Description

DEWALT 20V MAX Planer, 30,000 Cuts Per Minute, 2 mm Cut Depth, Brushless Motor, Bare Tool Only (DCP580B)

Give your woodworking projects the power and precision they deserve with the DEWALT 20V MAX Planer DCP580B. You get the responsiveness and runtime advantages of a brushless motor combined with finely tuned depth control and machined shoes for truly professional results. This is the bare tool only, so you can add the 20V MAX battery system you already trust.

Why this planer is right for you

You want a tool that makes material removal fast without sacrificing control. With 30,000 cuts per minute and a maximum cut depth of 2 mm (5/64 in.), this planer removes stock quickly while the calibrated depth adjustment lets you make micro changes for exact fits. The precision-machined front and back aluminum shoes keep the cut parallel, so you won’t be fighting uneven surfaces. The kickstand protects workpieces when you need to set the tool down between passes.

Key benefits you’ll appreciate

• Fast stock removal: 30,000 cuts per minute for rapid, clean planing that saves you time.
• Precise control: the calibrated depth adjustment knob goes to 1/256 in. (about 0.01 mm), so you can make incremental changes for exact tolerances.
• Durable and low maintenance: brushless motor gives better runtime and lower long-term wear compared to brushed motors. Poly-V drive belt improves belt life.
• Comfortable handling: ergonomically designed handle reduces fatigue during longer jobs.
• Workpiece protection: kickstand lets you rest the planer on the surface without gouging material.
• Multi-function front shoe: precision-machined groove in the front shoe allows chamfering edges quickly and consistently.
• Easy blade replacement: compatible with DW6654 replacement blades, part number N447366.

What you can do with it

You can trim doors, plane edges for clean joints, chamfer boards, and remove uneven faces quickly. This planer excels when you need controlled material removal—whether you’re fitting a door, straightening a board, preparing a workpiece for glue-ups, or creating crisp chamfers for finishing. The parallelism maintained by the machined shoes helps you get uniform, repeatable results across multiple pieces.

How to use it effectively

• Secure your workpiece before you start. Even with the kickstand and ergonomic design, the safest results come from a stable setup.
• Start with a shallow depth and increase incrementally until you reach the desired surface. Use the calibrated knob to dial in precise changes.
• For chamfers, align the board with the precision groove in the front shoe and run steady passes for consistent angles.
• Keep the planer moving at a steady pace to avoid scalloping; too slow can create unevenness, too fast may reduce cutting efficiency.
• If you need to set the planer down, use the kickstand to avoid gouging the material.

Maintenance and blade care

• Check blades regularly for nicks and dullness. Replace with DW6654 replacement blades (Part Number: N447366) when performance drops.
• Clean dust and debris after use to preserve the motor and belt. Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove chips from the cutter head and belt area.
• Inspect the Poly-V drive belt periodically for wear and tension. Replace if you notice fraying or slipping.
• Store the planer in a dry place and protect the shoes and cutter head from contact with other tools to prevent damage.
