Makita MT Series M1901 Planer

The Makita MT Series M1901 is a 500W electric hand planer designed for accurate timber preparation across a range of woodworking and joinery tasks.

Part of Makita's MT Series, the M1901 is built to a standard well above the DIY market whilst remaining accessible in price. It combines robust, industrial-quality construction with the essential professional features that carpenters, apprentices, and skilled home-users actually need — without the cost of a high-end professional machine.

With an 82mm planing width, 2mm planing depth, and a maximum rebate depth of 9mm, the M1901 is well-suited to tasks such as trimming doors, smoothing rough timber, and cutting chamfers. The 16,000rpm no-load speed ensures a clean, consistent finish across softwood and similar materials. Weighing just 2.7kg, it is easy to manoeuvre during extended use on site or in the workshop.
