Abstract
A portable hand-held planer in a housing containing a rotatable cylindrical cutting planing tool. The tool is rotatably driven by an electric motor. The planing tool has a plurality of elongated cutting blades positioned around the tool. A portion of the tool projects downwardly from the housing to enable the tool to make contact with a surface of a workpiece when the tool is operated. One side of the housing is provided with a combination guard and rabbeting depth gauge to prevent access to the underside of the planer proximate the planing tool while at the same time control the depth to which a rabbet cut is to be made in the workpiece. The opposite side of the planer has an adjustable fence assembly whereby the width of the rabbet cut may be controlled. The combination guard and rabbeting depth gauge includes a guard plate having a shoe for sliding contact on a workpiece which is spring loaded downwardly to contact the workpiece. There is a movable, clampable slide to control the depth of the rabbet cut by abutting against the shoe when the rabbet cut has been planed to the desired depth.
