Draper Expert Electric Planer, 82mm, 950W

Bring professional-grade surface preparation and timber finishing to your workshop or job site with the Draper Expert P950E82/4 Electric Planer — a powerful, well-specified 950W planer engineered to deliver clean, accurate results across a wide range of planing, rebating, and chamfering tasks. Part of Draper's Expert tool range, the P950E82/4 is built to meet the higher demands of professional tradespeople and advanced woodworkers who require consistent performance and precise control in a robust, dependable package.

Running at 16,000rpm with an 82mm cutting width, the P950E82/4 removes material quickly and cleanly — making light work of skimming rough-sawn timber, truing up warped boards, reducing door stile thickness, and preparing surfaces for finishing. Cutting depth is fully adjustable from 0 to 4mm, allowing fine finishing passes as well as more aggressive stock removal depending on the task at hand.

The included parallel guide and rebating fence extends the P950E82/4's capability significantly, enabling accurate rebating to a maximum depth of 18mm — ideal for door lipping, cabinet work, and joinery applications where precise shoulders and consistent rebate depths are essential. Three chamfer grooves in the front shoe provide quick, reliable guidance for cutting neat 45° chamfers along timber edges without the need for additional jigs or guides.

Chip and dust management is handled cleanly by a left/right chip extraction port — switchable to suit your working position and workshop layout — with a dust bag included for convenient, contained collection. The planer is supplied in a carry case complete with a spanner and hex key for blade adjustment and maintenance, and a 2m cable with BS plug ensures it's ready to use from the first moment. At 3.7kg with a 234mm base length, the P950E82/4 offers a confident, stable footprint while remaining comfortable for extended use.
