What Are Woodworking Planes?

A woodworking machine that uses a rotary or fixed planer to process flat or formed surfaces of wood. According to different technological uses, woodworking planers can be divided into flat planers, planers (single-sided planers, double-sided planers), double-sided planers, three-sided planers, four-sided planers, and finishing planers.

A woodworking machine that uses a rotary or fixed planer to process flat or formed surfaces of wood. According to different technological uses, woodworking planers can be divided into flat planers, single-sided planers, double-sided planers, double-sided planers, three-sided planers, four-sided planers and finishing planers.
Woodworking planer (Figure 1) is used to plan a reference surface or two orthogonal planes of a workpiece. The electric motor drives the planer shaft to rotate at a high speed through the tape, and the workpiece is fed to the planer shaft along the guide plate against the front table by hand. The front workbench is lower than the rear workbench and its height is adjustable. The height difference is the thickness of the planing layer. Adjusting the guide plate can change the processing width and angle of the workpiece. The structure of the seam planer is similar to that of a flat planer, but the machining accuracy is high. The planer is mainly used for the processing of the split surface of the board.

Woodworking planers are used to plan boards and squares to obtain precise thickness. The planer shaft of a single-sided woodworking press planer performs a rotating cutting movement, and the four rollers located above and below the wood make the wood feed the movement and pass the knife shaft along the table. The double-sided woodworking planer is processed by two cutter shafts at the same time. According to the arrangement of the cutter shafts, the two opposite sides or adjacent sides of the workpiece can be planed. A three-sided woodworking planer uses three knife axes to plan three sides of a workpiece simultaneously. The four-sided woodworking planer uses 4 to 8 cutter shafts to plan the four sides of the workpiece at the same time, which has a high productivity and is suitable for mass production.
The fixed planer blade of the woodworking polishing planer (Figure 2) is installed in the middle of the workbench. The sheet is driven by the seam to pass through the cutter at high speed, and the wavy knife marks left by the previous process are scraped away to make it smooth and straight The planer is suitable for the final finishing of the wood plane.
