Planers

About Planers

A power planer shaves thin layers off wood to straighten, level and size doors, frames, beams and boards. Carpenters, furniture makers, interior contractors and joinery workshops use handheld planers on site, and bench thickness planers in the workshop to bring rough timber to an even thickness.

For handheld planers, check the planing width, commonly 82 mm and sometimes 110 mm or more, the maximum cutting depth per pass and the motor power. A rebating depth guide is useful for door and window work. Corded models suit regular workshop use, while cordless 12 V, 18 V and 40 V planers help on site and at height. Thickness planers and planer-thicknessers are bench machines rated by maximum board width and thickness. Concrete and wall planers are a different type and remove material from concrete or plaster. Keep the blades sharp and set evenly, take light passes on hard wood, connect dust extraction or a chip bag, and wait for the drum to stop before putting the tool down.
