The grounding planer is a small wooden or metal block with a cutter, which is fixed with a screw or wedge. You can make this carpentry tool for your garage or home workshop with your own hands.
The main purpose of a grounding planer is to select trapezoidal grooves in wood blanks. If you often encounter various carpentry in the workshop, then such a tool may be useful to you.
First of all, from a piece of a plate with a thickness of 10-12 mm, it is necessary to cut out the foundation for the gutter. Then we give the workpiece the desired shape, make a square hole in the center, and then grind it using a grinder or grinder.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master cuts a small piece from a piece of metal, and welds it to the base perpendicularly. Then you need to drill holes.
After that, the master makes two small handles from a wooden log on a lathe. The metal part must be painted and the wooden parts coated with mineral oil or wax.
In the end, it remains only to install the handles and the cutter itself, which will make grooves in the workpieces. A homemade tool is ready, and you can try it in work.
