About the thicknessing planer, I remember seeing illustrations of similar machine using a blade from a hand plane blade mounted in a stationary fixture. Half the width of the blade was ground back at a slight angle bit so that a thick piece could be inserted and drawn through to shave down progressively, and then passed through the other half to the final thickness.
Hi, I need help from the experts with making a bamboo planer. I've seen all the videos and will add these resources also:
The video and guide show what looks like a jointer blade mounted in a rig. It is suggested that the angle of the blade can be adjusted with a shim, so does the blade edge still need to be ground back to insert a thick wedge?
If I make a wooden rig, how do I clamp the blade into position? Is there a jointer with a hole in it to run a screw through as a clamp? I need to buy in Canada.
What can be used in place of the left and right handed Haba-Tori blades? E.g. are there any left and right handed planer blades?
PS. Sorry to revive an old thread- it's the most relevant!
