Abstract
A planer attachment for use with a power tool. The planar attachment includes a main body that has a bore extending along a longitudinal axis and an opening in communication with the bore, a bit at least partially positioned within the bore and being rotatable relative to the main body, and a retaining member supported by the main body. An end of the bit extends from the main body, and a cutting edge of the bit extends through the opening such that the cutting edge of the bit is exposed for use on a surface of a workpiece. The retaining member inhibits axial movement of the bit relative to the bore.
Claims20
A planer attachment for use with a power tool, the planer attachment comprising:
- a main body having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis and an opening in communication with the bore;
- a bit at least partially positioned within the bore, the bit being rotatable relative to the main body, an end of the bit extending from the main body, and a cutting edge of the bit extending through the opening such that the cutting edge of the bit is exposed for use on a surface of a workpiece;
- and
- a retaining member supported by the main body, the retaining member inhibiting axial movement of the bit relative to the bore.
A planer attachment for use with a power tool, the planer attachment comprising:
- a main body having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis and an opening in communication with the bore, the main body defining a first wall that is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
- a bit at least partially positioned within the bore, the bit being rotatable relative to the main body, and the bit including a cutting edge extending through the opening and configured to engage a surface of a workpiece;
- and
- an adjustable member coupled to the main body and having a second wall that is spaced apart from and oriented parallel to the first wall, the adjustable member being movable relative to the main body to change a distance between the first wall and the second wall.
A planer attachment for use with a power tool, the planer attachment comprising:
- a main body having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis and an opening in communication with the bore;
- a bit assembly supported by the main body, the bit assembly including
- a bearing positioned within the bore,
- a bit at least partially positioned within the bore, the bit being rotatable relative to the main body, and the bit including a cutting edge extending through the opening and configured to engage a surface of a workpiece,
- a retaining member removably positioned within the bore, the retaining member positioned adjacent the bearing, the retaining member preventing axial movement of the bit within the bore;
- and
- an adjustable member coupled to the main body and having a wall, the adjustable member being movable relative to the main body to position the wall against a side of the workpiece.
