The one and only Makita Modified Planer created by Casica Tech.  This planer was selected over other models since it is the only planer available that has sliding front shoe like a Skil 100 and is entirely made in Japan.  The shoe feature provides smooth tapered cuts and ease of starting cuts since the bottom opening of the cutters is variable width, not a fixed opening as other planers where the shoe moves only up/down.  What
