At a Glance: 850 W electric planer with 82 mm planing width, 0 - 3.5 mm planing depth and unlimited rebate depth for flush planing right up to the edge.
The Festool HL 850 EB-Plus is a powerful and precise electric planer designed for professional carpentry, joinery, door fitting, window work and timber preparation. Its standout feature is the single-bearing planing head, which allows the machine to plane flush right up to the edge and produce rebates with unlimited depth. This makes the HL 850 especially useful for door rebates, window rebates, beams, planks and broad timber surfaces where clean results, accurate control and minimal rework matter.
Planing with no limits
The HL 850 EB-Plus is not just a standard electric planer. Thanks to its flush-mounted single-bearing planing head and spiral blade system, it delivers smooth, controlled planing results while allowing deep rebates that would normally require extra finishing by hand.

Extra Information
The HL 850 EB-Plus is especially useful where planing needs to continue right up to an edge or rebate face.
The spiral blade system helps create a clean planing result with no need to adjust the cutting circle diameter after blade replacement.
The planer includes a parallel side fence and rebate depth stop for more controlled work.
The dust extraction adapter allows connection to a suitable Festool dust extractor for cleaner operation.
Optional rustic planing heads can be used to create fine, coarse or rustic timber surface textures.
Pro Tips
Use shallow passes when fitting doors or working close to final dimensions. It is always safer to remove a little at a time.
Connect dust extraction whenever possible; planers produce large chips very quickly.
Use the parallel side fence when planing edges to help keep the cut straight and controlled.
When chamfering, let the 90° V-groove guide the planer instead of trying to balance the machine by hand.
For the best surface finish, keep the blade sharp and avoid forcing the planer through the material.
How to Use
Check that the planing head and blade are correctly fitted and secure.
Set the required planing depth using the stepless depth adjustment.
Fit the parallel side fence or rebate depth stop if the application requires guided planing.
Connect a suitable dust extractor to the left or right extraction side using the extraction adapter.
Place the planer flat on the workpiece before starting the machine.
Start the planer and allow it to reach full speed before feeding into the cut.
Guide the planer steadily along the surface with even pressure and controlled movement.
For rebates, work in repeated controlled passes until the required result is achieved.
Allow the quick-acting brake to stop the planing head before setting the machine down.
Disconnect the plug before changing blades, cleaning or fitting accessories.
