Dealmonger: Makita’s 12-Inch Benchtop Planer For $283

By Stephen Cooke

15 Amp 12-Inch Benchtop Planer

Amazon currently lists the Makita 2012NB at $282.87, which is the cheapest I could find by about $120.  It’s a 12″ portable planer with automated head clamps, a 15A, 8500 RPM motor, a 13″ x 30-3/8″ table, double sided knives, and dust collection ports.  And at 83 dB, it’s (relatively) quiet, too.

    Great, I had it in my cart at that price for 2 weeks waiting for today, the day after my credit card cycled, to place the order. As of 2 am last night it was at this price, but likely after this blog posting brought attention to it, the price jumped to $465. Thanks!

    […] I love ToolMonger as it meets a couple of key criteria a.)It is relevant. Having been locked up in the apartment for 9 months, I’ve been having project withdraw. It is good to be working on things again. b.) They love doing things over the top. This is how I would be if I had unlimited time and money. A benchtop planer? How money is that? c.) They are funny. d.) One Beer Projects. The best kind, especially when you can make a list of 5 or 6 of them. e.) What’s not to love about tool porn? […]
