We wanted a portable planer that was lighter to carry around and finished cuts faster, but didn't lack muscle or design quality. The result was the Model G0505. This 12-1/2 in. Planer features a 2 HP motor, 10,000 RPM cutterhead, 32 FPM feed rate, top-mounted return rollers and extra-large table extensions. Additional features like 1/8 in. T knives (instead of the 1/16 in. T knives on most portables) are proof that this dynamo will rule the jobsite for years.
