Plane electric: device and application

The electric plow is an indispensable tool that processes wood. Modern technologies allow producing devices that differ not only in ergonomics and reliability, but also in various functions that can be seen in woodworking professional machines.

The main element that any electric plane has is a drum with knives rotating at high speed. Since the wood in its structure is not homogeneous, to obtain a perfectly smooth surface, the electric motor rotates the drum device at a speed of more than a thousand revolutions per minute.

The rotation from the motor is transmitted by means of a drive belt, which has a toothed structure. As the belt wears, the belt needs to be changed, so it is placed under the removable casing. The electric slide has another removable casing, which allows to reach the electric brushes, which are also to be replaced as they become worn. The smooth increase and constant speed support does not allow the motor to overload, which guarantees a long service life of the device.

The sole of the device is divided into two parts and is made of solid aluminum. One part of the element is in front of the drum, and the other is located at the rear. With the height adjuster, you can set the desired height of the removal of wood. To perform a smooth cut, the electric plane must be moved along the workpiece at a constant same speed.

Many devices have an open device body, which shows the components of the device. This simplifies the work because you can observe the processing process. The better the surface of the plane, the better the finishing of the workpiece. When buying a tool, you should choose models with two handles that allow you to direct the device and push it in the direction you want.

Modern devices have a set of knives made of tungsten and carbide or rolled steel. For the ejection of chips, many manufacturers provide a special device that allows you to send waste directly to the vacuum cleaner, which can not be said for mercury lamps, the recycling of which requires special measures.

Today, there are many different models of devices from different manufacturers, which differ in price and functionality. Especially popular in the market is the plane electric Interskol. Every carpenter knows the price of this instrument.

The device combines the ease, speed and precision of work, allowing you to plan, trim and customize the raw wood blank. The main advantage of the plane, except for ergonomics and reliability, is a whole set of additional accessories that allow you to solve tasks that are subject to woodworking machines.

Interskol is able to shoot a chamfer, to make a choice of a quarter, to process boards on a reinforced bed. In addition, together with the plane, equipment is supplied, which turns the device into a planer and an automatic jointer, which is very convenient.
