PLANER

A planer, in woodworking, is a power tool used to flatten and smooth the surface of rough lumber. It works by shaving off thin layers of wood with a rotating blade or blades. Planers are essential tools for woodworkers who need to create consistent thicknesses and smooth finishes for their projects.

There are two main types of planers used for woodworking:

• Thickness planer: This is the most common type of planer. It consists of a bed where the wood is fed through, a rotating blade or set of blades, and a pressure roller system that ensures the wood feeds through the machine at a consistent rate. You set the desired thickness of the finished board using a depth adjustment knob, and the planer removes excess wood until the board reaches that thickness throughout its length.

• Jointer planer: A jointer planer is a combination machine that offers both thickness planing and jointing functionalities. A jointer is used to create a perfectly flat and square reference edge on a board. This edge can then be used to guide the board through the planer to ensure that the opposite face is perfectly parallel to the jointed face, and that the entire board has a uniform thickness. While not all woodworkers need a dedicated jointer, a jointer planer can be a space-saving solution for small workshops.

Here are some of the key features to consider when choosing a planer:

• Planing width: This refers to the maximum width of board the planer can handle.
• Planing thickness: This refers to the thickest material the planer can accept and the thinnest it can plane to.
• Number of blades: Planers typically have two or more blades. More blades can produce a smoother finish but may also require more power from the motor.
• Dust collection: Planers generate a significant amount of sawdust. Look for a planer with a dust collection port to connect to a shop vacuum for dust control.

Planers can be dangerous if not used properly. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when using a planer:

• Always wear safety glasses, ear protection, and a dust mask.
• Ensure the planer is unplugged before making any adjustments.
• Use push sticks to feed lumber through the planer to avoid contacting the blades with your hands.
• Always stand to the side of the planer when feeding material through.
• Verify the board is free of knots, nails, or other debris that could damage the planer blades.
• Keep your fingers away from the planer head at all times.
