No load speed (RPM) indicates how fast the cutter head spins, impacting the finish quality and material removal rate. Higher RPMs, like the 17,000 RPM of the Makita KP0800K, offer smoother finishes and faster cutting, while moderate speeds, such as 12,000 RPM on the Makita KP312 and Makita XPK02Z, balance removal rate and surface quality. Lower speeds, like the 10,000/min on the Edge Lipping Planer Virutex CE53S, can offer greater control for detailed work. Multiple speed options are available to suit everything from rapid stock removal to fine finishing.
