Hello,
I there such a device as an electric spokeshave?? or
(as someone suggested) a "Finger Planer".
I wish to remove wood in confined spaces.
There is no room to operate a manual spokeshave.
A sander is also too big.
I have visions of a device construced of a cutting rotor (as
in a conventional electric planer) inside a pipe which
has a slit on it to allow the blades to get at the wood.
I have tralled the internet to no avail.
Any suggestions.
TIA.
P.K.

likely what you want to do will be achieved easily with a rasp. if that
isn't electrical enough for you, or if there isn't room for the stroke,
you might be able to use a die grinder with a rotary file or a sanding
drum on it.
the tool you describe doesn't to my knowledge exist. you may have a
valuable idea on your hands.

There are finger planes and shaves built for carvers and Luthiers which even
have long handles. Perhaps what you're looking for would be served by a
scorp?
If you have a Dremel, have you looked at this?

Yes - very close too it..... It was compressed air driven, and It appears to
be a spoke shave like tool, but it has a cutting drum inside it, perhaps a
scrolling milling cutter, reprofiled.... Especially developed by Langley
Research for the purposes of shaving down wind tunnel fans...
You see them being used from at the 15 minute mark... onwards. BUT being a
special tool - OK I have never found one like it anywhere... . BUT something
similar could be made, some how, some way, with the right bits.....
I would like to get my hands on one myself......
