At Toolden we stock a selection of some of the best planer thicknessers available on the market. Planer thicknessers are powerful woodworking machines that allow the user to trim boards accurately to a consistent thickness along the whole board length while providing a smooth, clean finish. We stock thicknessers from trusted brands like Zipper, Scheppach, SIP and more! Our range includes budget-friendly models for DIY users as well as high-end options suited for professional users.
When choosing a planer thicknesser, it’s important to consider the motor power and speed. The motor power will determine how efficiently the planer can handle tough and dense wood, while the speed will determine how quickly you can complete your projects. If you work primarily with softer woods such as pine, cedar, and fir, a model with a moderately powerful motor will do the job. However, if you frequently work with hardwoods such as oak, ash, cherry, or maple, you should consider a model with a more powerful motor- anything from 1600W upwards.
Max width capacity
When choosing a planer thicknesser, it’s important to consider the size and capacity of the machine. The size of the planer will determine the maximum width and thickness of the wood that can be processed. If you plan on working with larger pieces of wood, you’ll need a planer with a larger capacity. Make sure that your planer thicknesser can adequately accommodate your timbers’ width. We stock models with a variety of width capacities, up to 330mm.
Max thicknessing height
When choosing a planer thicknesser, it’s important to consider the maximum thicknessing height. The maximum thicknessing height will determine the maximum thickness of the wood that can be processed. Knowing the maximum thickness of material that you are likely to be working with is crucial so that a thicknesser capable of accepting wood of that size can be selected.
