Festool EHL65 2-9/16" Planer w/ CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor

The Festool EHL 65 planer has some ingenious features not previously available in electric planers. Conventional handheld planers with straight knife cutterheads are both noisy and can leave chatter marks in the cut. These marks require sanding for a smooth surface. Festool planers feature single-knife spiral cutterheads that sheer-cut the material for a cleaner, smoother cut that is ready to glue or finish. This design also reduces noise levels associated with planing for less user strain and greater comfort.

Smooth cuts are just part of the story with Festool planers. When planing carcasses, trim, panels, or doors, the one-handed EHL 65 is both ergonomic, as well as powerful. With depth control that can be adjusted on-the-fly, spiral cutterhead, and 720 watts (6.0 Amps) the EHL 65 planer fits the bill for most planing applications. The base of the EHL 65 planer features an angled groove for chamfering operations with the size of the chamfer being controlled by the depth of cut which can be controlled in 1/256" increments. Weighing only 5.3 lbs., the planer is designed to be used continuously without causing operator fatigue.

So many trimming and planing tasks require working in awkward and sometimes difficult to reach areas. Being able to control the planer with one hand allows easy access for challenging cuts, while leaving one hand free to help secure the material. Not only does the Festool EHL 65 planer allow for one handed use, it also produces clean and smooth shear cuts. The spiral single-knife cutterhead cuts quickly, quietly, and cleanly for less re-work and great results. Conveniently arrange the dust collection port on either side of the machine for optimum extraction. It is a simple and straightforward machine that performs like no other.

Since most of Festool's power tools are engineered for efficient and simple shop-vac connectivity, it's no surprise that Festool would also make a highly innovative, full-featured shop vacuum. The CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor comes with HEPA filters that filter out particles down to .3 microns. Its 6.9 gallon container rolls smoothly on large wheels, is nearly impossible to tip over and has locking wheels for stability. The self-cleaning disposable filter bag resists caking - maintaining maximum suction. Tool triggered switch with smooth start-up and shut off delay, and adjustable electronic suction control make this the ultimate vac to connect to your hand power tools. The quiet (72db) 10 amp motor creates an impressive 137 CFM and 96" of static pressure. The open top design includes hose and cord storage and a carrying handle. The top also includes locking latches to securely attach the Festool Systainer® tool containers, keeping your power tools and accessories close at hand. Weighs 28.7 lbs. The CT26E comes with HEPA Filters, 11.5' anti-static hose and disposable filter bag. Measures 25" x 15" x 22" high.
