In this woodworking tools tips video, I'll answer the question, "Are electric hand planers any good?". I'll also walk you through the basics of electric hand planers. You'll learn how to used an electric hand planer for beginners. I will teach you how to adjust and install blades. I'll discuss woodworking safety when using a hand planer and I'll also talk about all the basic parts of a hand planer.
There are a lot of things you can do with a hand planer like this. You can join two boards together, fix a sticking door, make chamfer cuts and even flatten glued up panels. I'll give some examples of this in my video.

U are right on true about sharpening the blade of the plane .. its a skill itself .

Oh man... I've been trying to master it for a while. Mine is pretty sharp but still not how I would like it.

They are pretty nice. I really don't use it enough. Part of the reason I made this video was to learn more about it and get better at using it.

Ha! Definitely not. I actually started my channel to get over my fear of being on camera. Thank you.

Great video! My electric hand plane is a lifesaver when hanging doors. I also completely agree that it is better to think of the electric hand plane and manual hand plane as completely different tools instead of one just an electric version of the other.

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Great explainer. I’d love to see a jointer jig video.

I use them for flattening slabs. You can plane is any direction and its faster than using a router sled 👍

I would like to see someone make a comparison between those router sleds and a planer sled Compare results Compare efficiency And even Compare whatever differences in technique is needed to gain best results For me, the first time I saw the router sled, I was wondering why the person did not use an electric hand planer. Maybe there was a good reason I am unaware of

Hmmm. That would be interesting.

Good video but it is not an "either-or" situation. If one has lots of real rough lumber to prepare the electric is a great tool then followed up by hand for the final touch.

I agree. I just felt like this was a fun way to sort of discuss the differences. Thanks for the comment.

Can this electric planer do the job of a hardwood floor sander?

@HowIDoThingsDIY 4 ай бұрын

No. This is much too small and can remove material very quickly. You definitely want to rent a floor sander for that.

Thinking about this channel… I have 2 major issues. 1) You haven’t made enough videos yet. Actually you unlikely to ever get there. 2) You haven’t set up a patreon page. Please correct these issues asap so I can provide my best support for your channel.

my problem with the hand planers is that there is nothing out of the box ready to use. you have to tune em and cost for getting the material to tune them is high.

@HowIDoThingsDIY 8 ай бұрын

Ya, they definitely need some tweaking. Thanks for the comment!
