Double-sided planers, used and new
Double-sided wood planer similarly to a thicknesser, it will plan a layer of material to give it the appropriate thickness. Unlike a single-sided thicknesser, a double-sided machine processes an element from two sides at the same time. As a result, we save work time and consequently can produce a larger number of elements.

We focus on proven brands and manufacturers who have enjoyed recognition in the wood industry for years. We provide full technical support and expert advice.
How does a double-sided thicknesser work?
A double-sided planer will plan a layer of material until it is the right thickness. A double-sided thicknesser primarily processes soft and hard wood. Unlike a single-sided planer, a double-sided machine processes an element from both sides at the same time.
Construction of a double-sided planer
The machine is made of a cast iron or metal body. Inside it is a planing shaft and a feed drive. The second planing shaft and the pulling or sliding rollers are built into the machine table. The planing knives are mounted in the shaft. The number of blades may vary. The feed has several assigned speeds or one smooth one.
Widths and heights depend on the given machine model. Planers with pulling shafts in the table are typically designed for wet wood. The planer shafts are switched on separately, so there is the possibility of double-sided or single-sided processing.
Basic equipment for double-sided planer from above:
- Pawls – prevent material from rolling back.
- Input shaft – located in front of the planing shaft. Electrically powered. Its task is to transport the board to the planing tool. Some models, similarly to thicknessers, have a split shaft, also known as sequential shaft. This means that several elements can be planed simultaneously, independently of each other.
- Output shaft – is placed behind the planing shaft. Electrically driven. Its task is to output the element from the machine.
- Clamps – located before and after the planing shaft. Their task is to press the workpiece.
- Upper planing shaft – its task is to process the material from above.
Elements appearing from the bottom of a double-sided planer:
- Preliminary table top – this is where we place the material. This table is adjustable.
- Sliding or pulling roller – there are usually several of them. Their height is adjustable.
- Planing shaft – its task is to process the material from below.
The great advantage of a double-sided machine is its high efficiency. Double-sided planers are perfect for any carpentry, furniture, craft, repair and other woodworking industries.
A double-sided thicknesser is an advanced device that allows for simultaneous planing of material on two sides. Unlike traditional single-sided planers, double-sided thicknessers provide twice as fast processing. During one pass of the material through the machine, the upper and lower surfaces are precisely planed. Thanks to the system of double planing shafts, the machine guarantees perfectly parallel surfaces. This translates into significant time savings and greater productivity of the carpentry workshop. Innovative control systems allow for precise setting of processing parameters, such as planing thickness or material feed speed. The advanced design of the knife shafts ensures high quality surface finish, eliminating the need for additional processing.
Which double-sided planer should I choose for my carpentry workshop?
When choosing double-sided planers for your facility, pay attention to several key parameters. The most important of them are:
- engine power,
- number of knives in the shaft,
- wood processing parameters (maximum width and height),
- the material from which the machine is made, etc.,
- dimensions of the machine.
Double-sided wood planers differ in engine power, working width and maximum thickness of the processed material. A good double-sided planer should have a solid construction and a reliable feed system. When choosing a double-sided planer, you should take into account the type of material being processed and the planned production capacity. Pay attention to: the power of the drive motors, the number of knives in the planing shafts, maximum processing parameters, the quality of the body and the availability of spare parts. The machine control system is also an important aspect - the more advanced it is, the greater the possibilities of automation and precise adjustment of processing parameters. It is worth paying attention to additional equipment, such as digital displays or a quick knife change system. The ergonomics of operation and the level of noise generated are also important. Before buying, it is worth checking the opinions of other users and the service history of a given model.
