great model, love it

It has been working for 8 years now without problems, and works flawlessly in winter and summer without any breakdowns. I sharpen the knives myself, they are reusable and installation is extremely simple and convenient. In the summer, I lubricate the wood resin with solarium from time to time.
Great model, I recommend it
The disadvantages include the front handle, but I’m somehow used to it, it’s fine for me
use Makita 1911B more than year
good model, like it

Not a cheap tool, but it is already for professionals. It won't let you down in the most inconvenient situations, it will work long and hard, just take care of the tool.

By the way, I don't know if it's true or not, but I was told it's very sensitive to drops, there's some thing in the motor, very necessary. On top of that, it's a very quiet planer!
this is an excellent machine; we made a doghouse from boards and beams, and it came in handy. Absolutely superb, don't think that we bought it just to build a doghouse.

This is a professional tool. Occasionally, I pick up side jobs in construction, so I had to get something worthwhile. It's practical and very reliable; it never overheats. It smooths out absolutely any surface and even those places where there are knots that grew who knows how. Note that it does not just rip them out but actually smooths and evens them out. The weight of 4.2 kg is very convenient; you don't have to apply any effort to work. Its weight is just right for such tasks.

The blade is also very easy to maintain; it is removed with a cross-head screwdriver and is held by 2 bolts. It's a simple piece of metal that can be sharpened if it becomes dull and put back. You can also adjust the depth there by tightening. It sands not only flat surfaces but also corners and so on, generally anywhere you attach it.
the handle in the front is uncomfortable, overall it's not convenient to hold properly because it's plastic, more similar to a motorcycle fuel cap, for those who remember, it wasn't possible to open it without a cloth, just like here, you can only grip it with a cloth. Everything else is just perfect...

The Japanese company Makita has won a place in the TOP of the best manufacturers of power tools with its high quality, rich functionality, and long service life. The professional model 1911B electric planer is reliable and easy to use, although it bites at a price of $400. Let's see how it is justified.

Big and weighty

The first thing that distinguishes the tool is an extended platform of 335 mm. It affected the weight. Here he is 4.3 kg. The handle is not rubberized, but with an anti-slip surface. They tried to make the planing depth adjustment knob anatomically shaped for maximum grip comfort, but, as you know, the best is the enemy of the good. As a result, holding on to it in the process of work is tiring and uncomfortable.

For "difficult" surfaces

The drum with one-sided knives rotates at a speed of 16,000 rpm, removing a layer up to 2 mm thick from wood of any degree of hardness, even and smoothing even knots. The processing width of 110 mm allows you to work with massive canvases, such as doors, floors, benches in fewer passes. The parallel stop helps to avoid the formation of a characteristic step when planing a wide board. A deep V-groove is provided for chamfering.

The pipe for removing chips requires the connection of a vacuum cleaner, so there is no dust bag in the kit. And it should also be emphasized that the tool is intended only for planing, they will not be able to select a quarter and this can be a minus for many.

As a result, we have a tool for cleaning surfaces of a large area. Robust and solid, perfect for long workshop jobs. For rare homework, it makes no sense to overpay, and somehow it didn’t work out with a sample of a quarter ...
