Tool test: 13" planers

Article Abstract:

All the 13" benchtop planers can reduce a board from 6" to 1/8" in thickness, but the quality of the planer makes significant difference as the quality of the board, after planning, vary and some planers have snipes, while others produce boards with dimples or tearout. Some of the important factors for consideration for a precise planer are simplicity of the controls, dependability of the depth stops, ease of blade changing, and the quality of the scales.

The design and construction of a workbench work station that is suited for a benchtop saw is presented. After materials are selected the frame joinery should be cut. The dado blades on the saw are used to create notches in the rails. Once the parts are prepared the frame should be assembled and a platform for the saw should be constructed. The saw can be attached to the platform.
