out of your power planer: leveling joists, making stubborn doors close easily and building projects in your workshop.
Components of a power planer
- RUBBERIZED HANDLE: Ergonomics and ease of use is very important when it comes to tools like this, thus the DEKO DKEP900 is fitted with the soft rubberized handle to make handling very easy, and it's well balanced in the center as well.
- DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB: Adjusting depth is very easy as the DKEP900 is equipped with an easy to read depth adjustment dial with click stops at increments of 0.1. The planer depth can be adjusted from 0 to 3mm. To increase the planing depth, turn the depth adjustment knob clockwise.
- LOCK-ON BUTTON: The planer is also equipped with a conveniently located lock-on button so you can work continuously with it without holding on to the button.
- Exhaust Port: An exhaust port allows you to collect dust and chips from the planer, making it very easy to operate.
Features of DEKO Planers
DKEP900 220V Electric Planer equips double insulation and a single-phase series motor that has been designed primarily for smoothing and cutting wood. With a no-load speed of 16,000 rpm, the planer produces around 30,000 cuts per minute ensuring the smoothest finish on the material you're working on.
EASY TO CARRY: Soft rubberized handle is comfortable to grip and it makes shaving easier. Electric planers vibrate and chatter a lot, and every bit of comfort helps.
MANY ACCESSORIES: With a variety of accessories, the planer can be used under more circumstances and the work efficiency can be greatly improved.
Adjustable planing depth. The planing depth can be adjusted according to your specific needs. Depth scales are crucial to controlling the finish that your planer will impart on the wood. Setting it deeper will cut off more material, while shallower passes are more suitable for a final trim before sanding.
Equipped with Dust bag. Suction bags or similar aspiration features collect most ejected chips and shavings into bags. You can also connect the unit to a vacuum cleaner with an adapter.

Is an electric planer worth it?
Although a good handplane is enough for sneaking up on a final dimension, an electric planer is actually safer for getting a straight edge on longer pieces than a medium sized jointer which is limited by infeed and outfeed table lengths. So, yes, a good quality electric planer has uses in a woodworking shop. Overall, the DKEP900 is definitely one of the best electric planers you can get your hands on right now. It's powerful, it's ergonomic, easy to operate and the performance is top notch.
