A thickness planer used to get 2 surfaces of a board parallel and then reduce them to a controlled thickness
No training requirement, but please seek advice from other woodshop users if you are unfamiliar with its use
Often used in conjunction with the surface planer which makes the initial flat surface on one face of the board
The mechanism has a tendancy to jam if used without chip extraction, for which the portable portable dust extractor should be used
Do not attempt to plane end grain (e.g. glued up cutting board) in this machine, they are very likely to break and fire back out of the machine
Do not attempt to plane short workpieces (less than around 250mm long) - they will be unsupported by the feed rollers during the middle of the cut so will spin and jam inside the machine
