DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Planer DCP580B — 3-1/4in Cutting Width, Brushless, 2 mm Max Cut

The DEWALT DCP580B is a lightweight, brushless 20V MAX cordless planer engineered for fast material removal and precise depth control on the jobsite.

Compact and cordless, this planer combines a brushless motor with high cutter speed to keep performance steady under load while remaining easy to carry. It accepts a 3-1/4 inch cutting width and offers micro-adjustable depth control so you can dial in smooth, repeatable passes. The unit ships as a bare tool (battery, charger and dust bag sold separately) and weighs about 6.8 pounds for reduced user fatigue when working overhead or across long runs.

How quickly does the DCP580B remove material?

The planer delivers up to 30,000 cuts per minute, giving it a rapid removal rate that shortens task time on tough stock. The combination of a brushless motor and Poly-V drive belt sustains speed and prolongs component life, even during extended use.

• 30,000 cuts per minute for fast stock removal
• Brushless motor for consistent torque under load
• Poly-V drive belt enhances durability during high RPMs

What level of depth and precision can I expect?

Depth is adjustable down to 1/256 inch increments for exact material take-off, and the maximum single pass is 5/64 inch (approximately 2 mm). Precision-machined front and rear aluminum shoes keep the sole parallel to the cutterhead so your passes remain flat and true.

• Calibrated knob with 1/256 in. (~0.01 mm) fine adjustments
• Maximum depth per pass: 5/64 in. (2 mm)
• Machined aluminum shoes ensure parallel, consistent cuts

What features make the planer jobsite-friendly?

The DCP580B is designed for real-world use: a kickstand protects work surfaces, a chamfer groove on the front shoe lets you create decorative edges, and an ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during long shifts. At 6.8 pounds, it’s light enough to move between work areas without sacrificing control.

• Kickstand prevents gouging when setting the tool down
• Front shoe groove enables clean edge chamfers
• Ergonomic grip for comfort during extended use
• Lightweight 6.8 lb tool for easy transport on-site

Is maintenance and blade replacement straightforward?

The planer uses replaceable blades for quick swaps and routine upkeep; the recommended replacement blade is DEWALT part N447366 (DW6654). The Poly-V belt and brushless motor reduce wear, and straightforward access to cutter components simplifies service tasks.

• Replacement blade: DEWALT N447366 (DW6654)
• Accessible cutterhead area for faster blade changes
• Brushless design lowers routine maintenance compared with brushed motors

Who this is for: The DCP580B is aimed at carpenters, trim installers, and serious DIYers who need a portable, high-speed planer capable of precise, repeatable passes. It suits users who rely on the DEWALT 20V MAX ecosystem and prefer a bare tool to combine with existing batteries and chargers. Choose this model if you want a compact planer that balances power, fine depth control, and jobsite durability without being tethered by a cord.
