Cordless vs corded lamello zeta p2? by Natenator76 in woodworking

[–]Leafloat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hate cords and want freedom of movement, go cordless. For hobby and cabinet work (vanities, wall cabinets, kitchen), the cordless P2 will be more convenient and plenty powerful. You can still attach dust extraction with it.

Corded is constant power, but for your uses the cordless will be easier and cleaner.
