Festool Electric Planers: HL 850 E and HLC 82
Festool planers handle the work a stationary planer cannot reach: fitting doors, trimming beams in place, chamfering, and cutting rebates. This collection has the corded HL 850 E, offered in a Systainer3 or T-LOC Systainer, and the HLC 82 EB cordless 18V planer sold as a BASIC tool in a Systainer. Change the finish with planer heads, keep blades sharp, and add guides for repeat rebates.

HL 850 E Corded Planer
The HL 850 E is the corded Festool planer, sold in a Systainer3 or T-LOC Systainer. It takes interchangeable smooth and rustic heads, so one planer can flatten or texture.
HLC 82 Cordless Planer
The HLC 82 EB runs on Festool 18V packs and ships as a BASIC tool in a Systainer. Pair it with packs from batteries and chargers for work away from an outlet.
Planer Heads
The HL 850 standard smooth head planes flat. Rustic heads in fine, coarse, and undulating patterns leave a hand-hewn texture on beams and mantels. See planer heads.
Planer Blades
Replacement planer blades include a standard HL 850 blade, HSS blades for the undulating and rustic-coarse heads, and a standard EHL 65 blade.
Planer Guides
The parallel stop sets rebate width off the board edge, and the rebate depth stop sets the depth. Both are in planer guides.
Dust Extraction
Planers throw a lot of chips. Connect a CT dust extractor to keep the work and the floor clear, especially indoors.

Festool Planers FAQ
HL 850 E or HLC 82?
Choose the HL 850 E if you want the interchangeable smooth and rustic heads in this collection, all labeled for the HL 850. Choose the HLC 82 if you already run Festool 18V cordless tools and want to plane without a cord.
Can I texture beams with a Festool planer?
Yes, on the HL 850 E. Fit a rustic fine, coarse, or undulating planer head for a hand-hewn look, then swap back to the smooth head for flat work.
Does the HLC 82 come with a battery?
The HLC 82 EB here is the BASIC version, so batteries and a charger are sold separately in batteries and chargers.
What warranty does Festool offer on planers?
Festool covers new power tools bought from an authorized US dealer with a 3-year limited warranty. Register the planer within 30 days of purchase to add warranty all-inclusive service, which covers free repairs for three years, wear parts such as carbon brushes, bearings, and seals, and a prepaid shipping label for covered repairs. Blades are excluded.
