Planers Leave a comment
A Quick Guide:
A planer is a tool that smooths or flattens wood surfaces by removing thin layers of material to create a smooth, even finish. Woodworkers and carpenters rely on planers for their essential role in the craft.
Planers come in two main types: manual and electric. Manual planers are hand tools that require physical effort, while electric planers use electricity to make the task faster and easier.
Electric planers often feature adjustable depths, allowing users to control the amount of material removed. These planers are commonly used to level rough wood or create straight edges. Thickness planers, a type of electric planer, reduce the thickness of wood to a specific measurement.
You can also use planers to shape wood or remove defects, such as knots or rough patches. For safety, always wear protective gear, including goggles and ear protection, when using a planer.
