Get More From Your Thickness Planer

A thickness planer is one of the most time-saving machines in the workshop, but it can do far more than simply reduce timber to a consistent thickness. With the right techniques and jigs, it can be used for a much wider range of accurate timber preparation tasks.

In this course, Peter Sefton demonstrates practical and safe techniques for getting more from your thickness planer, helping you prepare timber accurately while avoiding common problems such as snipe, tear-out and roller marks.

Practical Techniques for Accurate Timber Preparation

Peter explains the principles of thicknessing and how to work with the grain before demonstrating techniques for preparing timber accurately to both width and thickness.

You'll learn how to flatten wide boards, work with wide hardwood boards and use jigs to extend the capabilities of your thickness planer. Peter also demonstrates how to produce thin laminates and use the machine for more specialised operations including tapering timber in width and producing compound tapers and angles.

Throughout the course, Peter explains the techniques that help reduce snipe, tear-out and roller marks, giving you a better understanding of how to achieve clean, consistent results across a wide range of timber preparation tasks.
