Milwaukee 2524-20 M12™ Brushless 2" Planer
Plane doors, scribe filler strips, and fit finish trim with effortless one-handed control. The Milwaukee® 2524-20 M12™ Brushless 2" Planer delivers the cutting capability of a full-size tool in an ultra-compact footprint designed specifically for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and remodelers.
Driven by a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor spinning at 14,500 RPM, this planer features a 2-blade cutter head that slices up to 5/64" in a single pass across softwoods and dense hardwoods without bogging down. The precision-machined 2-inch aluminum shoe is optimized for common door widths and trim edges, featuring an integrated corner beveling groove and 21 positive depth detents for micro-adjustments. With dual-sided chip ejection ports and an included universal vacuum adapter, you can direct debris away from your workspace or connect directly to dust extraction for virtually mess-free interior trimming.
- POWERSTATE™ Brushless Power: Delivers 14,500 RPM to produce glass-smooth finishes on hardwoods and architectural millwork.
- Deep 5/64" Cut Capacity: Features 21 positive depth settings ranging from 0 to 5/64" for precise stock removal.
- Dual-Sided Chip Ejection: Reversible discharge port allows shavings to be directed out either side or hooked directly to a vacuum hose.
- Spring-Loaded Kickstand: Automatically pivots down to protect finished workpieces from spinning blades, and locks away flat during continuous planing passes.
- Compact & Lightweight: Weighs just 3.38 lbs, making overhead work and tight door-jamb scribing fast and fatigue-free.
- On-Tool Blade & Key Storage: Stores an extra set of reversible carbide blades and the adjustment hex wrench right in the tool housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 2-inch planer instead of a standard 3-1/4-inch planer?
A 2-inch planer is optimized specifically for the edges of standard 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" interior and exterior doors, cabinet face frames, and scribe moldings. Its lighter, narrower profile allows easy one-handed operation and reduces the risk of rounding off delicate edges.
Can this planer be connected to a shop vacuum?
Yes. The tool comes standard with a shavings collection attachment and a universal vacuum hose adapter that connects directly to standard 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" dust extraction hoses to keep interior workspaces clean.
Are replacement blades readily available?
Yes. The planer uses standard Milwaukee 2" reversible solid carbide planer blades (model 48-38-2005). Because the blades are double-edged, you can flip them to access a fresh cutting edge before needing replacement.
Is the battery and charger included with the 2524-20?
No. The 2524-20 is a bare tool ("Tool Only"). It works with all Milwaukee M12 REDLITHIUM battery packs (such as M12 XC4.0 or High Output CP2.5) and chargers, which are sold separately.
