    Feeling pretty frustrated here. I don't have a jointer so I put together a planer sled out of 3/4" plywood and have been running my 4/4 walnut stock through it. I've cut the wood down to length, each piece is 26" (final will be 24"). I'm pressing down on the wood on one end and putting shims...

    I have an older 13 inch Craftsman planer that works fine. Rather than get a new set of cutter blades, does anyone know if there is a suitable replacement cutter that has spiral blades that would fit? Thanks in advance.

    Hello, im dreaming of upgrading my planer to a helical head. I have an old 20” grizzly. I’d love a Powermatic 209HH but probably can’t afford and never see them under 6k. I do occasionally see better deals on the straight knife 209 model used. My question is- is there any reason not to buy a...

    Hello everyone, I'm building a dining table that's about 4.5 ft long lengthwise. I don't own a jointer so I'm trying to find what the best method for face jointing the boards. My thought was to buy a sheet of 3/4" melamine and use that as a flat reference surface and shim the boards and run...

    Hello from the UK! I'm new to the forums but I thought this would be the place to come for knowledge. I'm trying to get a start up going in the cricket bat manufacturing business so I'm building the tool collection slowly, however one of the most important to have is a 'round bottom plane' and...

    Hello all, One of the first things i built was a large workbench with a top that is around 20 2x4s. Nothing out of the ordinary, it looked like that is what most people had when i was researching. The problem i had was that it has a pretty significant bow from front to back. The clamps i had at...

    I recently purchased a Delta Rockwell Planer 22-401. It was working great until the belt that drives the cutterhead broke. It is part 22-424, Cutterhead Drive Belt, 7M Polyflex. 66.9 inches OC. The belt is 0.26 inches wide at the top, and 0.08 inches at the bottom where it meets the pulley...

    I recently received a lot of tongue and groove hardwood flooring samples (24"x24") and I'd like to mill them down into usable boards. Unfortunately they all have a fiberboard backing, which when removed reveal a lot of gummy glue/adhesive. I'm fairly sure running the boards through the planer...

    I get Vevor’s sale emails as I bought from them in the past (not woodworking equipment). I didn’t know they sold planers until today’s email ad arrived. They have several models including a combination jointer/planer. As an example, this planer is a 2 blade model with stand and 2 extra...

    Good Morning. I recently acquired a used, but well cared for, Craftsman 6 1/8" Jointer/Planer (113.206801) and have purchased a spiral head cutter to install. I also plan on replacing the bearings. What are the steps to removing the old cutter head and installing the new one. If there is a...

    The blades for a 12.5 inch delta planner are two sided and are designed to be disposable. Is it possible to buy blades that can be sharpened but are still "easy" to install?

Here's an example video demonstrating the technique: Planing Jig - How to Use Your Planer to Joint Wood | Woodworking Jig -...

    I took my planer apart to move and now after putting everything back together I can't get the gears that lower and raise the table to mesh. I don't see any adjustment to make. Any suggestions?

    I am building a cart for a miter saw. Using 2x4 and milling it down to 1-1/4x3. I've got multiple doubts in the process I am using. First I cut to length. Second I run it through the jointer on the side. Third I run it through the jointer on the face... trying to get that perfect 90° angle...

    I inherited a Foley Belsaw 985 thickness planer which I recently started using on a 120BF of 8/4 FAS Hard Maple and am having a problem with uneven wear in the knives. I've searched this forum and others for a similar issue but no luck finding anything. I'm looking for recommendations on what...

    Hi, I figured this might be a good place to ask about my thickness planer. I'm starting a business with my brother and we've been chasing this issue for months now, it's preventing us from actually starting to work, since it completely ruins the piece... The problem we're chasing is a random...
