A hand held, electrically powered, wood planer is able to shave small amounts of wood stock from a work piece, and has a housing in which is located an electric motor and a cylindrical planing tool rotatably mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis. The planing tool is supplied with power from the motor to cause its rotation, and has a minor portion which projects from an opening of the housing. In use, the minor portion of the planing tool impinges on a work piece located in a confined space and, with numerous passes against the work piece, shaves a required thickness of the wood stock. The planer also has a height adjustable base which, when operated, will adjust the distance to which the minor portion of the planing tool projects from the opening for varying the required thickness of shaved wood stock. |
