Thread: 9-10mm trim

Wait a few years and it’ll be down that thin used to be 1/2” was the thinnest, then 12mm now some is 11 with primer! What trim is it? You could ask the local joinery to run it off for you if you don’t have a thicknesser. Or you could plane it yourself with an electric planer.

thanks mic-d. me with an electric planer is a recipe for disaster. I am so lame and hopeless with the thing. It sits there, gleefully watching me when i go into my shed. Taunting me from the tool cupboard. I can hear it now ..." c'mon, just a little trim... you can do it this time....forget about the past...that index finger on your left hand was useless anyway...."

But get back on the horse. The best tip I can give is keep your fingers away and definitely do not test the proudness of the blade with fingers as you would a hand plane (I’ve seen a video)
