Conventional hand-held planers with straight knife cutter-heads are both noisy and can leave chatter marks in the cut. These marks require sanding for a smooth surface. Festool planers feature single-knife spiral cutter-heads that sheer-cut the material for a cleaner, smoother cut that is ready to glue or finish. This design also reduces noise levels associated with planing for less user strain and greater comfort. Smooth cuts are just part of the story with Festool planers. When planing carcasses, trim, panels, or doors, the one-handed EHL 65 is both ergonomic, as well as powerful. With depth control that can be adjusted on-the-fly, spiral cutter-head, and 720 watts (6.0 Amps) the EHL 65 planer fits the bill for most planing applications. The base of the EHL 65 planer featured an angled groove for chamfering operations with the size of the chamfer being controlled by the depth of cut which can be controlled in 1/256" increments. So many trimming and planing tasks require working in awkward and sometimes difficult to reach areas. Being able to control the planer with one hand allows easy access for challenging cuts, while leaving one hand free to help secure the material. Not only does the EHL 65 planer allow for one handed use, it also produces clean and smooth shear cuts. The spiral single-knife cutter-head cuts quickly, quietly, and cleanly for less re-work and great results. Conveniently arrange the dust collection port on either side of the machine for optimum extraction. It is a simple and straightforward machine that performs like no other.
The powerful, 720-watt Festool EHL 65 E Planer offers an ergonomic design that's easy to control with one hand. Ideal for planing carcasses, trim, panels, and doors--among other applications--the versatile EHL 65 E features an angled groove for chamfering operations, incredibly accurate 1/256-inch depth adjustments, advanced MMC electronics, and an integrated dust port for cleaner, healthier work sites.

Built For Efficient, Accurate, One-Handed OperationAn ergonomic handle and lightweight, well-balanced design make the Festool EHL 65 E planer simple to operate with only one hand, leaving your other hand free to secure materials. Since it weighs just 5.3 pounds, the planer is easy to control when used for both horizontal and vertical applications, and it delivers a planing width of 2-9/16 inches, which is perfectly suited for planing and scribing edges.
This versatile planer delivers a maximum 5/32-inch cut depth, and a maximum 29/32-inch rabbeting depth. An oversized, depth-adjustment knob allows incredibly precise control over the depth of each cut in 1/256-inch increments. And the EHL 65 E's solid, machined, one-piece base plate features a groove in the center, which can be used for creating chamfer cuts.
A retractable side guard offers improved job site or workshop safety. This guard swings up and to the side as the rabbet depth increases, which ensures that planing up to the edge in deep rabbets is not a problem. When the tool's not in use, an integrated kickstand keeps the blade from touching and marring your just-finished work piece, and a lock-out button prevents accidental triggering.
"Chatter-Free," Single-Knife Cutter Head
The EHL 65 E's metal carbide, spiral cutter head is built to deliver a smooth, "chatter-free" cut, and it features a replaceable blade, so you can utilize the same durable head for longer. This head allows the planer to sheer-cut materials, delivering cleaner, smoother cuts that are ready to glue or finish, and also allows the planer to be quieter for an improved operator experience.
This setup also keeps blade changes quick and easy. Plus, the wrench that's used for replacing blades is conveniently stored onboard the planer, so you never have to waste time searching for it.
MMC Electronics and Application-Specific Performance
Different applications place different demands on your tools, and the EHL 65 E provides equally good results when working with a variety of materials thanks to its advanced MMC (multi-material control) electronics. It offers soft starts that won't harm your work surface, and it has the ability to maintain a consistent 15,600 rpm drive-shaft speed, even under heavy loads. All this translates to smoother results and easier handling.
Tool-Free Guide Attachment
The EHL 65 E comes standard with a parallel guide. This guide provides additional support and guidance against the edge of your work piece, and it can be attached to the front of the planer without using any tools. A rabbet depth stop that offers tool-free attachment to the EHL 65 E and allows for easily repeatable rabbet depth settings is also available (not included).
Efficient, Integrated Chip Extraction
The ELH 65 E is designed to offer efficient, near-total chip and dust extraction for a safer, cleaner work environment. It allows for left- or right-sided mounting of an extractor hose, and offers optimum performance when used with a 36-millimeter hose and either the Festool CT 22 dust extractor or the Festool CT 33 dust extractor.
The Festool ELH 65 E Planer is backed by a three-year limited warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
