planers

Board thickness reducers

Planers are power tools or machines that shave wood to create a flat, even surface or reduce thickness.

A thickness planer runs boards through to achieve uniform dimensions; a hand planer smooths surfaces.

In metalworking, planers are large machines that cut flat surfaces on heavy workpieces.

The word also refers to people who plane wood.
