Planer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term planer may refer to several types of carpentry tools, woodworking machines or metalworking machine tools.
- Hand plane: a hand tool used to produce flat surfaces by shaving the face of the wood.
- Jointer: a machine that produces flat surfaces and straight edges on boards (UK and Australia).
- Planer (metalworking): a type of metalworking machine tool
- Thickness planer (North America) or thicknesser (UK and Australia): a machine that creates boards of even thickness throughout their length. This is accomplished by means of a rotating cutter head which spins in place as the work-piece is propelled beneath it. Cutter heads may use one of several different methods, including straight blades, curved blades, or an array of staggered carbide cutter bits.
