Wood planers are used to quickly and efficiently smooth rough lumber or mill stock to the exact thickness desired.  In most woodshops, a planer quickly becomes a necessity, as it greatly expands the woodworker’s versatility and allows for the use of rough-sawn lumber.

For a great finished product, exceptional dust containment, and a price that’s easy on the budget, consider DeWalt’s DW735 portable thickness planer, a real hit among Rockler customers. With a super strong ejection fan and a powerful 15 amp, 20,000 RPM motor, this little puppy handles even deep cuts in up to 13 inch wide materials with ease. 

If you need a planer for a production shop, or just want something with more power and capacity, we’ve got you covered. Jet, Delta and Powermatic all offer planers with up to 15 HP motors and 25 inches of horizontal capacity. For extra space and money savings, consider Jet Tools’  planer/jointer combo, a machine with plenty of power for most applications and a helical cutter head for a superior finish and a quieter cut.  

In addition to the type of planer you choose, we offer accessories to make your projects a success and your life a little easier.  Avoid the need for a tape measure or caliper, for example, with our electronic digital readout for portable planers.  Even the best planer blades wear out, and when they do, we also offer replacement planer blades for select models.
