Higher motor power (amperage for corded, voltage for cordless) translates to increased cutting strength, smoother operation under heavy loads, and more efficient stock removal. Lower ratings can mean a lighter, more maneuverable tool ideal for light-duty work or extended use without fatigue. Choices range from high-powered 15 AMP corded models like the Makita KP312 for demanding jobs, to 6.5 AMP options like the Makita KP0800K for general carpentry, and 18V cordless models such as the Makita XPK02Z for portability. This variety means you can find a planer that matches your power needs and preferred handling characteristics.
