Planing Beams with Electric Hand Plane - How to Attach Planer Jig

With the hand planer jig, it is possible to flatten timber frame beams, or very wide boards. Lumber height can be adjusted precisely. This video builds on my first video, where I showed how to make a base frame with a sled. Here you can see how to attach the jig to an electric hand planer. The accuracy of your jig will depend on the rigidity of the frame. If you use an aluminum profiles, you can plane very, very wide boards. In my opinion, for “weekend woodworkers“, this jig is just perfect. It is cheap and precise. You do not have to buy machine planer. However, for professional use it is too slow.
