If you do not plan to carry out very large-scale construction work using a planer, such as planing a large number of boards and timber, and you need a planer for periodic household work, then there is no point in buying an expensive powerful tool.
For small jobs, when occasionally it is necessary to plan a lath or a small board, and of a small size, it is better to purchase a small planer with a relatively small engine power, but at an affordable price.
As such a tool, it can be used for a home set of planers HAMMER RNK600. This model is small and compact. The engine power is quite small - only 600 watts, but this is quite enough for small household work.
Also on this planer there is a smooth adjustment of the depth of planing, although the tool has a cutting depth of only 2 mm. Yes, however, with such engine power, it simply does not cut a great depth and it is hardly necessary. As a rule, a large depth of planing is only required when you are processing large thick boards and cant or logs.
The HAMMER RNK600 planer has a high speed of 17,000 rpm, which allows you to get a very even, smooth planing surface without additional wood processing.
The specified model of the planer is equipped with double-sided knives 82 mm wide, which are the most popular and easy to find in hardware stores. Double-sided sharpening of knives allows you to sharpen knives less often, because when they become dull on one side, they are simply turned over and can be planed again.
In addition to the listed amenities and positive properties, we note a few more features of the HAMMER RNK600 planer.
These include: the presence of comfortable ergonomic handles, with which it is very convenient to work with this planer. The key for changing knives is located in a special mount on the planer body, which allows you not to lose it and always have it at hand. Also included with the specified planer is a parallel stop.
With the help of a parallel stop it is convenient to choose a quarter or to cut a certain width of the part.
Well, another feature of the described model is the presence of a dust collector. Even without using a vacuum cleaner, if you use the tool indoors, you won't end up with a bunch of shavings and sawdust on the floor. The chip bag is quite small, but given the scope, it is quite enough for homework with the specified tool model.
If you describe the appearance of this planer, it is worth noting that its body is made of green plastic, while the front handle, engine cooling pad and pad on the main handle are black. The start button is made of red plastic and is clearly visible.
