  1. How to Use an Electric Planer on a Table top •  To make use of your electric planer on a table top, you must learn how to stand correctly. It is essential to have a stable stance while planning, as ungrounded hands will shake and potentially damage the electric planer and table top. Try to keep your feet slightly apart to create the proper stance. Standing in a proper posture will prevent muscle cramps and allow you to push the planer comfortably.

  2. Safer than a belt sander • The first thing you should do is determine the safety level of your sander. There are many ways to minimize the chance of injury. Make sure the sander you choose has a safety stop block. The stop prevents the work piece from being pulled too far back and also keeps small pieces from flying off the table top. You should also choose a tool that comes with a trigger lock, which helps keep the tool switched on while you're working.

  3. Better for restoring old wood • If you have a large tabletop, a handheld electric planer might work well for your project. However, if your tabletop is a little rough, you might want to try a belt sander. You can use a 100-grit belt to remove the film finish. Regardless of the type of planer, you'll need to surface the tabletop before refinishing it.

  4. Good for door edges • A power planer can easily chamfer door edges and cases, which may be a difficult job if you have thicker walls. It also helps you to level jambs and joists, and it has multiple chamfering notches, which guide you in milling the stock corners. If you're using a tabletop model, you should mark the chamfering notches before you start to use the planer.

  5. How to Use an Electric Planer on a Table top, such as the blades and stops. Once you've checked all of this, place the board on the platform, leaving enough space for the planer to roll back and forth without dipping. You may also want to use a straight edge to keep the board from dipping. To avoid damaging the tabletop, keep the tabletop clean to avoid causing damage to your electric planer.

  6. Safety precautions • When using an electric planer on a tabletop, the first thing to do is to wipe off the tabletop of any loose or excess debris. Be sure to check the tabletop for nails as well, as these can damage the blade. Make sure to remove any loose or excess glue, as this can cause the surface to become choppy. If you plan to use the tabletop to work on furniture, it's best to rest your non-dominant hand on the top.

  7. Next, check the cutterhead of the planer. The cutterhead should be flat and free from debris, sappy residue, and lubricants. Regular inspections can prevent these problems and make your planer last for many years. In addition, you should be aware of your posture when using a tabletop planer. To prevent injuries, you should avoid bending over or stooping down too low.
