Makita 4-3/8 In. Curved Base Planer 1002BA
The Makita 1002BA 4-3/8 In. Curved Base Planer is a specialized corded power planer designed for shaping curved surfaces in timber and logs. Its curved base is engineered for controlled material removal over dips and rises, making it particularly useful for creating arches, arcs, log notches, and saddle-style cuts in log construction.
Powered by a 9.6-amp motor running at 15,000 RPM, the 1002BA can plane up to 4-3/8 inches wide and 5/32 inch deep in a single pass. Its precision-machined base, two-handed grip design, large depth-adjustment knob, and high-capacity chip ejection chute help provide control and efficient material removal during demanding woodworking applications.
Key Features
- Specialized curved-base design: Designed to smooth and shape curved timber, logs, and other radius materials.
- 4-3/8-inch planing width: Removes a broad section of material in one pass for efficient work.
- Up to 5/32-inch planing depth: Provides substantial material removal when shaping wood.
- 9.6-amp motor: Delivers the power needed for demanding planing and notching applications.
- 15,000 RPM no-load speed: Supports fast stock removal and smooth cutting performance.
- Precision-machined base: Engineered for accurate curved cutting and log notching.
- 12-5/8-inch curved radius: The factory-adjusted bevel base is designed for notching logs at approximately this radius.
- Adjustable bevel radius: The radius can be adjusted down to approximately 11-13/16 inches for different curved applications.
- Large front and rear grips: Two-handed design provides improved control while working on curved surfaces.
- Large chip ejection chute: Helps discharge wood chips efficiently during operation.
- Depth adjustment knob: Conveniently positioned for quick and precise cutting-depth changes.
- Lock-on button: Allows continuous operation without continuously holding the trigger.

- Sharpening Holder Assembly
- Socket Wrench
- Blade Gauge Assembly

Recommended Applications
The 1002BA is particularly useful for:
- Log home construction
- Timber framing
- Creating arches and curved sections
- Notching logs for improved fit
- Smoothing curved timber surfaces
- Finishing saddle cuts
- Creating a hand-hewn appearance in logs and beams
Its curved base makes it substantially different from a conventional flat-base planer. Rather than primarily flattening straight boards, the 1002BA is designed to follow and shape curved wooden surfaces.
Why Choose the Makita 1002BA?
For contractors, timber framers, and woodworkers who regularly work with logs or curved structural members, the Makita 1002BA provides a purpose-built solution for controlled curved-surface planing. The combination of a 4-3/8-inch cutting width, 5/32-inch cutting depth, 15,000 RPM motor, precision-machined curved base, and two-handed control makes it well suited to specialized timber-shaping work.
Note: Makita's U.S. specifications list the motor at 9.6 amps, while some older Makita literature lists 11 amps. The current Makita USA product page specifies 9.6 A, so that figure is used above.
