Does the DCP580B come with a battery?
No. The DCP580B is the tool-only configuration and does not include a battery or charger. It is compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* batteries, including compact 2.0Ah packs.
What battery size is recommended for the DCP580B?
Reviewers report the planer runs adequately on a 2.0Ah 20V MAX* battery for light tasks. For extended use on framing lumber or doors, a 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah battery provides better runtime.
What is the maximum cut depth per pass?
The DCP580B removes up to 2 mm (approximately 5/64-in.) of material per pass with its 3-1/4-in.-wide cutting head.
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. The DCP580B uses two reversible carbide blades that can be flipped to a fresh edge when dull. Replacement blade sets are available as a DEWALT accessory.
Is the DCP580B suitable for fitting doors on-site?
Yes. Cordless operation and the 7.8-lb weight make this planer a popular choice for carpenters planing door edges on-site. Reviewers specifically cite door fitting as a primary use case.
How does the safety switch work on the DCP580B?
The DCP580B uses a two-step activation: a safety paddle must be pressed before the main trigger engages. Some professional users find this double-action grip initially awkward, though it prevents accidental starts.
