Hello All,

Could one of you tell me the height of the planer table from the floor when you are planing something about 1" thick? Curious to know how it compares with a stand alone planer. Obviously lower but I'd like to know how much.

Thanks,

Jim

Mine lives on a mobile stand.? The planer bed is 31" above the floor when set for planing 1" material.? I think it is comparable to the shop where I sometimes take lessons where there is both an A3 and a standalone powermatic.

For the planer (thicknesser) not the jointer table?

Great, thank you both!

I was thinking it might be a lot lower.

Yes, for the planer.? I measured.? With it set to plane to an inch. because that is what I was actually doing when I read your original post.? Since the planer table descends to accommodate thicker boards, it would be less than that planing very thick boards.? I have hardly ever had occasion to use anything larger than 8/4.? For a 1" thick piece of lumber, the table for the planer is at 31" from the floor.? Again, my A3 lives on a mobile base which adds less than an inch overall to the height.? Jeff

The same, I was near my planer when I saw the message.
