Interskol R-82/710 50.1.0.12

Interskol is a leader in the east european market in the segment of power tools for home and professional use. The R-82/710 electric planer is a reliable “state employee” at an affordable price (about $75), which will serve as a partner for a home carpenter for many years.

Ergonomics

The moderate weight of the tool of 3.5 kg makes it quite convenient to manipulate it in a horizontal and vertical position, and the rubberized handle adds confidence in the work. In easy access there is a lock button from accidental inclusion, and the start key does not tyre with a tight press. The tool almost does not overheat from prolonged use, thanks to the gratings on the body with large cells, which contribute to the rapid cooling of the engine.

Performance

The planer removes chips to a depth of 2 mm in one pass. The sole has a V-groove for chamfering, and the quarter can be cut quite deep — up to 15 mm.

The 710 W electric motor provides a speed of rotation of knives of 14000 rpm. This is quite enough to get a well-finished surface. The wave from the passage of the cutter is almost invisible visually and to the touch. But the cutters themselves are far from perfect. They are double-sided, cannot be sharpened, are too narrow and wear out quite quickly. So it's better to immediately stock up on the second set.

Nice extras

The special tool included in the fixed installation kit allows you to turn the planer into a mini planer. And the workplace will always be clean due to the dust bag, which the manufacturer also took care of.

Bottom line: Interskol R-82/710 will confidently cope with simple work in the country, for example, the construction of a veranda, but it is rather weak for daily use. However, for such a price, he was not intended for her.
