Planers

Woodworking planers have been the staple of stock dimensioning in every variation of the woodworking industry since the thickness planar was first invented in the 19th century. These machines launched the woodworking industry forward beyond anyone could have imagined at the time. What once took skilled craftsmen hours to accomplish, a mere apprentice could now match in minutes. Over the years, planers have evolved from the bulky cast iron frames of the industrial revolution, to the high tech automated machines that are here today. In the past few decades, home shops around the world have welcomed the arrival of the smaller, lighter, more portable bench top units. Today, the portable planers are dominant in shops and garages while stationary planers are still ideal for production shops.

Portable planers fill the gap between large floor machines and small, handheld planers. Hand planers tend to be inaccurate and inefficient, and stationary planers take up valuable floor space and lack portability. And unfortunately, saws and sanders just can't match the speed, consistency and accuracy that a planer can produce. Tools companies like DeWalt, Delta offer powerful, portable planers that can produce professional results without emptying your wallet or filling up your workshop.

Stationary planers are a big investment that can deliver big returns. They are designed to produce professional results in high capacity applications. These machines are great for cutting doors down to size, thinning plywood and removing uneven wood surfacing. If you need a planer you can rely on to complete almost any task, then Stationary planers are your best choice.
