StewMac Safe-T-Planer

Our Safe-T-Planer is the affordable way to add a planer to your workshop. 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 2-3/4" wide path. Large areas are covered by making multiple passes.

Use the Safe-T-Planer for:
- Solid guitar bodies
- Necks and pegheads
- Peghead overlays
- Top and saddle combs
- Tests
- Unglued guitar tops and backs
- Unbent guitar sides


The Safe-T-Planer is milled from aluminum with a steel shank. The three high-speed steel cutters are heat treated for durability. Each cutter has a spare edge to double the life. Fits most standard 1/2" drill press jaws. Comes with instructions including how to make a simple plywood planer table for your drill press.
Replacement blades are sold in a set of 3 (item no. SM0486-C). These blades fit the StewMac Safe-T-Planer and are not compatible with other brands.
