DEWALT D26676 HAND PLANER- SMOKED!

_______________

I had a twenty plus year career as a trim carpenter / woodworker. I never bought a hand planer during that time. However, I bought one for the start of my shop project six months ago. It was a Dewalt Hand Planer Model C226676 and it has been very helpful with various framing “adjustments”. I was using it today on the squaring up of the barn door framing glue ups. I smoked it, it caught fire! The design did not allow the shavings to blow out of the tool efficiently. I didn’t even have the dust collection bag on. Well, the wood chips caught fire and it died in my yard after I sprayed it with the garden hose to put the fire out. Yes, I unplugged it first…

Back to no planer again…
