How to Plane Beams that are TOO BIG for my 20" Planer | Engels Coach Shop

A huge rough cut, chain sawn beam for a bench seat was brought in to be planed through my 20" planer, except it's TOO BIG! So now What? There is another method that involves a flat bit router and a floating router that will work perfect. This is how I accomplished this. Thanks for coming along.

If you're in the area, please feel free to stop by the shop and the museum as well. There are many home made from local artisans and Montana made gifts available. There is a Borax display commemorating the building of the Borax wagons in 2016 - 2019 and the Smith Manufacturing manure spreader that I rebuilt. It was from a local ranch just 5 miles from here brought out in the early 1910's. There are also many old tools related to the wheelwright trade and a display of lamps and tools from the Luminary Shoppe which operated here for over 40 years.

The shop is open Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I am seldom around on weekends.
