Planer-thicknessers used and new
Wood planer-thicknesser is a combination of two functions – planer and thicknesser – in one machine. The machine evens out flat surfaces and also planes the wood layer on one side to obtain the appropriate, set thickness. The planer-thicknesser processes soft and hard wood, as well as wood-based materials.
A planer with a jointer is a great solution for both small workshops and larger carpentry, service, renovation, etc. The planer-thicknesser takes up relatively little space, so it will certainly find use in home workshops. The main advantage of planer-thicknessers is, above all, performing two tasks on one machine.

How does a thicknesser-planer work?
A modern planer-thicknesser is an advanced device that combines two key functions of woodworking, which revolutionizes work in every carpentry workshop. Wood thicknessers allow for precise determination of the material thickness, while the planer function provides a perfectly smooth surface, eliminating all irregularities and imperfections. Our planer-thicknessers are equipped with solid knife shafts with replaceable blades, ensuring even and accurate planing, as well as the possibility of quick knife replacement without the need for tedious adjustment. The material feed system guarantees stable operation and repeatable results, thanks to which each processed element maintains identical parameters. The planer-thicknesser usually has an adjustable work table, which increases the versatility of the device and allows for adaptation to different dimensions of the material, and the advanced system of guides and limiters allows for precise setting of processing parameters. Additionally, the machine is equipped with an effective dust extraction system, which takes care of the cleanliness of the workshop and the comfort of the operator.
Construction of a thickness planer and leveler
- The planer-thicknesser is built on a solid body, on which the tables with guides are mounted. The tables are adjustable up/down.
- As in the planers, the knife shaft assembly is mounted between the tables. The shaft has planing knives. Their amount depends primarily on the needs of the user.
- Under the wood planer tables, there is a thicknessing system. It consists of pawls, feed rollers and material clamps between the planing shaft.
- A table is mounted below the thicknessing system. The table height is adjusted by means of a knob. The table top is usually equipped with pulling or slipping rollers. The height of the rollers can be set higher or lower as needed.
- Inside there is a motor with a three-phase or single-phase drive. Depending on the model of the planer-thicknesser, the feed is on a separate or the same motor. Each planer-thicknesser usually has several feed speeds changed using a lever. The feed drive is switched on separately, similarly to the thicknessers themselves. This type of planer is equipped with an electric or mechanical brake.
- To use the thicknesser function, tilt the tops back.
- Multifunctional machines have all guards for safe and trouble-free operation.
How to choose a planer-thicknesser for a carpentry shop?
Choosing the right planer-thicknesser depends on several key factors that are worth analyzing carefully before making a purchase decision. Pay attention to the planing width - the larger it is, the greater the processing possibilities, especially when working with wide elements and boards. The planer-thicknesser should be adapted to the intensity of the planned work, taking into account the frequency of use and the type of material being processed. For a professional carpentry shop, we recommend models with more powerful engines and a larger working width, which will ensure stable operation even with intensive use. Used planer-thicknessers are a great alternative for a limited budget, especially when they come from reputable manufacturers. A wood planer must have precise adjustment of the planing thickness and a stable construction of the work table, which directly translates into the quality of processing. Also check the availability of spare parts, this is crucial for the long-term use of the machine. It is also worth paying attention to additional equipment, such as a quick knife change system or an advanced dust extraction system.
Planer and thicknesser – key parameters:
- maximum height and width of wood planing,
- engine power,
- number of knives in the shaft,
- number of feed speeds etc.

How much does a thickness planer cost?
The prices of planer-thicknessers vary depending on the technical parameters and manufacturer, but the investment in a high-quality machine always pays off through reliability and quality of work performed. Basic thicknessers start at a few thousand zlotys, offering solid possibilities for beginner workshops and hobbyists.
A professional planer-thicknesser costs around a dozen thousand złoty, but provides much greater processing capabilities and higher work efficiency. A planer-surfacer with advanced functions and automation can cost even tens of thousands of złoty, but offers the highest precision and processing capabilities for the most demanding projects.
It is worth considering buying a used planer-thicknesser from a proven seller, which allows you to significantly reduce costs while maintaining high quality of the device.
