The electric planer is an indispensable tool that processes wood. Modern technologies make it possible to produce devices that are not only ergonomic and reliable, but also have various functions that can be seen in professional woodworking machines.
The main element that any electric planer has is a drum with knives, rotating at high speed. Since wood is heterogeneous in its structure, to obtain a perfectly smooth surface, the electric motor turns the drum device at a speed of more than a thousand revolutions per minute.
Rotation from the motor is transmitted through a drive belt, which has a toothed structure. As the belt wears, it must be changed, so it is located under a removable casing. The electric planer has another removable casing that allows you to getto electric brushes, which are also subject to replacement as they wear out. Smooth increase and constant support of speed does not allow the motor to experience overload, which guarantees a long service life of the device.
The sole of the device is divided into two parts and is made from solid aluminum. One part of the element is located in front of the drum, and the other is located behind. Using the height regulator, you can set the desired height of wood removal. To make an even cut, the electric planer must be moved over the workpiece at a constant, uniform speed.
Many devices have an open housing structure, where the components of the device are visible. This simplifies the work because the processing can be observed. The better the surface of the planer, the better the finish of the workpiece. When buying a tool, you should choose models with two handles that allow you to direct the device and push it in the selected direction.
Modern devices come with tungsten and carbide or hardened steel blades. To eject the chips, many manufacturers provide a special device that allows you to send waste directly to the vacuum cleaner, which cannot be said about mercury lamps, the disposal of which requires special measures.
Today, there are many different models of devices from different manufacturers, which differ in price and functionality. Electric planer is especially popular in the market. Interskol. Every carpenter knows the value of this tool.
The device combines ease, speed and accuracy of work, allowing you to plan, trim and adjust the raw wood blank. The main advantage of the planer, in addition to ergonomics and reliability, is a whole range of additional accessories that allow you to solve tasks that are subject to woodworking machines.
Interskol can chamfer, select a quarter, process on a reinforced frame of the board. In addition, equipment is supplied with the planer that turns the device into a planer and an automatic jointer at the same time, which is very convenient.
