The thickness adjustment handle on my wood planer broke a few weeks ago and there are absolutely none available on the interweb.
I need to plane down some stock for the 'sticks' on the Ranger and I'd hate to use vice-grips to set the thickness on the planer (all the TV's we had growing up had vice-grips clamped to the tuner )
This was a quick, cheap, easy solution:
I probably should have printer it with thicker walls, especially around the roll pin holes, but for about 10 cents a copy I'm not too worried about printing a "version 2" if I have to.
Works like a charm, I'll see how long "version 1" last's.
I can't think of a single reason why the handle needs to be hinged like this. If I print another one I'll just make a regular 'ol handle.
P.S. it's yellow because that's what was loaded in the printer
