Changing The Knives On My Electric Planer

- Changing the worn out and beat up knives in my handheld electric planer. I use this for general flattening and shaping, but nothing that requires a high level of dimensional precision, therefore I'm not overly concerned if the knives are not perfectly set.

I keep finding myself digging through the I build it scrap bin .... I really enjoy watching videos like this, thank you for taking the time to post them here
"Tightened 'til it's... tight enough..." Back in my Army Aviation days, we called that "German Torque." You know - Gutentite.
I have an almost identical planer by another well known bright yellow brand. Excellent machine which was instrumental in many of my larger projects. Life was good and I was going to get married and have kids and retire with some meaningful time left in this body. Then the blades needed adjustment. I realized I didn’t have the alignment jig that it came with so I macgyvered one which worked amazingly well, and allowed for me to adjust to an actual zero. Long story short don’t throw away the stuff that comes with new power tools because your macho ego deems it to be unnecessary gimmicky junk.
I think you kind of missed the point I was making. Also, I don't think guys throw away the gimmicky junk that comes with the planer, they just don't bother to read the instructions to find out what it is :)
*parts fly across the room*
"Well, that knocked most of the dust out"
Perfect.
The jointer has become a nice table :)
Love your humor John.......that is ONE of the reasons this makes a great channel....BUT not to mention that you have GREAT ideas on methods/procedures/knowledge of your trade. Never would have thought to put the cord under the planner to clear the blade. Keep up the great work......
Love your videos John. Your shop reminds me of my own - "and more shit falling on the floor..." LOL!
I have the Bosch professional version, it only has a single reversible blade, as opposed to your Makita with 2, however the Bosch produces a near perfect finish ranging from 0 to 2.6mm smallest measurable depth I can get is 0.1mm & the bonus is, as planer blades usually come in packs of 2, they last twice as long. I'm more than happy with it.
John John John, sometimes you can be really funny. You must have been in good spirits for this one. Maybe because it was just going to be short and not a project, off the cuff so to speak. The “dust mask” and “you can’t see it , just believe me” were a laugh! Thanks for sharing and giving me a little humor today!
MRrwmac agree, this channel is currently the most entertaining in my subscribtion list.
Have the same planer. Thanks for the "rollout" solution, yet a bit afraid to cut the cable, but guess practice will help 😊
4:3?
Yeah I was wondering that myself. I thought maybe he recorded it in SD but the video was uploaded in 1080 and the resolution is there. Maybe he's hiding a future project in the bared out area is my only guess.
Just helps us to focus ...
John's just nostalgic for video of the past...
Oh... that was close. It's hard to type a reasonable comment when I am boiling with rage but, only that you showed that cutting, I would have had to... do something.
thank you sir
My Porter Cable plane had one of those flap things. The most annoying thing ever when you're trying to plane until I removed it.
My favorite videos are where John says "that's it for this video" and there's still 50% left in the video haha
I still have two of those planers with cutter guards they’re ok ish, you really need two hands to ready the guard( like some circ saws) they’ve had about twenty years light use and still do what they are for. Mine were made by AEG and seem robust enough. Like a lot of people I started with the marvellous ELU but couldn’t put up with those heavy resharpenable single end blades (no diamond plates then!)
I have the same planer...just without the bondo Lol. It is definitely a handy lil unit.
I have the same planer and had to replace the whole blades after it was borrowed and the lad tried planing with the knife keepers after hitting a row of nails and busting the knives.
Can you do anything with the spent carbide blades as a project?
They are a bit too small for much of anything
Woah that dust was almost as much as what was in that computer case!
They sell a $19 alignment gauge block for the N1900B to set the adjustment screws on the blade holders. I don't have one so I used a caliper to set the blade holders to 32.5mm and that seems to be okay. I would be curious to know what that measurement is after using the $19 gauge block.
that poor Jointer project in the background.... COVERED in stuff. John, you really need to start that shop expansion project someday soon!!! :-)
Be back at it soon.
I love you: Point
If your car is bouncing to the left, you should take it to a professional and let him take a look at it. :-)
Not if you don't have the money to pay for it.
Nice old school touch with the 4:3, or did you want to contain the mess :)
You don't have your camera battery charger in the shop?
I don't have a plug in charger for my cameras, they charge with them in the camera over usb. I leave the camera and Atomos in the shop, and bring in the camera battery, the battery for the Atomos and the hard drive and charge the camera battery in another camera.
How did John find his electric planer? He digged in the dust....
11:53 Oh no, you're pulling on the cord! Blasphemy! ;-)
Thanks for the video....oh and one more thing, nah, just kidding. See ya.
This would be a useful vid if I could actually see what you’re talking about, what with you waving it about and standing so far from the camera I learned very little unfortunately. I’m in need of help with setting up my Elu plane as each blade is at a different height and I’m finding it hard to get it set up correctly.
How do I know you're not going to come back with more, I'm going to sit here and wait until you turn the camera back on again. I don't trust you, you'll try and sneak content past me.
But why 4:3
I don't see what is you doing...
Probably this is the most unuseful tool one could ever use , nevertheless one should have it .
Oh, there are plenty of less useful tools than this. Pocket hole jig / machine, for example.
+I Build It Scrap Bin ha ha ha , now you're talking like Matthias Wandel :-)
flatten a rough slab or table top, plane the edge of a door or table, taper a leg, chamfer an edge quickly, flush a wall, shave the edge of plywood to make it fit. Once you know how to use this tool, there are so many uses that you cant do with any other tool.
JimmY thats why i said one should have 😉
