Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Safe, simple and superb

GMC’s compact and slim planer with magnesium construction is a light, easy-to-handle machine that includes all the features of a conventional sized planer and more.

Adjustable depth planing

Easy to control and use with one hand, the PPM 420 watt Palm Planer has a 60 mm planing width that is ideal for fast material removal on small to medium-sized workpieces. Up to 1.5 mm of material can be removed in one pass, making this tool a great option for DIY dabblers, hardcore enthusiasts or trade professionals. The adjustable planing depth and the cast base with 3 bevelling grooves ensures flatness and improves cutting accuracy.

Safety and ease of use

A power lock-off switch prevents accidental operation, and the blade protection foot prevents damage to the blades when the planer is resting on a surface, conveniently hinging out of the way during use. Supplied with spare drive belt, spare set of blades, blade spanner, chip extraction tube and carry case.

Magnesium

So what’s so special about magnesium? Fundamentally, it’s simple: it’s a material that is lighter, stronger & more durable than other structural metals - 75% lighter than steel, 50% lighter than titanium and 32% lighter then aluminium. Many power tools on the market feature extensive use of aluminium, which can make them heavy to hold over extended periods of use. Because they are significantly lighter than aluminium, magnesium components can reduce user fatigue and increase safety.

GMC

GMC is a leader in product innovation. Ongoing investment in research and design ensures GMC continue to provide innovative products that surpass customer expectation every time. With a proud heritage and association with top level motorsport, GMC understands what is needed to make the ordinary extra-ordinary. By using the very latest technologies available, GMC has consistently manufactured tools that offer a performance advantage over other, less forward-thinking competitors. Through its use of such technology as carbon fibre composites, magnesium alloys and laser-guiding, GMC power tools are perfect for everyone from the occasional DIY enthusiast to the veteran trade professional. Offering sleek, modern design combined with unbeatable performance, GMC’s tools not only perform outstandingly well, but they look spectacular, are powerful, and handle with unrivalled smoothness.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Handy Little Planer, 2 Mar 2011

    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
    This review is from: GMC PPM 420W Palm Planer (DIY & Tools)
    I brought this GMC compact planer 4 months ago, Also the GMC compact sander(see review).
    It is light, looks robust and well made, easy to use even when fitted with dust extractor.
    The Planer has been used extensively, in the time I've had it there have been no problems
    that I've come across.
    One thing that some people might have trouble with, is the position of the release(safety)
    switch on the side held in place with the thumb.
    The planer has various depth settings from 0 to 1.5mm and also a park position to protect
    blades.
    The planer also has 3 groove channels on base for chamfer edging, which I find very usefull.
    It has proved to be a usefull addition to my power tool collection.
    It comes with a tidy carry case and spare belt and blades.
    Highly recommended.
