Damn! That rabbet to hold the shoe plate! Never in a thousand years would I come up with that! I was trying to figure how to make one of these jigs with a minimum of modification to the planer, and here it is in one simple innovation! Thank you!

For now, I think this is the jig for the hand planer. The other jigs are good but I don't think they are suitable for real-world thicknessing or repeated fine adjustments. Please give it a try. Thank you!

Great job, the console is much easier to manufacture than others of this type for the plane. I especially liked the use of thin-walled aluminum corners.

Im litterally in the same boat, just started hoarding pallets. Now stuck on planing everything, made some stuff without planing it but knowing how things should be planed I just cant get satisfied with things.. Ive looked up a few jigs, but this one seems the best, also no modifications on the tool.

Interesting. But… the mounting of the hand planer is a bit misconcepted. In neutral position (0mm) the two sections of the base plate are at same hight as the blade with no removal of material. When adjusting the removal, the front base lifts. Both bases have different height and the blade can trimm the surface to the level of the second base. So in first place, Laying the base plates on the aluminum Profil contradicts the functionality of a hand planner as it is designed to glide on the base to late over the surface. Adjusting the removal will tilt the whole planner in this construction. The blade gets low enough to remove wood, but will only work for a few mm then you have to adjust the jig height or workpeace height again. It would be better to use the housing to fix the planner in perfect horizontal orientation with the front base independent moving. This way you can use the planner like normal but the jig acts as a stop if desired depth is reached. You can remove as much as you want without readjusting.
@kikikumastudioАй бұрын
Can you show us your jig? Of course, you don't drill holes or modify the planer itself, do you? This jig can only cut about 1.5mm at a time, but you can easily adjust the depth by using shims. It can do the work of a jointer and planer. It makes one side flat and then cuts the other side parallel. The aim is to make multiple pieces of material the same thickness. The jig that uses an electric hand planer is not a stationary machines, so it takes a little longer to work. But it works. If you have worked with a hand plane, you will understand this jig better. I am currently working on a video of making a shelf using this jig. Don't miss it!

The plans are literally a couple of pounds/dollars/euros, all you're doing here is paying a nominal sum for the creators time and knowledge. IMHO I don't usually pay for much but was so impressed with the video i bought the download and the plans are clear and precise. Well worth the small outlay.

I just discovered your channel, and I'm really enjoying your videos. Do you have a preference for flattening boards with this jig and a planer, or with the router jig you made?
@kikikumastudio Жыл бұрын
I made both jigs for those who doesn't have a jointer or planer. Difference is that hand planer jig is faster than the router jig to work with. But the router jig results in better surface and uniform thickness. That's when I looked at it with very strict eyes, though. Oh, hand planer jig is much much easier to make if you don't mind having the rather minor tool. Stationary planer is my first choice in the way I work. If it is a figured wood and has many tearout after planing, I will clean it up with the router jig. I hand plane all materials after the planer so few rough spots is fine for common woods. Thank you for your comment. Hope you have fun with both jigs.

how does the planed board not block on the aluminum rail placed at the back of the planer?
@kikikumastudio10 ай бұрын
You need to understand how the bottom plate and blade of the planer move. The plane body is fixed at a certain height with two rails, and when you turn the knob to make a deeper cut, the front base plate moves up, allowing the blade to drop lower than the rails. The blade must be lowered to a level greater than the thickness of the aluminum part. It's about 1mm. That way, the back rail won't get in the way when you cut the material. It took me some time and experimentation to understand this mechanism as well. This idea may have never been tried before. Although it's not a perfect jig, it can solve some of the difficulties of using an electric planer. Thank you for asking.

Nice Job. May be with a couple of vertical slots on each planner support, the support could be adjusted vertically instead of adding spacers between cuts.
@kikikumastudio Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your suggestion. Please let me know as I don't quite understand. How do you adjust the height? Also, is it possible to repeatedly adjust the height by 0.3mm (0.0118inch)?
@actionjksn10 ай бұрын
@@kikikumastudioPut threaded inserts into the bottom of the feet. Screw bolts into the threaded inserts and you just turn the bolts to raise it or lower it on each corner.
@kikikumastudio8 ай бұрын
So you need to adjust the four bolts in the corners each time. It would be difficult to move the support parallel to the planer blade and make the 0.3 mm adjustment not once or twice but repeatedly. Using spacers may be a silly idea, but surely you can adjust the support to the desired height. Using bolts might work for other jigs. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing the idea anyway!

I have a question, in my planer, the bottom sole in the back and the front sole in the front end exactly where the plastic body ends. In your planer there is extra metal coming from the front and back. How do I adjust for my planer?
@asderven6 ай бұрын
I bought the plans, I’ll still make the jig. Mine is a Bosch electric hand planer. Just wondering if you have any ideas on how to modify the planer so I can attach it to the rails securely?
@kikikumastudio6 ай бұрын
This jig can be used with your planer. Since there is no protruding part on the front or back, you cannot attach a holding material to the rail as it was designed 08:58. You don't need the holding piece when flattening the board, but you should have a problem when lifting the planer and moving it around with the jig. So what I can suggest is to use the screw holes for accessories on the side of the planer. You can make parts from aluminum or brass sheets. Cut a groove in the rail crosspiece and insert the part. Hope this solves the problem.

Added a free drawing for Bosch planers at kikikuma store. This is a reference drawing of a holding parts for a model without front and rear overhangs. It is a rough idea as I have not actually tried it. I hope it will be of some help. Please let me know if it worked. Thank you!

@@kikikumastudio thank you, I will look it over and see if it works. Or I make something different to work. I made the body wider (about two times, using a 10mm aluminium bar to reinforce the plywood), made the body longer as well for my specific case. I adjusted all the measurements from your drawings to my specific measure. Hopefully this weekend or the next week I will build and test this.
