Excerpt from Practical Planer Kinks: For Planer Hands To the reader of these pages I have apology to make, except as to the use of the proun I, which is a universal word with planer hands. I have axe to grind for anyone. These pages are t intended to advertise any one make of planer, however much I should wish to do so; but this is written for the planer hand by a planer hand. In has been hard to judge just what to say and what to omit in treating this subject, but I hope that both the apprentice and the journeyman may find something of practical value herein, and that the planer hand may be encouraged to better his condition. Most of the illustrations have appeared in the American Machinist, and are from competent workmen. I have added to these much that I have learned during seven years apprenticeship on a planer of the first class.
