Tool test: 13" planers
Article Abstract:
All the 13" benchtop planers can reduce a board from 6" to 1/8" in thickness, but the quality of the planer makes significant difference as the quality of the board, after planning, vary and some planers have snipes, while others produce boards with dimples or tearout. Some of the important factors for consideration for a precise planer are simplicity of the controls, dependability of the depth stops, ease of blade changing, and the quality of the scales.
