Planer
A planer is a woodworking machine used to smooth and flatten wood surfaces. It cuts thin layers from the top of a piece of wood to achieve a uniform thickness and a smooth finish. Think of it like a giant, precise scraper that removes roughness and unevenness, making the wood easier to work with or ready for finishing. Planers come in different sizes, suitable for small crafts or large woodworking projects, helping create straight, flat, and even boards efficiently.
