Will this planner level uneven board edges for joining or does it just follow the contour and remove the set depth of wood.

I've only used it once on a level, straight edge, but it looks to me like it will just follow the contour of the edge and remove the set depth of wood.

Hi Johnathan,I think the best way to do what you want to do is to use a flush cutting bit adjusted to be about the thickness of a sheet of paper away from the plywood for the final pass. Adding a larger base made from masonite or plexiglass could help prevent "dig in" of the bit as you approach the edge. After the last pass with the router, carefully sand the edging flush with the plywood.

Yes. You can set the depth of the cut but the groove would have to go all the way across the board unless you're ok with a groove that does not end cleanly.

There is a depth stop but have never used it. Seems to me though that you would have to put a spacer block between what you're grooving and the back fence to get a uniform depth all the way across the grooved board since the deepest part of the cut is at the centerline of the blade. Hope that helps, if I did it that way I'd use a small router plane (Stanley #71) to make it uniform.

Yes it will. Just tack the nails inside the crease and work it out with the slide hammer. I pulled out very large creases and dents. The only other way to fix a crease is with a hammer and dolly. Which is not possible sometimes due to metal bracing behind the area. This is a great tool. Very happy with mine.

It can be tricky, depending on the profile you're drilling into. I definitely recommend a depth stop collar to prevent you from going too deep (or all the way through). For alignment, consider clamping your drill down to something that will allow you to slide the wood into it, rather than pushing the drill into the wood. Even with a drill press it isn't foolproof without some sort of jig to hold the piece in the right orientation so that the press is aligned properly.

As long as you don't fill the pages with slide-in notes (ie page markers, postcards, stickee notes) it lays flat as a board on a flat surface; I have been getting this particular planner for over 6 years and it becomes my go to for tax information each year; health appointments, when bills are/were due; etc. are all in one place. Make sure you get the spiral covered item as the uncovered one might scratch wood. ENJOY!

I'd recomend the bisquit joiner to someone relatively new to woodworking, but it this person is interested in pursuing WW, the Domino is a fantastic tool. Lots more money, and a steeper learning curve, but it's become a staple in my shop. I'm a professional carpenter/contractor, and I own the smaller of the Dominos. I wish I had bought the larger one!

It has a very very slight, but necessary, curve. You can use it to push or scoop - or facing down to stir and push. I love this tool. Cleans well, doesn't scratch, super useful and a beautiful work of wood art. I highly recommend. If you want a photo of the "curve," post or send your email.

No. You would need a shaper for that. Because of the enclosure and blade design on the planer, it will only run straight mouldings.

Yes, the ends of the board are slightly tapered. The corners are basically squared off with slight rounding.

No, the floor does not have to be level according to the gift recipient. One simply zeros out the Wixey while on the table saw and subsequent measurements are relative to the plane of the table.

Set the jig for the actual wood dimension. If you set it for the stated depth, your pocket hole will be too deep and you will not get a secure joint.Hope this helps.

the planer does a great job on rough lumber. A jointer is designed to do the edge of the rough wood. I have a jointer that can cut upto a 6" wide board but not near as nice as the planer, my planer has a lot more rps than my jointer which makes a better finish.

This machine is for surface planing,(smoothing) the flat face of the timber. It won't eliminate any dimensional problems, such as twist,or bow. It is NOT designed to surface edges, foe that you will also need a jointer

Yes, it has a depth stop. But you will have to extend your piece away from the fence and make multiple passes. Tried the depth stop yesterday. It's a screw that has a metal plate. You pivot the plate to to engage the depth stop and screw down to the set depth. Really easy to get the exact depth you want. Not sure of the max width of wood it would take when extending from the fence. I guess you could always flip the wood around to get the other side.

I think it will work just fine, I haven't used the tool on diagonally laid boards but the way the tool is designed it should work just fine, I'm using this tool on a project right now and it's a real time saver, don't forget to buy the optional attachment for double joists if you have any on your project
