Makita Precision Planer

[lgttb1]

it seems to be running very fast !

I keep thinking what if this thing hits a knot or a nail.

interesting... I was looking on ebay for a planer the other day and one of those machines came up. I studied the pictures close and concluded that it was not a surface planer or it must have been missing parts because I couldn't figure out where the planer head was. After seeing this video, I guess I was wrong. Interesting... thanks for posting.

I want one so bad!

I remember these machines from some 25 years ago.

They never really seemed to take off - what i was told was that the setup was extremly critical, and the blades had to be razor sharp, sharp would not do.

Im my workshop the planer blades have to do several hours before a change.

This was just a quick video to show some buddies I got the thing working, not a demonstration of a proper production set up. With the camera in one hand and feeding the board with the other, the machine is to fast to get to the other end and catch the board coming out.

[ploetzlich30]

the dropping confuses me!

did you fell asleep, or why didn´t you catch that board?

[giliam74]

wow, just drop is like that....very profi looking!

very nice machine, though. No dust!

[steevestuff]

Hi Ron -

I'm not sure of the number. I sold this machine recently but I met a guy out in east Texas who had one for sale. I can hook you up if you are interested.

[papagrumpy59]

I have a planer just like the one you listed but have been unable to get it to feed the wood through. do you have any advice on how to get the board to feed through? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Larry

[NHComputerGeek]

wow, thats so much better than the planer in my shop class at school, which makes more noise, is slower, and make a lot of dust! LOL

[morpheusduvall]

Amazing. How does it work with knots?

[pippaknuckle]

How well does it work if the surface is painted?

[snidelywhiplash]

That thing is a BEAST.  Nice.
