Few of the urban residents can boast even simple skills in a turning or carpense craft. Therefore, the need to cut a bit or firing, let's say, the sex board will put in a dead end of many dachensons. However, modern electrical plans will help to cope with difficulties.

1, 2. When choosing a ruble, pay attention to the convenience of its design. Handles (front and rear) should be grapted so that the hands are not tired. Soft plastic damping overlays are also desirable.

5. When running the tool is kept by two hands, tightly pressing it to the treated surface. Details should be enshrined in such a way that when working them did not get involved in rotating knives.
6. Before the start of repair of used parts, be sure to make sure that there are no nails, screws and the like elements in the wood. If you get into the nail blade, the plane will almost certainly be spoiled.
The operating mechanism at the Electrolabank is a rotating cylindrical drum on which the cutting blades are fixed (two, less than one or three). The electric motor rotates the drum using the belt transmission. Rotation frequency and cheap, and dear models are not regulated, it is usually 10-20 thousand rpm. This frequency provides optimally high performance when processing wood without the risk of "pouring" it.
Owners of electrical rules know that in one pass this tool, you can without any problems with a chips with a thickness of 2-3 mm
The type of cutting blade is chosen depending on the type of work. There are blades for conventional and glued wood, chipboard and plastics. The latter can be processed with some reservations: let's say, Bosch recommends limiting the width of the material of the strip in 20-50mm.
Front and rear from the drum with blades there is a metal sole of the plane. Its rear part is fixed, and the front is capable of moving in height relative to the rear with a rotary regulator (usually its functions performs the front handle of the plane), allowing you to accurately adjust the cutting thickness.
Electrrowanks differ, first of all, by the width of the treated surface equal to the width of the blades of knives, as well as at the maximum thickness of the slice in one pass. These parameters determine the performance of the tool. Increased processing width, as a rule, is 82 mm. It is often common to household plans with a larger cut width, for example, 110mm, and here are compact and narrow models with a slice of 60mm, such as P 160 (Sparky) or 1550 AA (SKIL), rare. The maximum thickness of the cut is on average is 2-3mm.
Useful functions
Smooth start. The control electronics allows you to avoid a sharp jerk tool when turning on, which increases its safety. There are far from all professional models; In domestic, for example, in the R-102, R-110 plants (both - "Interskol"), SR-1300-110, SR-1100-110 (both - "bison") are presented.
Electronic speed maintenance system. Provides uniformity and smoothness of the railway, regardless of the load. The option is characteristic mainly for professional equipment.
ZRI in cable
The specifics of working with the electrolabank usually implies continuous and intensive use of the tool for a long time. Valid dreams, let's say, from the screwdriver, the continuous time of which is measured by seconds, the planer can not function dozens of minutes. Hence higher design requirements. Forward queue - to a metal sole. It should be not only smooth and smooth, but also wear-resistant, able to withstand blows, random contact with bitch and nails and the like trouble. Today, the cast sole of the aluminum alloy is widespread (it is equipped with no expensive models, but also products from the average price category), which has sufficient strength and at the same time not very hard. Although the large mass for the plane is not as critical, such as, for example, for the same screwdriver (when working, the first usually does not hold on weight), use a light tool is still more convenient.
The plane should be equipped with non-slip ergonomic handles, preferably with convenient access to the control buttons so that even the owner can turn on and disable the "without looking" tool.

7, 8. Electrical plans CMI 750 and 710W, 16 thousand rpm, 2mm planing depth, 82mm planing width.
9. When working, the electrical ruble produces a huge amount of dust and chips, so it is desirable to attach a vacuum cleaner to it to effectively collect the garbage.

10. Rate the quality of the guides of the stops. Metal parts must be manufactured (as in this case) from a thick sheet to not bend even with a significant load.
11, 12. The planer EHL 65 EQ (Festool) with a spiral knife and a cantilever mount of the drum, which allows you to make a deep sample of a quarter.
The cable is one of the most frequently breaking parts of the electrolaw. From monotonous movements back-forward can occur the breakfast (usually at the entrance to the tool housing). For preventing breakdowns, special cable entries are used with protection against inflection. Thick plastic braid also to some extent prevents the inflection lived. See what cables are equipped with professional models of electrolylands, and look for household tools with cables similar thickness. As for the length, the professional technique provides a cable with a length of 8-10 m, a four-five-meter cable can be considered in household long - it will not fade your movements. But with a two-meter "cord", it will be problematic, the extension will be necessary.

13-15. Bosch Rubankov Models: PHO 3100 (13), Power 750 W, Planing Depth 3.1mm, Planing Width 82mm, 16,500 rpm; PHO 20-82 (14), power 680W, 2 mm planing depth, planing width 82 mm, 19,500 rpm.
Often the cable is damaged when hitting a rotating knife. Nevertheless, until recently, the electrical rules remained purely "networks". Rechargeable models in nature did not exist, obviously, by virtue of the above-mentioned specifics of work. But in recent year-two, rechargeable plans appeared, such as BKP 140 Z and BKP 140 RFE (both - Makita) or GHO 18 V-Li Professional (Bosch). They are convenient to operate, but the price of them is so far enough - from 10-20 thousand rubles.
New technologies
Electrrowanks do not belong to the technique for which frequent structures are characterized, but nevertheless innovation appear from time to time. So, it is worth noting the option of the rapid shift knife with automatic adjustment. It has, for example, at Bosch (Woodrazor system). Thanks to a special groove, knives are rushing into the shaft groove strictly to a certain depth and they should not be aligned using clamping screws, as in the plans of other models. Another interesting development is a spiral knife used in the EHL 65 EQ tool (Festool). The knife, located on the screw line relative to the axis of rotation of the drum, provides smooth in the width of the processed part, which makes it easier to work and reduces the noise. But the main thing - with its help is the highest quality of planing, without traces of crushing of wood and without the need for conversion operations.Take care of the ears as a zenitsa
Like many tools for woodworking, electrical plans differ noise and during operation produce a large amount of chips, sawdust and shallow wood dust. That is why the work of these tools is considered "dirty" and potentially dangerous to health. So during planing it is recommended to wear safety glasses (mask) and headphones.
Before putting a rupture, wait until the rolling drum with knives is stopped.
For collecting dust and chips, dust collectors are used, which are included in the product package. Well, if the Platank has a switching of sawdust emission (left or right along the movement). This option allows you to easily post a dust collector so that it does not block the processed surface. In order of the models, instead of a dust collector, a vacuum cleaner can be connected to the plane. This design is several cumbersome, but the dust does not pollute the room.
