BEGINNERS Guide to Using an Electric Planer.
How to Use an Electric Planer. A Beginners Guide. The Electric Planer would have to be one of the handiest tools in the workshop. It’s basically a hand plane on steroids which makes them super fast and highly efficient!
Like all power tools, the electric planer can be a scary tool for the newly initiated. In this video, l hope to build up your confidence and take away the fear factor when using the planer.
The planers come in both corded and battery-powered models. I’m a bit old school and have a corded planer, that way l always have 100% power at all times.
The good thing about the corded model is that you can pick up a good one for a reasonably cheap price compared to the good quality battery-powered models.
I hope you find this video useful and continue to grow in confidence when it comes to using power tools of all types.
Cheers
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁🇦🇺

I'm a widow & just found my husbands planner. After blowing the sawdust out I read the manual. I allways used our Hand planners so I'm a little Nerve's using this. I watch many DIY videos being self dependent & love my work shop. Your Video is the BEST!!. Extremely" easy to understand & your very educational. Now I feel confident thank thank thank You😉
Fantastic Paula! Well done on dusting off the planer. Once you get the hang of it, it's a very handy little machine 👍😁🇦🇺
Can I use the tools of your husband thank you
Let's go, all us nerds. Forget fear, keep respect.
@@diyforknuckleheadsI knew you are a great teacher. Now I know you are very nice too.
@@josepalacid Cheers mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Love videos like these, I can tell my wife to watch it and she'll understand why I need a new tool.
Hahahahhahaha....Smart mate......very smart 👍👍
Mark, you are a god !!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hey amazing guy ...do you have any videos on how to correctly calibrate a mitre saw ?? I'm really convinced YOU would explain it better !!👍🏾
I’ve been watching wood working videos for years and this stuff is too notch. Especially the clamping advice. I’ve been struggling with my limited space, but those pipe clamp ideas are incredible
Cheers mate! Glad you liked the video and thanks for the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
The most straight-forward, simplest, and easy to follow ever! Thank you very much for the wonderful instructions.
You had me at "anatomy lesson" excellent, so glad I found your channel! New subscriber! VERY well done!
That part using the clamps to make a vise was pure genius. Haven't seen anyone else doing similar. 💯
Cheers Bernie! Glad you liked it mate and thanks for the feedback 👍👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads always found your contents very informative and practical. Thanks mate. Now let me have some of that tea. 😑
@@burningbernie Have a nice cuppa mate 👍👍😁
This guy is seriously amazing, why didn't i find him sooner, just like a father with good advice :)
Thanks Zack.....great to have you on board mate 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads thanks Dad!
@@thrills120 😂
Agreed I want to be adopted by this guy 😂
I came for the planer info...but the clamping options were gold. Subscribed for the Dad Jokes.
Of you have a wood tap you can use bolts and tap some handles to make your own vices. Only wood and not heavy metal but for a project and a useful cheap trick pretty cool.
the clamping options were good ad Vice (another dad joke)
I UNSUBSCRIBED because if the dad jokes...
Haha... yeah... exactly!!
The best, most comprehensive video I’ve ever seen on the use of a power tool. Great job!
Thank you for the comment Lee! Much appreciated mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Great Advice!!! Also the one for magnets to detect hidden nails in the wood... as simple as amazing!
No worries Alessandro! Glad you found the video useful mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
What a great idea for a quick makeshift leg vice - great tip knackers - or should it be quackers!! You bloody legend! Keep em coming mate
😂....thanks Matt! Gotta say the vice works really well mate...give it a go 👍 Have a great weekend 👍😁🇦🇺
Shane your videos make wood working and related tools use so much easier. Your presentation and explanations suit amateurs like my self to improve our skills without rushing or jumping in to quickly. Thank you and keep it up.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback Paul....it's much appreciated mate! Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads Further to this Shane I bought the IRWIN clamps via Amazon, got a couple of pieces of pipe and now have a couple of various sized vices for similar use to your video, excellent and again my thanks.
For a 2 year old video, and your still responding to comments, just goes to show how dedicated you are! I'm currently renovating our 5,000sq ft home. Doing everything DIY as much as possible. Your videos (and other creators) have gotten me through so many tight spots..thank you for what you do man! Keep up the great work! Cheers from Wisconsin USA! The cheese state 🧀🐄🧀🐄🧀🐄🧀
Cheers for that Richard! Appreciate the feedback mate. Yep still responding as you guys are the reason l keep going. It's a great way of building a positive community 👍👍 Good luck with the Reno's mate and thanks for taking the time to watch. 😁 Wisconsin sounds like my kind of State......gotta love a good cheese 👍😁🇦🇺
You didn't cover at all what the application of a planar is. Methods or uses and why.
@duke1281 You would feel right at home here - no shortage of cheese! 😊
This was definitely informative, I have a power planner but was not knowledgeable of it’s correct use. The tips regarding the blade flipping also was an eye opener! As far as the use of clamps, that is brilliant! Please record more tips like this. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful Les and thanks for watching mate....much appreciated 😁👍🇦🇺
Simple, precise, informative and NO NONSENSE. I love the vise clamp. Thanks for teaching low cost alternative.
No worries Shailesh! Glad you found the video useful mate 👍🇦🇺😁
You lost me at the duck joke!
just stumbled on your vid, Great ,love your approach Ive been working wood for 40years and found this refreshing thanks from the UK
Thanks Paul 👍 Appreciate the comment mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Thank you for this video, specially for last part demonstrating how to use Pipe clamps.
No worries at all Arresha! Glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Great tip Knackers, I wish I'd seen this before I tried using one a few years ago, I gave up and went and bought a hand plane. Thankyou for sharing.
No worries Stuart! Glad to shed some light on the machine mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Just wanted to say how useful this video has been for me, I bought an electric planer about 10 years ago, to planer a single door, did that and it has sat in its case on the shelf since as I wasn't sure how to use if for much else - this video has really helped me understand what it does and how to use it well. I've got into some small wood working tasks during 'lock down' and watched so many youtube videos where they have these amazing workshops, your videos are great in that your setup is not dissimilar to my own - a work bench and some basic power tools - and I feel like I can do what you're showing. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the feedback Peter. I keep my shop fairly simple as that is the audience that l'm looking for....nothing to fancy here mate 😂 Have a good one mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Perfect timing on this video. I recently bought my first electric hand planer and then this video popped up.
Google is listening Chris 😂😂 Good luck with the planer mate....it's a great little tool 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
First video of your I've watched, well done sir. I'm still new to wood working and understand the need for straight pieces. I've been using a router table I built but a hand planner looks like it can be quicker set up. Like anything I just need to practice with it. The section on using pipe clamps was huge, justified getting them ...
G'day Steven....glad you found the video useful mate 👍 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺🎄
Best damn accent in whole Australia ❤️ Can't get enough of it :) The tricks with the pipe clamp are nice too!
👍...Cheers Nick 👍😁🇦🇺
Re the accent...he gives the lovely Rita Panahi a run for her money.
I love your way of presentations. Thanks for sharing all of these tips.
Thanks mate....glad you like the vids....l appreciate the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
I use pipe clamps in a lot of creative ways and I have to say, you got me with these tips! Can’t wait to see more videos from you!
Cheers Kent! Yeah the clamp vices work really well 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
hi, you might want to mention that you are left handed.
"And the award for the guy who you would most like to be your neighbor/buddy goes to Uncle Knackers!" I watch a lot of woodworking videos and always watch your videos. the videos are awesome, the info is killer and the explanations easy to understand but your personality makes it fun too. thank you !
Cheers mate! Glad you like the vids and thanks for taking the time to watch. 👍😁🇦🇺
Hello my friend. These are really good tips. I learned about Makita planer blade replacement. Thank you for sharing. Big greetings. Yours truly.
No worries at all.....glad you found the video useful and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads You're welcome. See you. I wish you a good day.
Such a nice guy you seem to be! Great tips and great personality. Thank you!
I am about to plan a couple of doors tomorrow and it’s one job I suck at. This video couldn’t have come at a better time 👍
Good stuff Joel! All the best with the doors mate 👍 Let me know how you go 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads hi buddy, what's the brand of blue pipe clamp that you use in this video? The link is for a different clamp that looks not as good for what I need. Thanks for sharing!
@@silversurfer233 They look like Irwin pipe clamps
@@silversurfer233 Mate, mine are Irwin Clamps suitable a 3/4" Pipe. They, unlike a lot of other pipe clamps don't require a threaded end on the pipe which was really appealing to me. I did a search on Amazon, found the same type but it was for a half inch pipe which to be fair is probably OK. The ones l linked to are a very popular model and will do the job for you perfectly. Thet just need a threaded pipe. Hope that makes sense 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads thanks for the reply, I will get a set of each as they will be "good to go! "
you're a great teacher, thanks for the tutorial, grateful Pom
Cheers Ray 👍.....Glad to help mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Great vid. You have solved a problem I had with the cutting at the end of a piece. Cheers, Carl
Thanks Carl...glad to help mate 👍🇦🇺😁
Brilliant mate thank you! I honestly really appreciate the bonus on pipe clamps, never came across those and thanks to you they look amazing! 👌
G'day Elliott.....glad you liked the video mate and l appreciate you taking the time to watch...Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
LOVE your jokes !! As a old guy doing woodworking for 50 years, I find your videos very informative. I'm just not that great at teaching people . Going to show some young DIY's neighbors your channel, you will teach them such great knowledge and terrific tips. Thank you so much !!!!!!
No worries Rod! 👍 Thanks for sharing the vids mate....really appreciate it 👍😁🇦🇺
I'm not a beginner, but it's always a good thing to see how/what a other person is doing or think about it. It's never too late to learn something.
👍...Very true Peet.....thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
I love your attitude, too many people in our trade think they are too good or too experienced to learn something new.
First time I see a pipe clamp! Thanks for the good tips! Henry
No worries VTD! Glad you found something useful in the video 👍😁🇦🇺
Came to learn about a planer...but those tips about using pipe clamps as a holdfast or leg clamp were pure gold. Thank you, sir!
My pleasure mate! Glad you liked them and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Great video!! I've been doing woodworking, both professional and DIY, for 50 years. I've never ever seen the tricks with the pipe clamps through the table top or the legs. It just goes to show you can still learn stuff every day. Thanks for the great video. BTW... don't quit your day job just yet. You'll starve to death if you rely on those jokes to put food on the table.
Hahahahha...WHAT......that was one of my best jokes Steve!! Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
This is EXCELLENT! I'm comfortable with most power tools, but these planers have always scared the hell out of me. Now I need to use one for scarfing plywood, and I feel a lot better about it thanks to your clear, sensible presentation. Thank you!
You're very welcome Chris! Glad you found the video useful mate and all the best with the planer 👍😁🇦🇺
planer is whole lot safer then circular saw,table saw ,angle grinder reciprocal saw
Thank you very much your tutorial. It was easy to follow and fun to listen to. I have been staring at my dad's planer for over a decade, afraid to use it. Today you gave the confidence, and courage to use it and it's awesome. I used it on a very old 2 by 4 so it's actually 2 by 4" not like today's and the wood grain is gorgeous. 😃
Awesome! I'm glad you found a few pointers in the video Matthew 👍 Have fun with it. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
Love the video! I'll be shaving some doors down soon and I'm so glad I found this since I've never used a planer.
Awesome! Glad to help Shirley and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Have you had a budget increase Unkle K? Two pencils? One looked brand new!!!!!! As always informative and entertaining in equal measures. Keep up the great work.
Hahahahahhahaha.....pencils are a premium in my place mate...having two is unheard of😂😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks for the vid, and I appreciate the emphasis on safety! Nothing infuriates me quite as much as woodworking videos that demonstrate unsafe practices.
Cheers Patrick....appreciate the comment mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Yeah, whenever there is a video teaching anything at all, I cringe when they do not show/explain safety practices. It should be a part of every tool or woodworking lesson for newer folks that could be watching.
Just came across your channel whilst researching electric planes, instantly subscribed. Thank you for the great information.
Awesome! Thanks Chris 👍 Hope you can stick around for many more vids to come mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Excellent video! Very educational! I will probably never use a planer but if I needed to, I'd feel a bit more comfortable after watching this! Keep up the great work! 🤘
Thanks Andy! Really appreciate the comment mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I bought an electric planer after I watched how you planed that cool big dining table you made, but yeah I was a little afraid to use it at first.. Always love your videos and learn alot from them--thanks for taking the time to put them together for us. And I love that jig--I'll have to make one of those this weekend!
Awesome! Thanks Lisa......Glad you found the video useful 👍😁🇦🇺
Hi Lisa,can you give a link to the dining table or a header please
Pipe clamp vise was the coolest thing I learned in this one!
Cheers mate....glad you liked it 👍😁🇦🇺
I’ve seen “sash cramps” which cost £Mega for what they are. But pipe clamps are reasonable. Thanks for the heads-up. 👍
Thanks for posting. Just purchased a Makita planer and appreciate your helpful rundown of the basics and the demos. Well done mate!
Glad it was helpful John! Good luck with the planer mate 👍👍
Pipe clamp vice !!!! Brilliant . Great tool the planner , thanks for tips on eliminating snipe😄

Omg!! This was so super helpful!! I am a brand new trying to learn woodworking… you have solved so many problems I have because I’m limited in money… Not only did I learn about planers-why I clicked on your video-but, the vice clamp and table clamps ideas… brilliant!

Hi Jose. Welcome aboard mate....great to have you here and l hope you can stick around for many more to come 👍😁🇦🇺
You missed a bit of self deprecating humor there "the knob on the top of the planer is the person using it, this one is for changing the depth" hehe, great vids :)

Glad it was helpful Andrea 👍😁 Good luck with yours....it works really well 👍😁🇦🇺
When I use most of power tool, I place the cable on top of my arm rather than drag it behind the tool. My tip 😜
Over the shoulder works for me.
Great idea. My angle grinder lead is about 6 inches (old speak) long now. I’ve cut it so many times. It’s a wonder I’m still upright. Thanks for the tip.
Good plan thanks
All of the above, plus sometimes tuck a bight under my belt, with just enough slack to feed my reach.

😂....That would do it Travis 👍😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH for those pipe clamp tips! I was trying to work it out in my head for too long!
Happy to help Dean! Thanks for watching mate 👍
I really liked the way of making a vice from pipe clamp. I have a very small vice (for metal/soldering), but it's no good for thicker wood, so this idea was great!
@@AlexLittle Thanks Alex 👍
I know nothing before this video about electric planners... learned a lot... also great advice on pipe clamps and homemade vise's... excellent ideas!!!
Thanks for that Robert 👍 Glad you found the video useful mate 😁🇦🇺👍
Clamp things every time. EVERY!! Being clever, I was trying to run a wedge across the cutters with left hand, and holding the plane right hand. Piece shot away and my finger ends went into the cutter. Could see the boney ends etc. Sounds obvious, but working with it every day hanging doors, familiarity breeds contempt. It took nearly 2 years to grow sufficient skin etc to 'look normal' and about another 6 years for feeling to return. I did know better. :0/ These things are NOT forgiving.
WOW! Very nasty indeed Dave.....l agree that familiarity can be a dangerous thing leading to complacently. Take care people 👍

If you're going to work with reclaimed wood, invest in an actual metal detector. Aluminum nails will laugh at your magnet and puch your planer in the teeth.
Better a carbide blade and can cut any nail or almost any screws too.
Most steel blades will cut aluminum no problem. If it's carbide, even better. It's steel nails and screws that will kill a blade fast.
@@cchavezjr7, right on. The reason one of my preferred push sticks on the table saw is aluminium with a bird’s mouth. Nothing drastic happens if the blade is grazed, just cuts through it.
Great vid as always, I see the channel is going from strength to strength! well done sir, well deserved!
Thanks Spanky! Appreciate the feedback mate.....yeah the Channel's kicking off thanks to guys like you 🇦🇺 👍😁
