What is the best planer thicknesser to buy?

Planer thicknessers are designed to trim boards to a consistent thickness throughout their length, smooth rough timber, and clean up sawn edges. Whilst they share the same purpose, the best unit for your workshop is dependent on numerous factors – most notably your needs and preferences. For example, you might be an avid DIYer looking for a small planer thicknesser that won’t break the bank. Or perhaps you’re a professional woodworker, with an abundance of space, willing to spend a little more on high-quality machinery. Luckily, here at Kendal Tools, we supply planner thicknessers from renowned manufacturing brands – such as Charnwood, Holzmann, Scheppach, Sedgwick, SIP and Zipper, to name just a few. These are available at various price points and include heavy-duty, portable, and bench-top models. For help choosing the right planer thicknesser for your space (and budget), get in touch with Kendal Tools by calling 01539 733 774.

Is a planer thicknesser worth it?

Though we might be slightly biased, here at Kendal Tools, we believe a planer thicknesser is worth every single penny – whether you’re a DIY woodworker or a professional. Planer thicknessers allow the planing and smoothing of large sections of wood to the exact size required. Without one of these machines, you won’t be able to trim boards down to the right thickness, meaning you’re likely to be limited on what projects you can take on. Once you invest in one for your workshop, it’s yours to use as and when you need it – no matter how big or small the task. Plus, even if space is at a premium in your workshop, there are plenty of portable units on the market – not to mention benchtop planer thicknessers – that can be positioned virtually anywhere. With prices starting from around £300.00 (including VAT), we’re confident that you’ll find woodworking machinery that suits your budget at Kendal Tools. We can even advise you on the most suitable planer thicknesser for your needs and offer a tailored quote.

When can I expect my planer thicknesser to be delivered?

Although we work hard to deliver woodworking machinery as quickly and efficiently as possible, the length of time it takes for your planer thicknesser to arrive at your door can vary depending on our availability and the time of your purchase. For example, if the product you’re looking for is currently out of stock, we will need to source the exact unit first. Fortunately, all of the machines and accessories we stock are sourced from UK-based brands. If you purchase a planer thicknesser late at night, our staff will only process your order the following day. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you always place your order in plenty of time.

What is a planer thicknesser used for?

A thickness planer is a woodworking machine used to trim and smooth large sections of timber to the required size. Although DIY and professional woodworkers can use planer thicknessers, like the ones above, for a variety of construction projects, they are typically relied on to ensure different lengths of wood are kept flat on both sides. To find out more about planer thicknessers and their uses, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at Kendal Tools. We are woodworking machinery specialists and will gladly share our expertise. Simply give us a call on 01539 733 774 or email info@kendaltools.co.uk, and we’ll get back to you.

Is a planer thicknesser easy to set up?

Yes, a planer thicknesser is relatively straightforward to set up once you know how. Before you plug the machine into the mains, you need to make sure that the fence is set to 90 degrees and parallel to the table. Using a precision square, check the distance between the fence on the infeed and outfeed table is equal. After that, it’s worth giving the tables and fence a quick wipe-down using a lint-free cloth and applying a specially formulated wax. This will help to prevent rust and allow the piece of wood to slide across the surface with ease. For further tips and advice on setting up and using a thickness planer, talk to the team at Kendal Tools. We’d be more than happy to share our knowledge and experience.
