Abstract
An improved chip capturing device for a planer comprising a chip director hood attached to a wood planer housing and a tubular shaped chip transporter. A first aperture of generally oval shape is embodied within the chip transporter and positioned on a first end of the transporter while a second aperture of generally oval shape and of greater circumference than the first aperture is embodied and positioned on a second end of the transporter. A third aperture to facilitate the introduction of wood shavings and chips to the tubular shaped chip transporter is positioned generally between the first and second apertures, reflects a generally rectangular shape, and extends downwardly generally perpendicular to the chip capture hood.
