How to Use a Portable Thickness Planer: Woodworking Tool Tips & Techniques
It is reckoned that in the Stone Age the first tools were born, and by extension, machines and technology. Though the basic principles behind altering physical matter haven't changed much, some amazing advances have been made in tool technology. For instance, with the advent of consumer power tools, mankind has the ability to increase productivity and complete more projects in less time.
The thickness planer is just one of those tools; boards are fed into the planer and the the blades cut the board down decreasing its thickness. The blades are so sharp and the cuts are so finely tuned that though the boards are cut they come out perfectly planed.
In this free online video series learn from power tool expert and Industrial Technology teacher Jon Olson as he teaches and demonstrates how to use a portable thickness planer. Learn important woodworking tool tips and techniques such as personal and electrical safety, how to clean a thickness planer; how to mount a portable thickness planer; how to use the safety switch; how to change the blades on a thickness planer; how to set the thickness and depth and how to make a cut with a portable thickness planer.
