hand-wood-planer-harbor-freight-plates - : Electric Hand Planer

By grsjaxNovember 28, in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment. I bought a set of these planes because they were on sale really cheap and because they looked cool being made from rosewood and brass. Didn't expect much from them for the price but was pleasantly surprised. The blades seem to be a good grade of steel and after sharpening they were really dull right out of the package and figuring out the best setting for blade depth the thickness of a sheet of paper they performed very well on both basswood and cherry.

These are ok, and hand wood planer harbor freight plates for the price. Mine needed a touchup of the bodies as well. I suggest that your relieve the edges and corners so as to avoid creasing the wood. If you'd like to make your own, look up Stephen Boone, and also: tiny handplanes. I agree with Bob on the Lee Valley miniature planes.

I have the complete set and out-of-the-box they are sharp and ready to use. They work really well. I forgot to mention that a used hand wood planer harbor freight plates drill bit can be reworked into a blade for small planes. The potato will keep it cool, and you'll learn that if the potato cooks that the blade is getting too hot.

Note: I do ot recommend eating the potato afterwards. To the LeeValley miniature plane owners: have you found a small enough honing guide to sharpen that plane's blades? The Lee Valley planes are works of art. However for less than a third of the price of one plane I got three planes that are adequate for my needs. I would love to add the Lee Valley planes to my tool chest but can't justify the expense.

Would rather save the money for other tools, materials and plans. That Popular Science article is great. I may have to try my hand at making some thumb planes. Another source of steel for plane irons is old files. The steel in them is excellent and once shaped will take and hold a very keen edge.

Has anybody asked Lee Valley hand wood planer harbor freight plates sharpening hand wood planer harbor freight plates blades of their tiny tools? Really, I think you that should learn how to sharpen your tools of any size, so that you're not a prisoner to 'somebody else' who is far away in location or time. Great question that I'd like the answer to as well. Although I have to say that in spite of quite a bit of use, especially with the mini hand wood planer harbor freight plates, I haven't had a need to sharpen these things yet.

I do have a version of the planes shown in the OP. I have tried unsuccessfully to get these planes to work to my satisfaction, in spite of numerous attempts to sharpen and hone them. The blade is sharp enough to cut a sheet of paper with just the weight of the blade, but I can't get the planes to work. So I gave up and went with Lee Valley. Garret Wade sells a British-made honing guide which I have used to sharpen a number of chisels, blades, etc.

It will accept these small plane blades. It's listed in their catalog as 62J The problem is not the width, it is the length. That blades are too short for regular honing guides, making it impossible to fix the blade on the proper angle. Same with miniature chisels. Mike, this is the honing guide from Garrett Wade I'm using. I have not tried it with Lee Valley as the blades are still sharp.

Lee Valley has some nice tools. Bummer that there are no Cyber Monday sales. Just have to save up for 0ne of the planner. That Garret-Wade honing guide looks perfect for the small plane blades. It's rough being a toolholic. On the bright side, there's a good holiday coming up for making a gift to myself. Marc, I have that honing tool Christmas present to myself several years back Yes, toolholic is tough!

Re; Sharpening blades. My two mentors in my woodcarving club tell me that once a blade has been well sharpened on a stone it should not need resharpening on a stone unless you knick the blade. In the case of the wood planes, I'd say periodic is probably based on frequency and duration of use. But then I don't have a lot of woodworking experience so working with planes is somewhat new for me.

The blades are too small to fit normally, but the jig will hold them. I checked the sharpening angle by eye and took a black Sharpie to color the edge being sharpened.

It only took a minute of adjusting until I was able to hand wood planer harbor freight plates remove the Sharpie in a pass or two. I used Japanese water stones - and got an incredibly sharp edge. I also trued the sole, sides, and back of the hand wood planer harbor freight plates. PS I I just spent a few minutes looking through the link hand wood planer harbor freight plates to the Sept.

It's great. There are quite a few references to model ship building including adds for ships and fittings. There is also an add for a circa Dremel Moto-tool. An amazing era when people built a lot of what they wanted. I picked up on of those Rosewood planes at a show and made a fixture for hand wood planer harbor freight plates. With a little practice I was able to get an edge on it.

Toolaholic's confession: I bought a honing guide because I knew I needed it. But it didn't work out like I had hoped. Then I bought a better and, rather sophisticated, honing system. It worked great for plane irons and chisels that needed a lot of work. But using it was somewhat time consuming and I waited until my tools showed dulling before I took hand wood planer harbor freight plates to the "honing table".

Somewhere along the way, I learned it is better, and easier, to keep your tools well honed. All sharp tools dull with use. Take a few minutes to hone the edge before and after use. I rarely use guides anymore. Rob Cosman does a great job explaining the free hand sharpening process.

I don't use his angle tool. What I do is rock the primary bevel until it sits flush on the stone, then lift a bit for the secondary bevel. I just ordered some of the Hand wood planer harbor freight plates Freight planes to try out. For the price, I haven't really lost anything if they don't past muster.

I always use the Scary Sharp method for honing chisels using finer and finer grades of emery cloth. An hand wood planer harbor freight plates cheap method for honing that gets me a really sharp blade. This is a digression, but In the ss, model shipbuilding articles were a regular feature in Popular Science.

There are plans and descriptions of techniques. Sadly, the plans are no longer available from the publisher. If Woodturning Tools At Harbor Freight Zip you're interested, do a search for Captain E. Armitage McCann, who was a ship captain and a excellent modeler who wrote many articles for Popular Science until he passed away i in There is a two part eulogy on the modelshipbuilders.

McCann's articles. I use the Harbor Freight mini planes. Besides sharpening my complaint would be that they are rather unpleasant to use due to sharp corners. I rounded the corners off with the Dremel, now they are much nicer to use. Not to hurt feelings here, but Those of us "of a certain age" can remember the time when every boy's education in how to hone and dress a fine edge on a cutting tool began around age seven or eight when he was given his first pocket knife, an item of personal kit every male carried in his pocket for the rest of his life.

Sadly, with all the metal detectors around, few men carry pocket knives anymore and few mother's would tolerate their seven year old son having a pocket knife of his own.

I suppose they are strictly forbidden on the grounds of any grammar school these days. Parents today seem ignorant of the fact that what "can put your eye out!

Consequently, outfits like the good folks at Lee Valley have made quite a business of selling all sorts of slick gizmos that promise to ensure success in an endeavor which, up to maybe fifty years ago, most kids had mastered by age ten or twelve. Strange how one generation can master operating a personal computer without a second thought, but can't sharpen an edged hand wood planer harbor freight plates without all sorts of guides and machines and so on.

Honing guides are hand wood planer harbor freight plates Wood Planer Hand Tool 700 training wheels on a bicycle. They ensure greater success on a first effort by the inexperienced, but encourage dependence.

I'd encourage folks to take off the "training wheels" and learn to sharpen "freehand. There's lots of instructional videos on YouTube for those who don't have grandfathers to show them how to sharpen an edge and fettle and adjust a plane, spokeshave, or whatever.
