No matter how long something has been around, and people think that every facet has been figured out- there is always something else to invent. Genius work my dude
This is such a great idea that it's hard to believe the planer manufacturers haven't actually released their own attachments for this or designed the planers to support it. Drastically more efficient than the router-based approach that so many people seem to be using. Thanks for sharing!
@@JohnPatersonAu That was my thought too. The only ways to adjust the depth with this is minor adjustments with the knob and larger adjustments with shims. Router seems easier, though slower.
@@blakeshedd5354Shims to raise the work-piece should be easy enough with standard aluminium sheet. Cut small plates or discs for the corners in 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc.
I have a hand planer like yours. I have had it for close to 25 years. Lost the manual. Never new how to properly aline the blades until I watched your video. Thaks for posting. Love your videos.
@@FIGGY65 undoubtedly! I'm in the process now of doing this with linear rods and bearings. The edge guide holes and brackets are perfectly positioned for it. I'm actually putting it on a base so that it lines up on my bench and is held in place with dogs I'm putting on the bottom. Now it'll just be a matter of depth settings and boom... let the shavings begin!!
@@carterscustomrods . Very good info Sir! So you are mounting it upside down🧐? I was going to investigate his depicted planer, and will look into your model as well. I’d love to see a picture of your finished setup! Happy New Year to You!
@@renem8130 yeah because of the variation in grain direction you should definitely go with the router, remember to have sacrificial prices of wood on the entrance and exit end of your path with the router tho to make sure your table top has 0 tear out :)
‘I flattened a bench top with a router but as you say this seems way easier. I think that it is important to have sharp blades in the plane. Also I fancy that his method of mounting the plane on the rails was more complicated than necessary.
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
Excellent! I've been wanting a planer, but can't afford the benchtop kind. However, I did buy an electric hand planer similar to that, but I haven't had much success with it. This, my friend, is a game changer! Great idea, thanks for sharing!
Portable planers cannot flatten a timber slab, so this method is the best way to go. You also need shims for each corner of the slab. to raise it in 1mm steps. 4 x 1mm, 4 x 2mm 4 x 3mm, etc. Make a cut with 1mm shims. Reset the job with 2mm shims, make another cut and so on.
Totally agree, my dude is terrifying to watch on the table saw. Seriously brother, the reach overs, narrow pushes on finger tips with angled cuts, insanely dangerous.
Funny, but my father did a similar thing , with castor wheels, with an electric planer 35 years ago! Too bad there was no RUclips back then! Great video 😱😂👍

Was trying to do something like that for a long time, in the end I got 2 HGR20 rails and made a router sled. Absolutely love what you did 😃👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
This can come very handy to me that I’m just starting woodworking as a side hobby and I already own an electric hand planner, matter of fact I own this exact model, Makita I believe? Thank you, love your channel
Good build, but ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP when working on the tablesaw, you were in great danger of having your arm pulled into the blade if the sleeve had been caught by it.
Viewers: Please don't ever reach over your table saw blade like that. It's a simple safety tip: don't stick your hand above OR in back of the blade, ever.
Raise your hand if you've ever used one of these hand planers and "planed" the cord on the backstroke... 🖐 ⚡⚡Thanks for the cool video. I like the idea.
TY 4 the brainstorming ideas,showing me what not to do / how to make the jig simpler. Also, you should review your video to count how many times your hand passed over the saw blade to place the wood on the other side of the fence!
One thing very few people noticed, is the GREAT use of the MAKITA Model 1912B Planer, which is WIDER that the standard electric hand planer: (4 3/8" versus only 3 1/4")... this makes it much better than using the common 3 1/4" hand planer. That model is very powerful, precise and solid, and its baseplate is bigger, giving a better, flatter planning. ITs only drawbacks are that Makita only has High Speed Steel blades in 4 3/8", which have a less hard and durable edge, although those can be conveniently resharpened thanks to the guide included in the planer; and that the shavings discharge port is not round, making it difficult to connect the the vacuum, otherwise it is a unique and wonderful machine.
I appreciate your knowledge! Not sure I'd necessarily want a wider one for many projects....surprising that they'd design an ejection port that wasn't round!! Very odd...I have a Bosch....using it for years, but I wish had a battery powered Makita....I think it also has better placed threaded sockets on the sides, for attaching "homemade" gizmos like rails...
@@samuelluria4744 ADDING threaded inserts to the sides (or top or front/rear) of the tool body is easier than you may think... I have used those threaded inserts meant for wood, with coarse threads outside and machinescrew threads inside, both in 1/4 20 and 5/16 18 (larger preferable!), because those are readily available here in Mexico. But I plan to investigate in detail the "E-Z Press™ Special for plastic" inserts. On my large MAKITA 1912B 4 3/8" wide planer, I am planning (pun intended!) to cut some threads into the thick aluminum sole plate, because those would be even firmer than attaching screws into the insert into the plastic body of the planer, and the thick base plate allows plenty of room. By designing a good adjustable height mechanism, this can result in a quite precise adjustment, and that could mean an inexpensive tool many times more affordable than a Bench Planer or Edge Jointer. The several excellent videos from a couple of extraordinary Japanese (or Oriental) carpenters, show clearly that, working with patience and dedication, precise enough bench tools can be made with wood or combined materials from inexpensive electric hand tools.
@@alfredomarquez9777 - Wish you the best on your projects!!! This is something I will have to do at some point! As a side note, does anyone in your area work with a sanding table? There are some factories near me that use them industrially, but they'd charge an arm and a leg for piece work....
Well, there’s definitely enough people on here pointing out how close you are to that blade (they’re right). Done careful, fingers are hard to reattach after they’ve gone through a saw... However, I have one of these planers, and wondered how to get it to work better. I have a router too, but I’m going to try this, it’s a great set up!
how unpredictable do you expect a table saw to behave with a sharp blade and cutting soft wood? I mean it's not a 100 years oak peace or anything. Simple pine is soft and nice to work with, saw cuts through it like a hot knife through the butter.
I was on the fence about getting an electric hand planer after my first failed project and don't have the room for a full sized planer. Thank you so much for this video! I feel dumb for asking but what's the clear stuff you use to apply the block to the back of the hand planer? Silicone caulking?

Man, same sweaty fingers here too. Cut 3 of my fingers myself a few months back & watching it get so close, skipped a lot of the video.

Better advice -> build yourself a run-off table, then no need to reach over and catch work pieces before they fall onto the floor
Watch matthias wandel test on that. It just doesn’t happen on a table saw. Happens on a lathe though
