Ensuring You Carry out Only the Highest Quality Work with Your Planer Blades

Proper maintenance – and an understanding of the tools you are using – are both essential things which help immensely when carrying out concise woodworking work withplaner blades. Woodworking planer blades are typically tough; and extremely durable. They will help you to carry out excellent work – as long as their upkeep is respected.

It is vital that you make sure to keep your tools – such as your 82mm planer blades – as sharp as possible. By doing so, you are putting yourself in the best possible position to carry out only the highest standard of work. By following the correct maintenance procedures – and understanding their importance – you are evidencing responsibility and knowledge with relation to quality control.

Maintaining Your Planer Blades Properly

When it comes to understanding whether your product needs to be maintained, it is helpful to do your research (we often provide advice through this blog). Perhaps the best way to test the sharpness of the blade is by tilting it up to the light. By observing how the light reflects off the bevel of the blade, you can gauge its condition. If the blade is sharp, then the bevel will appear flat.

If it requires maintenance, then you will need to follow a number of simple steps to do this successfully. There are a number of resources available to tell you how you can do it best; which include guidelines on using an oiled whetstone, the importance of removing chips on the blade and ensuring that the blade is worked with a pushing action and not a pulling action

Distribution and Balance

When actually implementing the use of planer blades proper balance is essential. Distribution of body weight – by keeping your feet apart in a comfortable position – enables you to maintain the closest control when using a wood planer. Naturally, the end product will emanate accuracy and quality as a result.

It is also useful to wait a few seconds when you start up your planer to carry out work. This enables the motor to reach full speed; and the blade can now be eased into contact with the material. From this point, you can push forward at a steady pace, ensuring that you continue to apply pressure on the front of the planer as it meets your piece of work.
