For many people the need for a planer comes along so infrequently that purchasing a big thickness planer just isn't something that needs to be in the cards. One way to get around this is by using a planing sled, or what some will also call a router planer.

There are two primary ways one can go about this. One, there are a lot of people who simply make their own. They form one either of their own creation, or find some plans and go from there.

The other way, is to simply buy one that is all ready to go right out of the box. Many that go this route wind up with a planer sled by Woodhaven. The one I'm going to take a look at today is the Woodhaven 3000 Planer Sled.

Ridgid makes a few different planers and we've already taken a look at one of their larger models: the Ridgid 4330 Planer, one of their larger planers.

Today I'm going to take a look at one of their smaller planers that they offer on the market. The Ridgid JP0610, which is one that is commonly found at the Home Depot. It's jointer planer combination tool and is rather popular because of it's price and the fact that it works quite well for what it's designed to do.

Many of you who land on this page probably are quite aware of exactly what a thicknesser planer is and really need no further information about what one can do for you and how one can help out in your workshop.

For those of you that are unsure of exactly what one is, in a nutshell, it's a machine that shaves off wood to change the thickness of that wood. That's it. Right, very basic.
