Revision as of 17:46, 28 March 2021

Project: Planers
Tools: Wrenches
Parts: Frames, Nuts, Bolts, Plates, End caps
Techniques: Shelf joints, Tri joints


Challenges

Planers or thicknessers use a spinning blade or series of cutting tools to flatten a board to a desired thickness. Thicknessing wood can require a powerful motor and sharp tools moving quickly. Engineering a safer tool than commercial equivalents is a goal, but great care with respect to safety should be practiced around any such tool.

Approaches

Parts

  • Dewalt portable planer
  • Shelix helical carbide cutting head - shares tooling with lathe and mill

Interoperability

Development targets

  • Replimat planer (frame, pillow block bearings, flat steel blades sharpened on grinder with replimat linear bearing attachment, motor, V wheels, sheet stock, hardware)
