- Unboxing a plainer (or planer) that was sent to me by the e-commerce site #VEVOR, assembly and comments, first usage and testing, and generally being talkative in my natural surroundings and enjoying a new and welcome addition to my arsenal of tools (that almost everyone can afford). This plainer would come in handy in a big project I've started working on, and chances are it will be making an appearance in more then one video in the future.

Good review Yuval,under difficult conditions! Cold drink time!🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Yes it was! But what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, or so I've heard... I should be the strongest man alive by now...
Congratulations! on the new planer Yuval! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP
Thanks! it was a much needed tool...
@@yuvallahav Your very welcome Yuval! Have a awesome week!😎
Good to see you
Thank you Mark! Good to hear from you as well!! (I miss the years all the gang was posting videos weekly and we were all immersed in our circle of makers and friends...).
...thank you for this review...I'm in the market and still looking around, but now, for me, this is a contender...👍
Thanks! Hope you find the right tool for you and your budget, since I got this for free, I can't really complain, and in fact, I found little to complain about.
Welcome back Yuval. In addition to turning I also make some small items of furniture. I've therefore had a planer/thicknesser for quite a few years and they are a very good addition to a workshop. When I'm working on a project, I wait until I have a number of boards to run through and "walk " the machine outdoors as the amount of shavings it creates is huge. Thankfully, I have the outdoor space and as the machine is noisy I wait until all of my neighbours are away at work. I highly recommend these machines.
Thank you Alan! I'm getting acquainted with mine still. I will be working on a bigger then normal project soon, where the pieces will be made out of different boards which I'll turn and glue together, so it's super important to have the best surface if I want to do it right. Right now what is preventing me from working is the heat my shop get to these days, and of course I can work late at night or early morning (I'm still civilized toward my neighbors as well...).
I forget to tell you I got the package you sent me (it was a hectic month here, with works and the kids all on summer vacation), but I'll be finished with the book I'm currently reading in a week or two, and I'll start on yours right after.
Yuval
Nice to see another video and new tool day is deserved material. Like Baconsoda said, get used to either predicting or managing snipe and you’ll be all good. Looking forward to the next project 👍
Thanks Dave! I love new tool day as well, to bad I get to have one every couple of years or so, but I should count my blessings... This will open up the door for a few project I've been holding off only because I was too lazy to make a piece of wood flat by hand... My next project might take a while, I think I bit into more then I can chew, but you know me, if I start something I better finish because who know when I'll be able to make anything again. Family and work, man, the bane of my existence... ;)
Good to see you back in the shop, Yuval. Coincidentally, I was just sent a laser engraver by Vevor and am attempting to learn how to use it so that I can do a decent appraisal. I enjoyed your video. 👍👍👍👍
Take care,
…..Gord
That's great! Both hearing from you Gord, and for the laser engraver (which I think I'm supposed to be getting as well soon). My idea would be to find a way to hack it to make it print on bowls and plates, sides, rims or bottom, but I'm still thinking about it... Hope to see your review soon so I'll know what I'm about to be dealing with, and it's good to see some of us smaller crowed artisan also get to have a voice for new products and companies.
Yuval
תתחדש יובל!
תודה רבה! הייתי צריך אחד כזה...
New here, very nice video, thank you Yuval!!
Thank you Abby!!
Thank you. Very helpful
Glad to see you back Yuval. I hope this means you'll start posting regularly again. Have you tried putting a little bit of white lithium grease on the gears of the raising/lowering mechanism? It make it work smoother. I once had one of those suitcase type planers. Mine was a Ryobi and it was little workhorse. If you're going to be planing mostly hardwoods, you should get an extra set of blades, or replace the cutter head with a helical type.
Thank you Nik! I always hope to come back to posting regularly, but you know how life is, kids and animals and wife and work, it's a bit much to handle, so the shop and creativity take a second seat.
I'll put on some lithium grease on the gears, and see if it improves. I mean, it's not bad now, but it sure feels like it can be better. As far as replacing the blade, that won't happen any time soon, I'll be using it as it is for as long as I can before I start putting money into sustaining it, if I see I don't get the results I need when using hardwood I simply won't use it, been doing ok without a plainer so far, I always find a way ;)
Great to see you Yuval. That was a very fair and reasonable review and matched the types of comments on the site where the tool scores very highly. May I offer a little advice please? The first time I used a thickness planer I put segmented rings through it and they exploded because I didn't know to put a sactificial piece of wood through just ahead to lift the cutters onto the rings and prevent snipe. The sudden impact of the cutters on the edge of my rings caused them to explode so learn from my ignorance. You probably already know how to stop the snipe effect but I didn't. I have seen people use double-sided tape to secure rings to a board to stop them moving, I would do that now.
Health to enjoy your new machine.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
I will remember that advice, it's a good one! I always said I would never go into segmenting, and the reason was that for making your own segments you need good tools, and you need to work right, and trying to get a plank planed by hand or using some rigged up sanding board or wheel, well, it will just make it all wonky. But if I have the tools, I might as well find a reason to use them, right? Anyways, I'll remember this when I get to actually doing it. Thanks mate!
Yuval
Good point Brendan. I learned to avoid snipe the hard way too.
תתחדש!!!
תודה רבה!!
Hi, looks like Christmas is coming for you, Great addition to your workshop, To check if the machine is planing accurately it is best to run a piece of wood through on the left side and another piece through on the right side and then measure them with your veneers they should be identical.
If not there is a way to adjust might have to go on RUclips or something to find out how to do it, your blades could be incorrectly set.
Good luck for the future keep up the great work stay safe and it might be a good idea for you to wear a face mask as you’re putting dust particles in the air as your plane in.
Phil from the moulin France.
Yeah, this is the kind of Christmas I'm talking about!! 40 degree heat, and shavings instead of snow!! :)
I will do exactly what you said, I'll run a piece of wood on each side and see how they measure up against each other, thanks for the tip!
I do talk about how to adjust the height of each side (by releasing the cam under the machine), and you're right about the facemask, I should have, and I will the next time!
Thanks Phil!
Very nice addition to any workshop. Be careful though if you are planning to feed short lengths of wood through it, it can be/is pretty dangerous. Not sure if there are any jigs to make it safe, but it's worth checking out.
Thanks for the advice! It does say not to use piece of wood shorter then 25 cm, but I'm sure with a jig that could be addressed as well... I will try to minimize experimenting and actually research and see what others have done.
Yuval
my first worry about such a tool would be the replacement knives and how to install them... by installing those I also include the leveling of those knives... I have a thickness planer already (which has also a planing surface on top) but replacing the knives also involves measuring with a micrometer to level them towards the planing bed to guarantee a perfect 90° angle and or a perfect thickness when you measure the opposite sides of the board or beam.
Man, you know me, once the blades are dull, off to the dumpster it goes!! I only ever use the freshest of tools :) The blade roller can be disassembled and extra blades are aviliable, as for how easy it is to maintain, consider the minimalistic amount of plaining I'll be doing in my shop, and I think it's something I won't have to worry about any time soon... But I'll make sure to ship it to you when I do need it replaced :)
Nice video. I was wondering what was the outcome of the dust cover as opposed to the vacuum? Where did the wood shavings go?
They just get thrown out the back all over your shop, that what happens... so if you don't mind sweeping and cleaning up after, you can just let it stay like that. I don't have a shop vacuum system or anything fancy, so it's sweeping up for me every single time.
Yuval
Wait till you have to change the blades, a real pain in the but. I asked Vevor for help , a video or better than the manual that comes with it and they gave me a run around no help. Found that the Jet is almost the same and there are a few videos on RUclips.
You're not the first to say that changing of the blade is an issue. I haven't tried it yet, since my is still cutting well and I haven't nicked any nails or metal bits. When I'll get to that bridge I'll have to cross I guess, alone it seems...
Yuval
I passed a piece of wood that I thought was clean and chipped the blade, I was able to change the blades but I had to glue the springs in place to stop them from falling out when installing the blades. There are 22 small springs behind each blade that have nothing hold them in place. @@yuvallahav
@ springs each not 22.
Hi can I Have a photo about the machine in the foot frame with M8x30 screws? I find it too wide - Sorry for my English -
Ciao Massimiliano, scusa per la risposta con ritardo... possiamo parlare in Italiano, abito in Italia già quasi 20 anni :) era un po di guerra mettere le vite per i piedi, il segreto e' non fisare le vite (o bolloni? non ricordo come si dice in Italiano) prima che metti la macchina su, cosi poi fare muovere la struttura un po per farla alienare con i buchi della macchina... magari e' chiaro?
Yuval
The trouble is that Vevor do not sell parts but will exchange/repair machine if in warranty. Here's the problem, I damaged my blades by hitting a hidden small staple and now leaves 2 very slight lines on my timber. Yes they sand out easily but what if the blades hit a nail or screw , the machine becomes unusable if the warranty has ended. Is the Scheppach or Draper 13" planer the same build as they look virtually the same machine.
I wouldn't know mate, but those are good issues and we need to be aware of them when we make a choice for a tool...
Yuval
I'm concerned about buying Vevor, I emailed Vevor about parts for a range hood insert and was told that they warranty their products but don't have parts. I suspect Vevor products are disposable and not repairable.
sent mine straight back as the riser only worked on one side...
Did you get a refund or did you ask for a replacement? I would love to know how they dealt with your problem and how it ended, it would be a good way to know how is their costumer care, since my unit worked fine I wouldn't know.
