I always feared and avoided these planers untill I was recently given a new one as a present. I couldn't figure it out. . . till now!!!! Thanks a lot I will follow your procedure step by step. Cheers!!!!
I just did my first hand planer blade replacement today without a previous clue on how it's done. I seriously chipped the old blade, running it into the tip of a wood screw I didn't realize was sticking out there. That led me to click on this video. I should go back to it tomorrow and do those adjustments. Thanks for the info.
I love it very much. Thank you, to make the adjustments a bit easier; use a wooden stick, turn the deepness on 0.5 mm and turn with your finger the cylinder bringing the stick forwards write down where the stick stops on the sole. Repeat this on the other side of the blade as soon the lines are the same move to the other blade and repeat. Good luck and good health to your family thanks for sharing , all the way from Mexico.
thank you so much!!! these details aren't covered in other videos. elegant and simple solutions. I did not consider sanding the two base plates for proper matching.
Great video and information. I just picked up a new planer yesterday for one job. I am sure it will need calibration as it is not the most expensive type!
I have always tuned my hand planes, but never done this on my power planes. I always just accommodate any alignment issues with how I use it. I think it is time I tuned the power planes. I've never seen the little blade depth strip on my older (2nd hand ) planes and always wondered what the threaded holes were for. Thanks for the video.
Brilliant tutorial !! a little hint, whever you go to the garbage dump always ask the guys if there are any old over doors with the GLASS still attached...you can never have to mant tempered oven door glass plates lying around. PeaceFromOZ.
With work, I can get a board flat with a "manual" hand plane.. but, have grown weary of it. Got an electric one earlier this year, and its defect is like your first example. Thanks for this tutorial!
Thanks a lot, I definitely need to check mine, and I fear it will also be off as seen by my poor reamsults when using it. Your channel is simply great! Thanks for sharing your high skills with us.
Great Great Job! Recently - had to change my blades - Forgot what I did last time - Originally had the small carbide double sided blades - Decided I wanted the old style. Rewatched many videos. Mine did not come with the - a the “ GUIDE BLOCK” that now comes with the planer. Also my adjustment screw and the dial don’t align or at least don’t make sense to me intuitively - since in a way Zero degrees would be - the front and back plates are even and turning clockwise would intuitively make the front plate raise - But at zero degrees you can’t raise the plate anymore anyway I often have to prefigure out how to start cutting with the tool- Also I must check the flatness of the back and front- NO doubt they are NOT at zero even!!! And therefore the tool is usually used to remove great amounts of material before making things precise using other methods . Thanks for the tutorial - Greatly appreciate it!!!
Bloody brilliant - many thanks! Its good to know that even Makita kit needs calibrating. Have to use my dad's old Black & Decker PoS model and now I stand a fighting chance of getting it usable this weekend LOL :D
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out why i always got a bow in the middle. Checked my planer after watchin this n yup! Sure as heck its out! (I might try n cheat using my 4" wide belt sander to clean it up... altho i could see that going wrong... lol)
Can someone recommend a good “Tool Vice/Clamp” and/method to hold this planer (and other types of tools) in place while working on them; and not damage them? That’s been my frustration…as it’s difficult to make adjustments, especially fine tuning when the tool doesn’t stay in the position you needed.
it should have a through hole on the side for a slide rod. or at least some bolt holes. bolt it to any old 90degree bracket and fix to your table/bench
@@kruskotv1311 adjust the front plate untill the lower side touch with the sandpaper, after that give few stroke on sand paper also lower step by step each time until the front plate aligned with the back plate (dead flat)
it's a good video, and it would be even better if you were clear about the grits of both sandpapers used. as far as uses of the planer as a handheld tool, i agree it has limited use, but it is very useful for rough planing high spots on one side of a board flat (so that it sits flat and doesnt rock) before it goes into a surface planer. and for that purpose it doesnt have to be a high-precision tool, cuz you are going to flip that board and finish the surface in the surface planer but i really like the way you made it into a precision tool that will work better than ever in any application
Most planners can be set up with a few adjustments.There are mounting bolts on the blade mounts that are readily changed .Good video
Overwhelmed! Finally I see how to adjust this type of blade without setting gauge. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you very much from Turkey, I learned how to solve an important problem, I wish you health and a peaceful life.
Fantastic video, I just learnt more about my electric planer than I have in the 10 years that I've owned it ! Thank you!

nice way to learn about the planer. love the glass tip. great way to get flatness in a home shop
Never thought it would be this simple to calibrate and have a good hand planer! Thanks for sharing the information!
thank you so much!!! these details aren't covered in other videos. elegant and simple solutions. I did not consider sanding the two base plates for proper matching.
Thank you for posting. I avoided using mine because of the ugly grooves it left. I feel more confident that I can set mine up right now.

Excellenta I liked your calibration already CHIEF

ahh thank you! I have always foubd the mis aligned base on my planers so annoying! I am so glad I foiund your video
I was going to run my belt sander over the bottom but I like your method a lot better
With work, I can get a board flat with a "manual" hand plane.. but, have grown weary of it. Got an electric one earlier this year, and its defect is like your first example. Thanks for this tutorial!
My bosh pl1632 was getting on my nerves, man. It keeps taking off materials from one side of the wood. Your video is going to be so helpful
shoulda guessed. thanks for pointing out the dodgy workmanship on the tools, will be sure to check, just purchased one.
Thank you so much Sir for your Best tutorial videos... You solved my problem for the alignment... YOUR THE BEST!
Great video i use a magnet on a small wooden straight edge holds the blade while setting up less fidley
Thanks a lot, I definitely need to check mine, and I fear it will also be off as seen by my poor reamsults when using it.
Your channel is simply great! Thanks for sharing your high skills with us.
A brilliant and simple solution.
Very helpful video, thank you. I am amazed that sandpaper will work so well on aluminium
Thank you so much for showing! Now I can adjust my old planer !
Nice job Jhon just came across your video liked what I seen, and I subscribed. Thank you for that. Billy from Scotland 🏴 UK
Great Great Job!
Recently - had to change my blades -
Forgot what I did last time -
Originally had the small carbide double sided blades -
Decided I wanted the old style.
Rewatched many videos.
Mine did not come with the - a the “ GUIDE BLOCK” that now comes with the planer.
Also my adjustment screw and the dial don’t align or at least don’t make sense to me intuitively - since in a way Zero degrees would be - the front and back plates are even and turning clockwise would intuitively make the front plate raise -
But at zero degrees you can’t raise the plate anymore anyway I often have to prefigure out how to start cutting with the tool-
Also I must check the flatness of the back and front- NO doubt they are NOT at zero even!!!
And therefore the tool is usually used to remove great amounts of material before making things precise using other methods .
Thanks for the tutorial -
Greatly appreciate it!!!
Thanks I somehow lost my manual and you covered the how toos for me
It would be great if you could do an adjustment on the other planner too (black&orange) .
I have the same one but having problems with it
I think there are magnetic tools for setting jointer blades. Maybe they can be used on a hand planer as well.
What grade of sandpaper do you use to accentuate the base of the brush, excellent tutorial, greetings friend!
Damn! that was so useful. My power planer seriously needs this procedure. Thanks!
Good explaining, i would add corner off the sharp edges of the blades for planing wider boards although this will bite you if making a rabbit.
I agree with you
That's new way of doing it... I tune up by adding bushings below the base plate
Very helpful and informative
Thanks so much! This is very informative and made a lot of sense.😊
Thank you
Bloody brilliant - many thanks! Its good to know that even Makita kit needs calibrating. Have to use my dad's old Black & Decker PoS model and now I stand a fighting chance of getting it usable this weekend LOL :D
black n decker were yesterdays makita😂 all cheap crap. just marketing glory now they dont last long enough to prove themselves good tools.
Excellent John, very informative!
Thank you 🤗
Thanks for uploading!
as you have altered the platen does this mean you can no longer use the blade setting gauge that comes with the planer?
You can, as you set the blades to be level with the base (when set to 0) - after tuning the base.
Ya done good, real good!
thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out why i always got a bow in the middle. Checked my planer after watchin this n yup! Sure as heck its out!
(I might try n cheat using my 4" wide belt sander to clean it up... altho i could see that going wrong... lol)
Mantap Jhon, di tunggu power tools untuk asah mata pisau nya.
Makasih banyak mas, siap nanti akan saya design untuk asah mara planernya
Mantap om tutornya👍👍👍
Bisa jadi solusi... Dan tambah pengetahuan 🤗🤗🤗
Makasih mas, senang jika bermanfaat buat yg lain
coba dibuat konten aja mas tris
Siap om ... 🙏🙏🙏
☺️☺️☺️ Semangat💪💪💪

Great video ..
You do the calibration with the planner set to minimum or maximum depth?
I do calibrate the blade using back plate as my reference nothing to do with adjuster front plate
@@jhonarief And when you are sanding ? What is the position of front plane then ?
@@kruskotv1311 adjust the front plate untill the lower side touch with the sandpaper, after that give few stroke on sand paper also lower step by step each time until the front plate aligned with the back plate (dead flat)
@@jhonarief Thank you my friend, your videos are great
Nice video thank you so much
good stuff love it
Very helpful… thank you!
Thanks you are helping a lot of people. Factory machines are not correct build.
it's a good video, and it would be even better if you were clear about the grits of both sandpapers used. as far as uses of the planer as a handheld tool, i agree it has limited use, but it is very useful for rough planing high spots on one side of a board flat (so that it sits flat and doesnt rock) before it goes into a surface planer. and for that purpose it doesnt have to be a high-precision tool, cuz you are going to flip that board and finish the surface in the surface planer
but i really like the way you made it into a precision tool that will work better than ever in any application
He said 400 and 800 grit
400 for the first sheet and 800 for the second wasnt it. he said it quite clearly.
Bonjour de France,
Merci pour le partage.
Excellent travail de précision
MICHEL31
Excellent
Wel Done 👍👍👍
Nice job
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Sandpaper which number these 2 sandpaper sir
I use 400 grit and 800 grit
genius!
Does anyone know what is the position of front plate when he is sanding ?
front plate must be aligned as flat as rear plate/base & you can start sanding.
مشكور
Mantap mas..terima kasih
Terimakasih jg mas🙏
Clean 🖍️
Mine is older than that. It has no adjustments.
Nice
Thanks infonya om
👍
👍👍👍👍👍
my fixed base (rear) is below my blades! Will I have to disassemble and adjust the blades? It seems like it's a bit complicated!
Who can I buy this plenar machin

Hi
Pertamax lg
Mantap
Bought a cheap planer today. Guess what I am doing tomorrow?

No words, just likessssssss!!! You are late to the party - P r o m o S M!!
😊👍👍👍👍👍
You need to plane a planer :P
To all beginners don't do this kind of set-up this is content only...
Try fixing your sound.
Thank you very much.
