Jointer

The planer is used for dressing wood.

It consists of a mount at the center of Abrichttisches planer, in which two or more planer blades are used. The jointer is divided into two parts in the so-called on - and -off table. The area of ​​the decreasing height of the table is on knife-edge flight circle. Because of the costs associated with the so-called "cut and feed per tooth " " knife blows " the outfeed table is set slightly below the cutting circle. Can be adjusted during the receiving table by means of an adjustment under the height of the knife cutting circle. The height difference between on - and decreasing table determines the depth of cut on the workpiece. The surface fence serves as a stop to bring the surfaces of the workpiece in a defined angle can (usually adjustable from 90 ° to 45 °). As a safety device is a planer protection, ie an adjustable cover the planing shaft to protect against the accidental contact of the user with the rotating cutterhead.

There are three common devices (equipment greatly depending on the age of the machine! )

Sometimes Jointers can be extended to a horizontal or mortising. To do this, on the accessible end of the planer and a drill chuck mounted an adjustable workpiece support before the machine.

Common are also called planer and thicknessing machines, that is, combined machines, which can be converted by the folding up the planer in a thickness planer.

Train

For dressing tailored to a sliding table saw wood is mostly smooth planed sides of two adjacent ( trained ) and at a right angle ( 90 °).

The following steps are necessary:

The result is a two-sided planed timber with clean mutually perpendicular surfaces. Further processing is done on the planer.

Strictly speaking, the dressing with the planer planing but not a finish milling because the tool is not straight forward ( such as in a hand plane ) but is rotating out against the workpiece.
