|---|---|
| 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)
