Triton 750W Unlimited Rebate Planer 82mm TRPUL (837520)

Product Information

In use though we have to be careful not to think of it as a standard rebate / rabbet plane, or we’ll be going wrong before we’ve started. Another application used to be the cutting of rebates for the glass and putty in sash windows – the type that have one or two frames, or “sashes”, that can be slid up and down for opening.

Planing wood is the secret to tight-fitting joinery, glass-like wood surfaces and getting your doors to fit properly after having new carpets fitted. Let’s see how they can do what they do: Mains Operated and Battery Powered Planers

Triton TRPUL 750W 82mm Unlimited Rebate Planer 240v

Surprisingly, the adjustable front shoe comes complete with three different depth V-shaped chamfer grooves. You might think this feature only exists on the best electric planers, but here it is on a relatively inexpensive tool. And at just 2.4kg, it’s a lightweight power tool to use as well. There’s one thing you can count on in woodworking- if the tool is loud, spins fast and removes a lot of material, there’s going to be a lot of sawdust. It goes everywhere and gets into everything, so having an effective way to remove this stuff is vital. This is particularly valuable when working across the grain of the wood, when the action of the iron’s cutting edge alone might tear the wood as cutting starts. More and more power tools are becoming battery-powered. Thanks to powerful 18V battery systems, even hard-working tools such as planers can be used “off-grid”. Cutting annoying cords has set professional carpenters and savvy DIYers free to plane wherever they want. Cutting speeds are generally slower and they’re heavy when high Ah batteries are installed, however. Planing Depth Some rebate planes have skewed cutting edges on their irons, which can be a great help when cutting end grain.

Some rebate planes – known as “duplex” planes – have two positions for bedding the iron – one for normal use and another close to the toe, or front end, for planing to the end of a stopped rebate. Metal rebate planes commonly have a depth stop and a guide rail, or fence, which allow the depth and width of the rebate to be set very precisely. The rebate plane is one of a group of planes, including the shoulder plane, bullnose plane, and carriage makers plane, in which the blade protrudes by a very small amount—usually less than half a millimetre—from the sides of the plane body on both sides. It is a hand plane designed for cutting rebates/ rabbets in wood. The blade is slightly wider than the body of the plane. The reason for the slight protrusion of the blade is so that the plane body does not bind on the side of the cut, which would result in the side wall of the rabbet not being perpendicular to the bottom.Planing and rebate depths are features you should definitely factor in when choosing an electric planer. The best cordless and electric planers have a planning depth per pass of around 2-3mm and a maximum rebate depth of 9-12mm. One thing that distinguishes the rebate plane and its derivatives, such as shoulder and bullnose planes, is that the iron goes the full width of the sole to enable planing downwards, straight and quite deeply, into the wood without the sides of the plane preventing progress. A ny power planer should feel comfortable to hold and use. They typically weigh between 2.5 and 3kg. You can certainly go for a cordless electric planer too, although speed can be somewhat slower for these (10,000-15,000rpm).

The 550 Watt motor spins up the single cutting blade to an impressive 19,500 rpm and you can plane up to 1.5mm per pass. There’s a “parking rest” on the rear shoe to avoid damaging the workbench as well. Just like the “blue” professional Bosch planer, there’s just one Woodrazor cutting blade to worry about. Adjusting it with the included hex key is a simple operation. The depth stop prevents the plane cutting any deeper when the cutting edge of the iron reaches the desired depth of the rebate. These rebates are known as fillisters, which is why rebate planes based on the type used for this purpose are often referred to as fillister planes.The large 710 Watt motor spins up the single cutting blade to an impressive 18,000 rpm. You can adjust the planing depth down to 2.6mm. The spring-loaded “parking foot” keeps the fixed rear shoe up off the workpiece. This helps to avoid taking chunks out of your workbench when you put it down. The first thing to note about this planer is the handle. It’s comfortable and uses Ryobi’s signature rubberised GripZone found on most of their tools. It makes up for the fact that this is a heavier planer than some on my list at 3.1kg. It’s not too heavy, but you can feel the difference over longer sessions.

Removing a controllable amount of material is what the best planer does. They’re all controlled in a similar way- an adjustment knob on the front of the tool can be turned to move the spinning blade in relation to the front plate or “shoe” up or down in tiny increments- usually by 0.1 or 0.2 mm per turn. Planing Width The guide rail slides along the straight edge of the workpiece, keeping the plane on the correct path to cut the rebate to exactly the right width. Starting with the build quality. It’s a nicely put together bit of kit that’s heavy enough at 2.8 kg to feel solid in the hand. But it’s not so weighty that it’ll slow you down. The handle is at the best angle and rubberised for a positive, comfortable grip. The trigger and safety button work smoothly, and the depth adjuster is easy to read and turn.

The rebate plane is a simple tool used in many Western countries with hundreds of years of history. It was in use in England at least as early as the 11th century. [ citation needed] Use [ edit ] There are a few variations of this plane, including the duplex rebate plane, which has two locations for the blade: one in the middle of the body for normal cutting and one at the front to allow cutting into corners. In the latter mode, the duplex rebate plane is similar to a bullnose plane. Although they’re probably better known for their battery-operated power tools, Japan’s Ryobi make one of the best corded planers, the RPN780-S. It’s a powerful tool that can remove a serious amount of material when it needs to.
