What is a "planer"?
A planer is a power tool used to smooth and level wood surfaces by removing thin layers of material. It has a rotating blade or set of blades that shave off wood as it moves across the surface. Planers are commonly used in woodworking to flatten rough or uneven boards, create a uniform thickness, or smooth out imperfections. They come in various types, including handheld versions for smaller tasks and larger, stationary models for larger projects. Planers are essential tools for quickly and efficiently finishing wood surfaces in carpentry and furniture making.
