Preamble : I don't want to write another list of what each woodworker should know in order to work safely. Everybody may find what matters using a search engine with key words "woodworking safety". Albeit all these articles talk to the others and I would have liked to find someone writing : "for my own safety I try to..." which means many more people convey a standard point of view about safety without wondering anything. I avoid these kind of topic that lead to nothing most of time. On the other hand I get involved in every exchange that tend to explain why something would be unsafe et try to find out a better way. It's all about mental attitude and the last one requires the point of view to be argued. Nothing good nothing bad but keeping open minded.WhyDi

The project aims to use a power planer as a stationary machine that could move. Obviously the mini planer thicknesser can't compete with a heavy duty machine. That last planes wider boards and adjustments are easier. The power tool sits on spacers and locks with four wing-nuts. The runner helps for then flattening of small or thin stocks and slides along grooved tracks stuck on the tool support. As the power tool could be used to other purposes, the mini planer thicknesser can be set and adjusted and removed without tool.

Among the purposes of that project, moving the tool was not the last issue. In some ways this concern led the dimensions of each attachments of the mini planer thicknesser.
