Not all wood is created equal. It can have swells and depressions in a seemingly smooth surface which, if you plan to make near-perfect joints and seams, a wood working planer will be a necessity in your shop.

Once a board is cut from a log and dried, this is when cracking and splitting happens. Rarely will wood be flat and smooth when you first buy it from the lumber yard and it will have to be prepared to make a finished project, such as furniture. While many wood workers will use nothing but hand tools, there are power tools that make the job quicker and easier and one of these is the wood working planer.
