Franken-planer




the more i use this thing, the more i like it.....it's a hitachi p-20 stretched out enough to mimic the ergonomics of a skil 100, but light enough that i won't (hopefully) tear my rotator cuff off the bone again...i used the stock hitachi depth adjustment knob with a 3/16" allen wrench in conjunction with a clark modified front shoe...feels nice so far..

but the depth adjustment is way sloppier, but i'll take that over another major surgery...

haha!

anyone that uses a hitachi/clark mod planer has got to be going "huh?"...how did the handle get so far back?...a sunday afternoon in the workshop and a lot of filing and epoxy.........
