Festool EHL 65 EQ-Plus One-Handed Planer

At a Glance: 720 W one-handed planer with 65 mm planing width, 0–4 mm planing depth and Spir-O-Cut for smooth results

The Festool EHL 65 EQ-Plus is a compact, powerful and beautifully balanced one-handed planer designed for professional trimming, fitting and finishing work. With its 720 W motor, 65 mm planing width and adjustable 0–4 mm planing depth, it is ideal for planing doors, trim, skirting, carcasses, infill panels and general assembly work.

The EHL 65 EQ-Plus is made for controlled planing where handling and finish quality matter. Its compact body, SoftGrip handle and precise cutting depth adjustment make it comfortable to guide with one or two hands, while the spiral blade helps produce cleaner results with less reworking.

Pro Tips

For fine fitting work, take lighter passes instead of removing too much material at once. It gives you better control and a cleaner finish.
Use the 90° V-groove when chamfering edges to help keep the planer tracking straight.
Connect dust extraction on the side that keeps the hose away from your cutting direction and body position.
Check the planing depth before touching the workpiece. A quick setting check can save a door, panel or expensive timber edge from a bad surprise.
Replace dull blades promptly. A sharp planer blade gives a smoother finish and puts less strain on the motor.

How to Use

Check that the workpiece is securely clamped or properly supported before planing.
Fit dust extraction to the left or right side according to the working position.
Connect the plug it cable securely to the planer and a suitable mains power supply.
Set the required planing depth using the rotating cutting depth adjustment.
Place the front part of the planer foot flat on the workpiece before starting the cut.
Switch on the planer and guide it steadily along the workpiece without forcing it.
Keep the planer base flat and maintain even forward movement for the smoothest finish.
For chamfering, position the 90° V-groove over the edge and guide the planer smoothly along the workpiece.
After the cut, allow the blade to stop completely before setting the planer down.
Disconnect the machine before changing blades, cleaning or making adjustments.
