Turn Your Hand Planer into a Jointer for Only $10

#jigs #woodworking #DIY
In this video, I make a simple jig that allows me to use my electric hand planer as a jointer. The parts for this jig cost less than ten dollars because most of it is made of scrap wood and metal from previous projects. If you don’t already have some angle iron or aluminum angle, you can usually buy some short ends for a two or three dollars from a metal supply shop. Sometimes you can get scrap angle iron for free from a fabrication shop. This jig should only cost less than $10, assuming you have enough scrap to make most of the parts.

The only thing I had to buy was a cheap power strip / bar for six dollars. The mounting bolts need to be the correct thread count to fit the holes for the guide rail mount. If you do not have screws already, you may have to spend a two or three dollars on metric bolts and a couple of plastic bushings. If you don’t have plastic bushings, you can easily make bushings out of 3/4” wooden dowel. The planer works amazingly well as an edge jointer. I went into building this with reserved expectations but really liked the results.
