A jig for flattening with an electric hand planer. You can prepare both sides of the board to make it even in thickness without using a stationary jointer or planer. The jig has a very simple structure and uses an electric planer placed on a rail. A planer doesn't need to be modified. It's an easy-to-make and practical electric hand planer jig.

When making furniture, etc., it is common to use multiple boards of the same thickness. The boards are shaved little by little to make it even in thickness, but considering the work involved, I thought it would be better to move the board rather than adjusting the height of the planer. It has a similar structure to a stationary planer. The shaving can be adjusted from 0.3 mm to an appropriate amount by adjusting the height of the material. Finish cutting of 0.1 mm is also possible.

The size of the jig is matched to the material that is often used. Of course you can mill 1x material and 2x material. The jig can plane from 1/2" to 1-1/2" (12 to 40 mm) thick material, but in fact, it can handle any thickness. Although it requires some ingenuity, it can mill 4x4" (100mm thick square) timber. The length is also the same. The width is up to 250mm, but if necessary, it is possible by changing the material of the rail that the planer rides.

Until now, it was a very time-consuming task to plane out the surface and make the thickness uniform without using a stationary planer. But it's okay now. You can use this electric hand planer jig to mill common material you want to use for DIY.

Note: Added a free drawing for Bosch planers. This is a reference drawing of a holding parts for a model without front and rear overhangs. It is a rough idea as I have not actually tried it. I hope it will be of some help.

    Great job, the console is much easier to manufacture than others of this type for the plane. I especially liked the use of thin-walled aluminum corners.
  • @yodel21
    Just found your video and after seeing many others, have bought the plans from your store. Hope to be making this soon! 👍 Have subscribed to your channel also.
  • @supermodestmouse
    i really like this idea! I have been trying to figure out how to even out pallet boards without spending $400 on a thickness planer. i think this will do the trick!
  • @jp-xd2yc
    hello I find this planer template really great Thank you for sharing👍😉
  • @joejoey6828
    Liked this idea and was looking forward to building it. However, disappointed that the plans are not free even though your description would allude to this specific plans being free.
  • @JoeBonnerNYC
    I just discovered your channel, and I'm really enjoying your videos. Do you have a preference for flattening boards with this jig and a planer, or with the router jig you made?

    以前、電動カンナの治具があったらいいな〜とコメントしたものです。 これを待っていました！！ 細かい微調整などで作成するのが私の技量では少し難しいかもしれませんが必ず作ってみます！ いや〜この治具をしっかり完成させて材を削るのが楽しみです！ 質問なのですが削る材を材料固定ブロックに固定するときにネジを使用されていましたが、 材にネジ穴を開けたくない場合は、固定できれば両面テープなので固定してもいいのでしょうか？ ブログのほうも拝見いたしました。 カンナ本体に穴を開けない、大変な金属加工などを簡単にする、その他の所もなかなか大変だったとのことで、 この動画を見れてとても嬉しです。 制作用図面もダウンロードさせていただきました。 素敵な動画をありがとうございました。

    動画でお使いの電気カンナはマキタだとおもいますが型番を教えていただけますか？

    I have a question, in my planer, the bottom sole in the back and the front sole in the front end exactly where the plastic body ends. In your planer there is extra metal coming from the front and back. How do I adjust for my planer?
  • @jean-francoisgiraud7231
    how does the planed board not block on the aluminum rail placed at the back of the planer?
  • @JoseMartins-sk1qg
    Nice Job. May be with a couple of vertical slots on each planner support, the support could be adjusted vertically instead of adding spacers between cuts.
