Product Description
Ideal for contractors, the Porter-Cable PC60THPK hand planer has a heavy-duty 6 amp motor that provides smooth cutting in hard materials. Offering a low profile and easy adjustments, it also includes a longer shoe and three chamfer grooves.

The planer's depth adjuster has 10 positive stops positioned every 1/16 of an inch up to 5/64-inch, helping you accurately gauge how much material you're removing.

Power and Performance
The PC60THPK's 6 amp motor delivers 16,500 RPM of power for a variety of applications, including planing wood planks, doors and joists, as well as, chamfering or profiling edges. It also has the power to make a 5/64-inch cut in one pass max. Outfitted with two types of blades, you can choose between high-speed steel (HSS) blades or carbide blades depending on your needs. While HSS blades can be used in more aggressive situations, such as planing nail embedded wood, carbide blades can be used for finer construction, such as furniture or boat making.The planer's depth adjuster has 10 positive stops positioned every 1/16 of an inch up to 5/64-inch, helping you accurately gauge how much material you're removing. To ensure level and square results, the planer's 11-1/2-inch cast aluminum shoe is furnished with three chamfer grooves, which enable you to make the most common bevel cuts with ease.

Comfort and Convenience
Positioned behind the tool and close to the work surface for control, the planer's handle is equipped with a comfortable over molded grip to reduce any vibration.

The PC60THPK is also equipped with replaceable motor brushes to help extend the tool's life, as well as a replaceable belt drive system for quick servicing and a minimum of downtime.

Some Customer Reviews forPORTER-CABLE PC60THPK 6.0-Amp Hand PlanerI ordered this last fall out of desperation...I needed to edge plane a bunch of 40 year-old sugar maple boards. They were dirty and grimy having been stored for decades. I didn't want to wreck the edge on my very expensive jack-plane blade, so I figured I would likely just wreck this tool trying to get those edges cleaned up.I really didn't know what to expect. I have a 18" power planer (the boards were too wide to fit edge-wise!), and I had read reviews of very expensive and heavy powered hand-planers. Wow! What a great surprise this little phand planer was.... This little planer blew through that filthy maple with amazing speend leaving a finish-ready surface. ...so I figured since I hadn't wrecked the planer ...yet...so I would try planing the top of one of my work benches of years of accumulated glue, epoxy, paint, etc. Again, the results were terrific and even after what I considered abusive treatment, it left a very nice smooth surface. So I decided to really see what this little hand power planer could do....I got a 4' wide elm end-cut slabe from a tree removal service working across the street from my home...it took three strong guys and a heavy duty appliance cart to get the slab across the street to my garage. This was chain saw-cut green elm.... a woodworker's nightmare. But I wanted to make an outdoor table out of it. So I took that planer and went at it...in just over an hour I finished one side...then flipped it over and did the other side. I had bought new knives for the planer before undertaking this slab, but I never needed them. This tool has amazing power and leaves a great finish....It does take some practice to end up with a final-sanding finish. And you can't take off more than about 1/16 at a time, so you have to be reasonable. But I really thought I would burn the motor out on that green elm slab...but it went on and did the other side and is still going strong. Absolutely wonderful tool within the limitation of its relatively narrow cut. I strongly recommend this tool. It is the bargain of the decade!..  |  |
