Vision of me shaping cutting tail lift into a hand shape using a Skil 100 Planer. Im starting the cut on full depth then blending it out by sliding the cutting depth lever. The power cord is wrapped over my wrist & arm to lessen the chance of running over…
Some vision of me shaping blending the top edge of the main rail band with a Skil 100 Planer. The cutting blade depth lever is on the front shoe of the planer & I’m adjusting the depth of cut by slightly moving my hand on it as I go around the rail. The…
Some vision of me shaping using a Skill 100 Planer. After cutting the Concave into the bottom I’m blending it out towards the rail in front third of the board. On a Skill 100 Planer the cutting blade depth lever is on the front shoe of the planer &…

Some vision of me working on a rail band with a Skil 100 Planer. It’s a KKL computer cut which comes with the rails already banded but I re – templated it taking about 1/2″ off the outline which squared the rail so it needed some planer work.…
This is one of my back up Skil 100 planer’s, it’s my second favourite & it has been seriously well cared for. They are highly prized as they are no longer available to buy new. Originally designed for builders & carpenters but discovered…
