Planers

Woodworking hand planes first discovered in archaeological digs at the lost Roman city of Pompeii. That early cutting technology had gone largely unchanged all these years later. A planer is a tool used for shaping wood, whether it is to flatten, reduce thickness or smooth out. When the tool is moved over a wood surface, a metal cutting edge shaves the wood to the desired thickness. Today, planers come as power tools, which make the job faster and easier than the early hand powered models. Tools Plus has a variety of brand name planers, handheld and portable, as well as planer blades and accessories.
