  • Buy Me a Coffee: bit.ly/3UXEoHK 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 👍😁🇦🇺

    Clamp things every time. EVERY!! Being clever, I was trying to run a wedge across the cutters with left hand, and holding the plane right hand. 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/
