"Please do the clicks" love that line. Way Better than "smash the like button" haha As a suggestion, when you have tons of numbers to say (like the weight and dimensions of the plainers). I'd suggest asking the viewer to pause the video if they want to know the exact numbers shown on screen vs verbalizing them. Just reduces the chances of someone's eyes going crossed and tuning out. Great info and visuals. This is a painfully underrated channel. And as a straight man I rarely would say this but Michael does indeed have the bronze. He's jacked!
Thank you ZTron57. I hear what you say about the dimensions. Half of our viewers are in the US and I've no way of knowing how many are versed in metric. We may move to just flashing the imperial on the screen and perhaps them all if it's not a constriction measurement. We're hoping to grow and we need good folks like yourself interacting to hopefully promote us in the algorithm as most views are subscribers and specific searches rather than recommended. Malcolm got a double dose of big and strong genes from his parents and has layered extensive knowledge, diet and a lot of training on top.
Great video, thank you! I would love to see the next video you were imagining on the operation of this planer. I recently got one and haven't used a planer before. It seems straight forward, but I'm sure there are little tips and tricks I could benefit from.
Thank you Bruce and I am sorry I've been so slow to reply. I'll be back inside after a pond build shortly and I have plans for another planer video about something else. Hopefully I'll get it done during the winter.
Very helpful video and well produced video, thank you. I would be interested to know what machine (if any) you use for planing the wood flat before running it through the Makita to achieve the desired thickness?
Thank you, Andrew. All the work with the Makita thus far has been reducing previously planed stock although some of that planing has been rough at times. The local timber merchants tend to stock hardwoods in a few stock sizes and I work off them.
Thank you Bryan. I hope I understand your question by answering I don't think the handle locks, as such but I have found it stays in place indicating a constant depth when planing multiple pieces unlike my previous cheap combi planer/thicknesser where the handle "unwound" indicating the workpiece would be planed slightly thicker on subsequent pieces put through.
At present, Michael, I've yet to find the time to finish my integral extractor in my bench and so am reliant on a Makita shop vac, with limited capacity. As the chips are quite large, I just run my air filter and sweep up if I'm doing a decent amount of planing. For a small job, I connect my vac hose and it gets most of the chips but I haven't printed a transition piece for my vac as yet, another on the to do list. At the moment, planing is an occasional task and I do plan to revisit the matter when I'm back more indoors at the end of the year.
Sorry Chris, I order from a local trade timber supplier and order enough to have free delivery. No experience with on-line ordering, I'm afraid. Thank you for the compliment about our vids.
How is your thought on joiner? I have a combined planer+joiner today which takes up a bit too much place. Though I would not like to be without joiner or be jointing on table saw... Any thoughts? Thanks
Thank you for your question Emil. Firstly I have a small combined planer/jointer which I bought in 2007 when I was remodelling my surgery but I have no room for it and with my damaged shoulder it is too awkward to manage. I almost always used the planer/thicknesser part. I have jointed ordinary rather than fine timber on my relatively new table saw and have the rail saw for cutting a straight line. When I finally have the time to consider some furniture making, I do have an idea of how I might incorporate perhaps a 6" or 8" jointer into my small shop. If I do, there will be a video!
@@AMBuilds You could also consider jointer alternatives, like using your track saw or router to edge joint, and a planer sled to face joint. Would love to see that follow-up video on best practices for using this machine. I just bought one for similar reasons (smaller, lighter, quieter) and would enjoy hearing your thoughts.
Hi Sir my Planer 2012nb is giving good finish, wood is getting peeled off at some places. can you please share your mail id so that I can share pictures with you.
Hello Kavitha and I am sorry for being so slow to respond. I am not an expert with my planer, just a hobbyist and so if you are still experiencing difficulties, I would be contacting the business who sold you the printer who may then put you in touch with Makita.
Not sure if you'll see this as you commented over a year ago but can't hurt to try.... That's unfortunately extremely hard or impossible to prevent depending on the type of wood, figured wood is especially troublesome, such as curly maple. You can try cutting off as little as possible with each pass and changing the feed direction to match the grain, but doing both of those things will still not be enough for nice figured hardwood pieces. It's not the fault of the planer, you'll get the same results with all standard planers that use a set of "2 big knives" for cutting. The "peeling off" you mention happens because the entire knife strikes the board at the same time, i.e. it cuts a 2 big chunk out of the board for every spin of the cutterhead and in figured woods this can result in "more than you asked for coming along for the ride". You will need to upgrade to a helical spiral cutterhead to fix the issue. This type of cutter head has 40+ small carbide cutters that strike the wood at an angle. This will give you clean finish on figured woods because it takes much smaller shavings off and most of all because even the much smaller carbide cutters they still "enter the wood" at an angle which basically eliminates the conditions necessary to cause a "peel out". I just did this upgrade to my 2012nb last week and the results are amazing. But it was not an easy or cheap thing to do, I even had to file away some of the aluminum body of the planer for things to fit. The new cutterhead cost about $400 which is half the cost of the planer itself :o

Nicely done video - really great editing, loads of useful, real life information. Thank you!

Not gonna lie... Malcolm got them GUNS! lol great video.
He certainly does but also works hard to have and keep them.
I have one of these too, great piece of kit!
I think we have both made a good choice. Joshua.

Informative and an interesting watch as always. Keep em coming!
Thank you, Ben.
Very professionally-made video as always!
Thank you for your support, Finn.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your support, Nico.
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Steve, more in the pipeline.

Great vid as usual AM. Just luv your vids. Tell Malcolm he needs a hair cut 🤣.......
Thank you Steve and agreed!
Another good Video ,does your 2012 lock into place after adjusting the height between cuts
Thanks👍👍

mine has just arrived this morning . like the outfeed tables idea. how do you find dust extraction

3:04 Wow is that Arnold Junior? The guns on that lad should be illegal.
And still growing, Ben. He's both skilled and strong.
