The Power
Feed Hand Planer is a new innovation in planing heavy wood timbers
and planks. This planer moves itself smoothly down the rough sawn
wood and leaves a beautiful clean smooth surface behind itself.
The user needs only to guide it on one end of the timber or plank
and guide it off the other end. The tool is extremely practical
when used for planing wood beams that are to heavy or long to handle
easily while sending through a stationary planer.
Actually, it is a unique modification of the conventional 12 1/2"
portable hand planer. While the 12 1/2" power hand planers
are serving the timber shops well for certain jobs, they fall short
of higher volume production.
The larger
floor model planers are good for production, but they need large
work areas and back up equipment for moving the timbers through
the machine.
We have been using earlier versions of the power feed hand planer
since 1995 for our timber frames that we send all over the country,
and we average a savings of $1000 for each frame that we do so we
clearly see the financial savings of these easy to use planers.
Saw mills can add value
to their post and beam products by offering planed beams to their
customers, in fact other mills in our area hire us to plane their
timbers if the order is to small to truck to the planer mill.
The planer weighs a little over 50 lbs. and is powered by a 15 amp
120 volt a.c. motor and uses 2 quick change double edged planer blades
that can be flipped over when they get dull. Also The planer can plane
up to 12.5 inches wide and lengths as long as you can get.
