can i do elliptical mouldings on this planer?

Guess it depends on how much moulding you want to make. It is a better planer than moulded and I would look at something else if it's main use was to make elliptical moulding.

Yes, you have 2 choices. 1) Buy the kit Jet sells. or 2) Make your own. I called Jet some yrs back to ask about kit and tech said to just make your own. It's way cheaper and can be modified to suit your purpose. Instructions are in the Jet manual. If you don't have the manual, download it from Jet. Hope this helps.

No. You would need a shaper for that. Because of the enclosure and blade design on the planer, it will only run straight mouldings.

Yes you can absolutely do that. The border comes off and attaches just like the rest of the pieces so you can make any shape you want too.

yes you can. it would help to get a shorter tool rest, but i have made numeras pens on this lathe.

I think you can. I built mine myself. Drew the measurement and took to homedepot, they made the cuts for me and all I did was screw it together. Was easy and inexpensive.

Well it can work, theoretically, but in reality no I wouldn't consider using a hand planer for this project. If you really want to try it and assuming you aren't well versed in the use of a hand planer, at least rent one first and practice on some cheap 2 x 4's, maybe you're a prodigy hand planer. More than likely though you'll see how difficult it would be to get a flat well planed surface regardless of whether you're planing each individual board then doing the glue up or trying to plane a 3 x 8 foot surface. You really need a full thickness planer which is going to cost a tad bit more than a hand planer Well it can work, theoretically, but in reality no I wouldn't consider using a hand planer for this project.

yes, but you have to get the right bit. i recomend to you to make the board with photofabrication or etching process and the drilling through circuit boards and protoboards with your cnc carving. for plastic parts no problem at all!.this milling equipment is with very good precision accuracy. it's great!

Yes it can if you are steady enough and hold the planer flat and on the leading (front) surface. Overlap your passes slightly and ease onto the BACK surface just before the front clears the other end. The back surface drops with the blade but don't wobble back and forth as it will ripple ever so slightly. They all do. This thing is a good, powerful planer with good blades right out of the box. Use thin cuts at first until you "get the hang of it". Then you'll wonder why you waited so long to get one!

I do not know why you mean by " be flat ".I had no trouble assembling and achieving level and square.If you do not need the vise, you could just omit ot

Yes you can , I would make sure the drilling is absolutely straight as possible. Clean and smooth all edges.

yes you can with a jig you make, go to this youtube video very informative www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht0Q5MmwWsM

The manual does describe adjustments you can make to set the jointer tables co-planer, but I have not tried it because the one I received was close enough for me. You can also adjust the planer table to be parallel to the cutter head. I believe you can download a PDF of the manual from the Jet web site, so you might want to look it over to see what is involved.

I haven.t used the planer function myself. If you mean small as in thin, I imagine it would be able to handle them fine. Just use plenty of supports and roller stands. The pieces need to be big enough in dimension to be stable for the rollers to pull the material through.

No. The blades are disposable & need a square back edge to set/align the blade properly. It's a good planer & I'm glad I bought it.

I only used it on a plastic model. I have extra I can try on some spare wood I have laying around.....

It would be possible, though you would need the right sander. If you sanded it flat it would look awkward - you need the tools to actually shape it.

Ok, I looked it up & here is your answer: http://gbcraft.com/shop/silicone-mold/praying-mold?mode=list so, YES, u can!
