In a previous post (now closed) it was said: "Plane in from each end towards the middle. Planing along and off the end will splinter the end. Watch out for panel pins in the door - nicked the blade of my power plane doing that(!)."
Question is:How to avoid those panel pins!!!???? Help, blade now nicked due to this !!! TIA
Most power planers have reverseable blades if this does happen ie they're sharpened on both sides.
If you need new blades you'll aquire them from here.
Damn! forgot to say...
If you want to avoid nails whilst planing buy a cheap livewire/metal detector
Thanks for the reply....
However, the question is: What do I do about them!! I need to plane the door below them!!??? So how do I do this ??

When I went to buy some new blades for mine, I found I could get a complete new planer plus a spare set of blades for less than two sets of blades for mine. Why not buy a chuck-away planer every time you need new blades?

What! you can buy a planer for £4.50?
No, but when I was looking, the blades were over £10.

you use a pin punch and knock them in 3 or 4 mm now plane a few mm repeat as neccessary dont plane through the edging strip
