Our Safe-T-Planer is the affordable way to add a planer to your shop. In your drill press, it planes wood to any thickness, leaving it smooth and ready for sanding.
Plane large or small pieces: the Safe-T-Planer cuts a path 2-3/4" wide. Large surfaces are handled by making multiple passes.
Use the Safe-T-Planer for:
- Solid guitar bodies
- Necks and pegheads
- Peghead overlays
- Nut and saddle blanks
- Fingerboards
- Unjoined guitar tops and backs
- Unbent guitar sides
- High speed steel cutters
The Safe-T-Planer is machined from aluminum with a steel shank. Its three high-speed steel cutters are heat-treated for durability. Each cutter features a spare edge, to double the working life. Fits most standard 1/2" drill press chucks. Comes with instructions, including how to make a simple plywood planing table for your drill press.
Replacement Cutters are sold in a set of 3 (art. nr. SM0486-C). These cutters fit the StewMac Safe-T-Planer, and are not compatible with other brands.
