Makita 2040 Planer Specs

Makita's now discontinued 2040 planer is a wood-working machine designed largely for personal or non-industrial use. This electric table planer can accommodate large pieces of lumber and reduces the thickness of the wood and/or makes the surface completely smooth. Most electric table planers (like the Makita 2040) are used for smoothing out and leveling rough-cut lumber.
