Safe-T-Planer

Our Safe-T-Planer is the affordable way to add a planer to your shop. In your drill press, it planes wood to any thickness, leaving it smooth and ready for sanding.

Plane large or small pieces: the Safe-T-Planer cuts a path 2-3/4″ wide. Large surfaces are handled by making multiple passes.

Use the Safe-T-Planer for:
– Solid guitar bodies
– Necks and pegheads
– Peghead overlays
– Nut and saddle blanks
– Fingerboards
– Unjoined guitar tops and backs
– Unbent guitar sides
– High speed steel cutters

The Safe-T-Planer is machined from aluminum with a steel shank. Its three high-speed steel cutters are heat-treated for durability. Each cutter features a spare edge, to double the working life. Fits most standard 1/2″ drill press chucks. Comes with instructions, including how to make a simple plywood planing table for your drill press.
Replacement Cutters are sold in a set of 3 (art. nr. SM0486-C). These cutters fit the StewMac Safe-T-Planer, and are not compatible with other brands.
