TOP of the best thicknessing machines

Planing is a key activity in woodworking. It gives the product a certain shape that meets the accepted standards. However, it is not always possible to complete this process manually. After all, if someone has to process an average batch of parts, it will take him a whole day, if not more. Therefore, a special machine was invented capable of performing this operation in a minimum of time.

Not only in large-scale production of furniture, but also in home workshops, machine tools are used. Because the machine simplifies the work and increases the amount of recyclable products.

Varieties

Hundreds of different models are sold in specialized stores, but they all differ not only in external parameters, but also technically:

  • Bilateral. In this case, a person can simultaneously plan two sides: the lower and the upper, which increases productivity by 2 times.
  • Single-sided planing machines. A distinctive feature of this device is the ability to plan only from the top side.
  • Special machines. In this segment, products are sold with 3-4 or more cutting parts. They are installed in large factories and are characterized by high processing speed and quality.

Single-sided planers are ideal for DIY workshops. This is because they have a simple design that makes them easy to use. In addition, these models are easier to maintain and repair. The size of the car is small, so it can be easily moved to the garage.
