You got me, with the professional sawdust manufacturer! Great stuff sir. Great review, im going with this model for sure. Thanks for the great info.

Thanks for the video and sharing all of the dimensions. How far apart did you drill each hole? I was thinking 1” might be too close and 2” too far.

Nice! I need a larger flattening jig for slabs. Maybe 12 inches wide...this might work. I would need it to be longer, though. I'm wondering how hard it would be to get a longer jig flat and level. I know I could simply buy one of the ready made metal ones but those are pricey. This seems like such a simple, effective design. Any thoughts?

What is the name of the shellac

Own this very one.... Gear box was out in 4 months. Maybe used it 3 times

that is the werst wrench you could possibly use

3 months is too long to wait for another great video. Waiting 😊

no words , ok 3 😮 ❤

Very interesting Daniel. Good job!

Rest in pieces😂

Oh wow, a piece of sanded down wood 🤣🥴

Trash Resurrection

Cutting boards are like $5. How much is your time worth?

what oil do you use? i have a board here I want to redo.

love how it turned out, man. underrated

This last frame is beautiful but I liked the 3rd installment best , Hopefully I don’t insult you by saying your work is artistry handiwork So great. I mean WOW

I like that you show mistakes also. So I 'm not the only one who makes them. Beautiful work.

Love it!

Short Answer Rubber wheel casters are cheap. Google "Skateboard bearings." Details Since I am not a machinist, I hesitate to use terms like runout, eccentricity, and bearing quality. Instead, I will state the obvious. Rubber wheel casters are cheap. They do not rotate as “smoothly” as the bearings on a car or a bicycle. The wheels are out of round. The axles fit loosely in the bearings. Sleeve bearings are adequate for casters, where the design goal is to roll across carpeting. Google “sleeve bearings vs ball bearings” for how roller bearings may help.. I found ball bearings online for $1/ bearing. Google Skateboard bearings. Even at this price, the lower tolerances should offer a noticeably smoother result. You need other components of compatible dimensions. If the axle does not fit tightly inside the bearing, you have gained little. If you can find a junked bicycle, it will have a complete assembly with two bearings on each wheel, an axle, a wheel hub, and cones which are used to adjust the play in the bearings. If the balls and the “race” inside the hub are not pitted or damaged, the bearings should be fine. All but the cheapest kid's bike should have ball bearings. The frame may look like a tortured pretzel, but the bearings usually have very low mileage on them. Only the most dedicated riders will have put 100 hours or 1000 miles on a bicycle. And they don’t junk their bikes. The size of the assembly may cause some challenges, but at least you can see all the components. Ball bearings are an extraordinary technological achievement. When properly adjusted a bike wheel can spin freely for several minutes, after a quick flick. Try that with rubber casters. Other possible sources are skateboards, moving dollies, hand trucks, and baby carriages.

Thank you for sharing! How quiet this thing is? I have a dewalt dw735 planer right and it is really loud! Is this one quieter then the dewalt one? Ty

شكرًا لك

suggestion for the wheel mount .you could use skateboard bearing ,due to the small size you could put 4 bearing each side i think it would resolve the rocking .ive use these bearing to make drawer and it work great

Thank you for the video! How loud is the planer? I have Dewalt Dw735 and it is super loud, I am thinking of switching to grizzly!

Suggestion for wheel mount - mount on the sides (vertical sides) of the sled. Doing this will allow you to mount it exactly where it needs to be to give you that sweet 1mm clearance above the rolling bottom surface. This will likely resolve your issue of rocking in the original design. Based on your design, you can retrofit it directly into your current build with little modification needed.

Great review. Been pondering this Grizzly because of the helical head. Added one to my old Delta jointer and made a world of difference. Thanks for taking the time to measure for snipe adjusting and remeasuring. Of the several videos I watched on this planer you were the only one who did that. Your video has pushed me over the edge into making this purchase too.

Great video, great construction! The only addition I would do for dust collection is have the entire build 90° rotated. Bottom of bed should imitate a sanding table, as in; a bunch of holes in the bottom of the bed, make an airslot under the bed so the dust can fall in - add vacuum port in the side/front. Then add a sheet of polycarbonate one each side of the sled, so the dust is captured instead of flying everywhere. (this is the reason for the 90° twist as it will require more space to the sides)

Thank you!!!

I like your review and have made the decision to purchase this model because of the helical cutter head, although an automatic carriage lock would be nice and better infeed/outfeed tables. However for the price I think it's a great deal. Much better than the Dewalt 735 which has the straight knives and does not even include the infeed and outfeed tables with the machine. Looks like the bean counters over at Dewalt loose another customer.

Hi i would have thought that the wheels on the jig would be to free and not easy and a little uncontrollable. But it look very good because and I do need to make it or one similar. Very good video ❤👌👍👏👏👏

A lot of work but the result was worth it.

Nice. Sure the boss will love it.

That is such a wonderful idea. Thanks for showing how this was done.

Very nice outcome. Thanks for including the errors. Learned a lot from the whole process including the minor mistakes and showing how to overcome them.

G0815 THUMBS UP FOR NOT MUCH MORE MONEY

I was about to make a router sled to ride on my table saw crosscut sled but your solution is so simple that I'm going to build a dedicated one like yours. Thanks and I subscribed.

What are your dementions on the pacman blocks?

Found this exact same planer under another brand here in Canada, company is ForestWest. And for the rest of this month (10/23) it is $500 off! Pulled the trigger and it’ll be here in a few days. $1050 CDN shipped and with taxes. If that’s not the deal of a lifetime, I dunno what is 👌

Padauk is a beautiful wood.. It's a bit oily so I get better results by first wiping it down with turpentine before applying polyurethane.. Under poly, it will assume an iridescence, changing glow as you tilt the wood under light.. However.. it has now been declared an endangered species and no more can be legally harvested from Africa.. Whatever has been cut is all there will be for a long while.. It joins the list with ebony..

I have this planer. Love it, lot of the wood I run through it is 2200 to 3100 on the janka scale or two to three times as hard as walnut, not uncommonly heavily figured. Generally a lunch box planer with a straight blade has a hard time running through a wide board of hardwood and will shut down. This one doesn’t, with the helical head the blade is only in contact with 1/3 the width of the board at any given moment. There is one correction I made to the planer, it has a restricter on the in-feed side that if your depth of cut is over 1/16 it restricts the width of board to approximately 4” or so and only allows a feed directly down the middle. I like to alternate sides when feeding lumber through. That restriction is just plastic, raised the head and ground it off. The new carbide heads are phenomenal, I’ll never go back to straight steel. Even when they start to dull they still cut and chips are flying unlike straight steel that burns or compresses wood. Ideally as a guy who mills and processes wood I kind of wish I had a large shop planer for processing and just used the smaller grizzly for final passes.

Wow, beautiful work the background music was well picked

Watch out this old house. No words for what I just witnessed, maybe one, WOW 😮

Like it. Been thinking about one for a while. I like the simplicity of your design.

How is your shop so clean??

Thank you so much for including a the noise level in this review. Almost nobody does. Do you still have it? Still like it? Cheers from Chicago.

Excellent

Why is he wearing pant legs on his head?

You will get better results if you screwed the planer to the workbench.

read some really bad things about this planer, like the cutting head not being parallel... its such a crap shoot choosing a machine.

professional sawdust manufacturer? I tell people I handcraft fine artisan toothpicks and hamster cage shavings.

Awesome video. I’m looking forward to making one almost just like yours. Maybe I’ll make a video too! :D
