[@KMSchriver]

I just got one and it works great and is awesome for cleaning up those rough lumber pieces. Takes barely a minute per side but the end result makes it worth it. Wish I had it earlier.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

What did you use before?

[@patburke5740]

Great piece of kit.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

I really liked it, pity I use a different platform

[@interman7715]

Great tool .

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Not a bad price either 👍

[@garycollier5257]

Glad to see you moving to the yellow and black

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

I wouldn't say I was moving, but nothing wrong with having several platforms. Some tools are just built better than others for certain applications 👍

[@garycollier5257]

I have one, great tool

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Do you use the cut out in the base?

[@garycollier5257]

LOVE the outtakes

[@RachelJaneHorder]

We're never short of bloopers!!😆

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

One thing that we're never in short supply of! 😆

[@daveentwistle8535]

Can you reduce the chamfer depth by the planer depth knobb?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

You can, but that test run was on a 0.5mm depth so it was almost on its lowest setting.

[@mattseymour8637]

Useful video! I have the same planer and when I try to plane small pieces of wood I find I end up getting trenches and uneven spots although I go with the grain and only take small increments off at a time.
Any tips for better finishes?

[@timdodsworth7388]

This sounds to me like planer snipe which can happen if the planer isn’t flat to the surface (left/right; front/back). If you’re working on smaller pieces try adding supports around the piece to make sure you have a flat reference surface.

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@timdodsworth7388Ok thanks for the advice.
How do I add these supports and where do I add them before beginning to plane the work?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

@@timdodsworth7388 great advice Tim. Thank you 👍

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

@@mattseymour8637 you could clamp the guides either side of the piece you wish to plane.

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@ChampionsOfTheTradeWhere are the guides located on the planer?

[@Flipping_Assets]

What's the screw knob on the front of the machine?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

It's for holding the guide rail that slides in through the hole on the side. 👍

[@WaleshiddenhistoryMD]

Most dangerous hand tool... Pmsl.. clearly you don't use chainsaws then

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Not as an electrician, no. 😂
