DeWalt DW680K Type-1

The DeWalt DW680K is a handheld planer, a power tool used predominantly in woodworking. This tool, manufactured by DeWalt since 2001, is designed to smooth, dimension, and square rough lumber by planing wood boards and beams.

The DeWalt DW680K has a number of notable specifications and features. It operates with a 7 amp motor, reaching speeds of 15,000 RPM with a voltage of 120V AC. The planer has an adjustable cutting depth of up to 3/32 in per pass, and a feed rate of 16 feet per minute. The cutterhead is fan-cooled and accepts two double-sided carbide insert blades. Other features include a kickstand which allows the planer to rest on its backside, reversible carbide insert cutter blades, a precision-machined shoe, a depth adjustment knob with calibrated markings, a two-finger trigger, and a poly-V drive belt. The planer can produce rabbets and other joint cuts when used with the included rabbeting fence, and the three-guide shoe provides registration for cutting chamfers and bevels. Despite its numerous features, it maintains a portable size, making it convenient for on-site woodworking and construction applications.
