BEGINNERS Guide to Using an Electric Planer.

How to Use an Electric Planer. A Beginners Guide. The Electric Planer would have to be one of the handiest tools in the workshop. It’s basically a hand plane on steroids which makes them super fast and highly efficient!
Like all power tools, the electric planer can be a scary tool for the newly initiated. In this video, l hope to build up your confidence and take away the fear factor when using the planer.
The planers come in both corded and battery-powered models. I’m a bit old school and have a corded planer, that way l always have 100% power at all times.
The good thing about the corded model is that you can pick up a good one for a reasonably cheap price compared to the good quality battery-powered models.
I hope you find this video useful and continue to grow in confidence when it comes to using power tools of all types.
Cheers 
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁🇦🇺

Just wanted to say how useful this video has been for me, I bought an electric planer about 10 years ago, to planer a single door, did that and it has sat in its case on the shelf since as I wasn't sure how to use if for much else - this video has really helped me understand what it does and how to use it well. I've got into some small wood working tasks during 'lock down' and watched so many youtube videos where they have these amazing workshops, your videos are great in that your setup is not dissimilar to my own - a work bench and some basic power tools - and I feel like I can do what you're showing.

Piece shot away and my finger ends went into the cutter. Could see the boney ends etc. Sounds obvious, but working with it every day hanging doors, familiarity breeds contempt. It took nearly 2 years to grow sufficient skin etc to 'look normal' and about another 6 years for feeling to return. I did know better. :0/ These things are NOT forgiving.

Just came across your channel whilst researching electric planes, instantly subscribed. Thank you for the great information.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Awesome! Thanks Chris 👍 Hope you can stick around for many more vids to come mate 👍😁🇦🇺

[@thesonofdormammu5475]

Excellent video, I just got a planer as a gift (never used one before) and these tips will really help!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Glad it was helpful mate and good luck with the planer! 👍😁

[@badaspunkbtch]

In America, women have to be completely self taught. We're treated horribly by men in this field. So your video is very helpful! I appreciate how you explain things.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😊👍.....Thanks for that...glad l could help 👍

[@zachs9638]

Same for most people..

[@j0ker808]

Uhh, where do you think every other man learns…

[@H3xx99]

If you're going to work with reclaimed wood, invest in an actual metal detector. Aluminum nails will laugh at your magnet and puch your planer in the teeth.

[@abj9121]

Better a carbide blade and can cut any nail or almost any screws too.

[@cchavezjr7]

Most steel blades will cut aluminum no problem. If it's carbide, even better. It's steel nails and screws that will kill a blade fast.

[@leehaelters6182]

@@cchavezjr7, right on. The reason one of my preferred push sticks on the table saw is aluminium with a bird’s mouth. Nothing drastic happens if the blade is grazed, just cuts through it.

1. Pipe clamp vice deserves a video of its own. 2. How to avoid streak marks when using an electric planer for face planing as opposed to edge planing?
