A planer is used to smooth
and level the flat surfaces
of a board to a consistent
thickness, while a jointer
is used to create a square
surface on the edge of a board.
Jointers are also used to
face joint one side which
allows the planer to create
parallel surfaces with
uniform thickness.
A handy tool for trimming
interior doors, panels and
skirting boards.
Hand planer for up
to 3 mm planing depth
and 82 mm planing width.
Depth adjustment is easy
with the thumbwheel.
Removable chute port on
left or right side.
Used in the initial preparation
of wood, producing flat faces
and square edges. Problems
can occur when fingers get
dragged between the fence
and guard and contact the
cutters. There are four cutters,
held in place horizontally with
eight allen screws. Cutter height
is adjusted with a gauge.
A planer is a woodworking
tool used to smooth and shape
wood surfaces and workpieces.
It consists of a cutting head
with multiple blades that
remove thin layers of wood
with each pass. Planers are
commonly used in woodworking
projects to create flat,
even surfaces on rough lumber.
The main benefit of electric
hand planers is efficiency.
Electric hand planers can
handle larger tasks due to their
powerful motors and ability to
move more quickly than traditional
hand planers. This efficiency means
you can get the job done faster wit
h less effort.
If the wood is too thick,
you can simply reduce the
material thickness with the
electric planer.
The planer is also
ideally suited for smoothing
rough wood surfaces. Likewise,
you can use skewed or poorly cut
wood for furniture construction by
planing it flat beforehand.
A planer thicknesser really
makes joinery easier and
releases you from the
frustration and expense
of relying on pre-prepared
timber, helping to reduce
cost and improve quality.

The minimum length is 12
inches and the minimum
thickness is¼ inch.
A board that is too
short can kickback towards you.

planer while it is running.
