I clicked this video because I recently inherited a large hand plane and small block plane when my grandmother passed away. The planes belonged to my grandfather who had passed 25yrs prior, and have been sitting in his shop since then, so they're in need of attention. I was quite surprised when I reached the part where you described the history of your planes. This video seems to be a perfect introduction to getting them back into working condition. Thanks!

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzbin.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

Alright this is the sort of beginner's guide I was hoping to find. I purchased a plane on a whim, and couldn't figure out how to get it to cut without jamming and not cutting, or why none of the dial adjustments did not increase the cut. Didn't want to disassemble everything without a clue in the world. It's the explanation of moving parts that really made it make sense, instead of the too complicated breakdowns.
@dudeistpriest787 Жыл бұрын
If it makes you feel any better I disassembled my brand new hand plane, sharpened the blade to a mirror edge... then promptly failed to do anything but chew the wood to pieces. Been trying for 3 days to figure out why, what I did wrong, been searching KZbin and still couldn't figure it out because according to _what I could see_ in the videos I found it should be fine. Stumbled across this one in a fit of annoyance that it still wasn't performing properly, and at precisely the 2:21 mark realized that my problem was I had put the blade in backward and not a single other video showed the reassembly process clearly enough for me to notice.

I just bought my first hand plane and it is identical to the number 4 of yours. Here in Australia it is branded "Craftright 225mm Bench Plane" and costed me 25 AUD. Without any experience I tried to set it up, but discovered it is not so simple (for a newbie like me). I found your explanation very clear and because you used the model identical to mine it has been very fortunate to me. Liked and subscribed.
