An 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 with various functions that can be seen in professional woodworking machines.
The main element that any electric planer has is a drum with knives that rotates at high speed. Since wood in its structure is heterogeneous, to obtain a perfectly smooth surface, the electric motor rotates 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 gear structure. As the belt wears down, it is necessary to change it, so it is located under the removable cover. The electric plane has another removable casing, which allows you to get to the electric brushes, which are also subject to replacement as they wear. Smooth increase and constant speed support does not allow the motor to experience overloads, which guarantees long-term service of the device.
The sole of the device is divided into two parts and is made of solid aluminum. One part of the element is located in front of the drum, and the other is located at the back. Using the height adjuster, you can set the required height for removing wood. To make an even cut, an electric planer must be moved along the workpiece at a constant constant speed.
Many devices have an open housing device, where the components of the device are visible. This simplifies the work, as you can observe the processing process. 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 include tungsten and carbide knives or hardened steel knives. For the emission of 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, many different models of devices from various manufacturers are produced, which vary in price and functionality. Especially popular on the market is the electric plane Interskol. Each carpenter knows the price of this tool.
The device combines lightness, speed and accuracy of work, allowing you to plan, trim and adjust the raw wooden workpiece. The main advantage of the planer, in addition to ergonomics and reliability, is a whole set of additional accessories that allow you to solve problems that are subject to woodworking machines.
Interskol knows how to chamfer, make a quarter choice, and process boards on a reinforced bed frame. In addition, equipment is supplied with the planer, which turns the device into a planer and an automatic jointer, which is very convenient.
