    I purchased an electric (Corded) hand planer & the thing with the sniping has had me a little apprehensive about using it on my projects. But, what you said about using longer than needed pieces of wood that has to be planed to help eliminate the sniping gave me renewed hope in using it! So, thanks again & I'll let you know shortly if it did the trick for me or not.

  • @just-dl
    @just-dl 5 лет назад

    looks good. glad your getting good results. I got a suggestion for you that might be hard to explain, but, here goes....get a small (20-gal or so) thrash can with tight fitting lid (very important). Get two-inch piping, and more of those couplers. The idea is to connect the shop vac to a 2" pipe on one side of the trash can; then connect the planer to a 2" pipe on the opposite side of the can, using the couplers in each case. Some silicone sealer may be in order to make the pipes as airtight as possible, where they penetrate the can. When the lid is on, the shop vac creates suction in side the trash can, which creates suction in the opposite pipe, leading to the planer . Sawdust is pulled into the can, but, most will fall in the can, and not get sucked up into the shop vac. (which saves the shop vac filter/motor). I've not done this yet, as my planer is outside now. But, I want to use my planer year round, so I'm working on making the space for this.

  • @scottcarpenter910
    @scottcarpenter910 5 лет назад +1

    Not sure if you’ve figured this out yet or not, but the snipe doesn’t come from the table. It comes from the rollers grabbing the material. Yes the table sucks and tried adjusting it and just went with the longer board like you said also.
    All that being said I have the same planner and I absolutely love it. Happy wood working man. Thanks for sharing

    Get yourself a bucket head and a 5 gallon bucket. Cut a circle large enuff to cover your trash can. Cut a circle in the middle of the trashcan lid that fits the 5 gallon bucket. Cut the bottom of bucket off and place i side the trashcan lid and silicone the bucket and now you have a larger dust collection system. Just my thoughts

    All Planers have adjustment ,to take out the Snipe and leveling set screws. These are close , but not dead on for shipping reasons . Also your adjustment rods for your thickness can be tightened and adjusted , to reduce the "looseness" in your height adjustment. You'll also have slack in your height adjusting handle . A simple drill and tap , for a set screw will eliminate that ,,, even the best machine shop Mills have what is called "Thread slap" , you'll always have to do ,,what is known as "catching the threads" . You have to lower the weight of the adjustment past your measurement and the come back up or down to your final finish thickness . this is the difference of the "lands" and depth of the Threads on your Adjusting rods and and adjustment threads in your handle. Most standard threads of nuts and bolts are 75% contact . if you get into a higher percentage of 80 or 90 % it will take a tool and dye shop to cut those threads to match the opposing threads ,,, thus resulting in a much much higher priced machine . Adjust your machine , so it's setting dead nuts level and secured to a bulky firm table or base , adjust that machine out , so those feed tables are level with the machine and cutting head . check your knives to make sure they are running true with the drum and each other , and you'll be amazed at the results .

    I hope that the dependability of that Bauer planer holds up good for you. Of course, that's what is very important. A nice, new & shiny tool sure looks good, but how does it hold up under a lot of use. I am retired and make wood crafts as a hobby. I have a Dewalt 13", 3 knife planer that I bought slightly used from a friend about 6 years ago and it does a good job. Except the dust collection is not very good and that's even with having a 16 gal. shop vac hooked up to it. Yea....gotta get a cyclone dust system built...!! If I can ever afford it, I will upgrade to a helix cutter style planer one of the days...years...LOL..!! Best of luck on your Bauer planer..!!!

      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  4 года назад

      You can build a "Sled" to go all the way through. You'll loose a 1/2 of depth but its an option. Always plane your pieces BEFORE you cut to actual length so you can cut off the snipe. This is a great planer but yes... the silver folding sleds kinda do suck maybe a bit more than $500+ Planers.

    @g.m.forsythe9626 4 года назад +1

    Cheapest easy fix for snipe that I've come across so far....get a sacrificial board approximately the same thickness as what you're planing, and run it through first. Before it's finished, butt your workpiece against the end of the sacrificial piece and run it through. Before the end of your workpiece gets into the planer, take the sacrificial piece and butt it up against the end of your workpiece and let it run through. The rollers cannot force the workpiece up on the "outside" end of the board, hence no snipe. You don't need to make the board any longer than needed.
    I've also heard that running the workpiece in at an angle works, but I have no experience with this.
    A more expensive solution (but one that works with badly out of line boards) is demonstrated here: ruclips.net/video/DNg9BV4IF2Q/видео.html

    The “rubber gasket” is called a “Fernco” fitting used in sewer line piping. Upgrade to a large vac otherwise you will be emptying more than you will be planning. I had a large wet/dry vac and after emptying it 3-4 times a day, I decided to go for a central system with a large garbage can placed just before the central vac. That way you collect the larger pieces without it going into the central system. I bought my air filtration system at Harbor Freight and modified it by adding a 1 micron filter bought separately. Your lungs will appreciate it and you will save thousands on doctor bills. Use a dust mask no matter what system you use. You don’t want lung cancer!!
