From Rough Lumber to Flawless Finish: What a Planer Does
So, what can you do with a planer? Its main purpose is to make rough, uneven, or warped boards perfectly flat and of a consistent thickness. It's an essential tool for any woodworking project that requires uniform, smooth lumber. Think of it as the first step to turning rough lumber into a finished product. It's the perfect door trimming tool for a sticking door, the fastest way of flattening wood for a tabletop, and the key to smoothing rough lumber for cabinetry.
Unlike a sander, which is purely a finishing tool, a planer is a stock removal powerhouse. With a powerful 650W motor and a high-speed 17,500 RPM cutterhead, the ID EPU82X2 can remove up to 2mm of wood in a single pass. This allows you to tackle projects like planing reclaimed wood or dimensioning a 2x4 with incredible speed and precision.

Your Electric Planer Questions, Answered
Buying Guide & Comparisons
What is the best electric hand planer?
The best electric hand planer is one that balances power, precision, and user comfort. A model like the ID EPU82X2, with its powerful 650W motor, fine-tune 11-position depth control, and ergonomic grip, is a top choice for both professionals and serious DIYers who demand reliable, high-quality results.
Are cheap planers worth it?
While tempting, cheap planers often have imprecise controls and weak motors, leading to uneven results. Investing in a heavy-duty planer with a quality motor and a solid base, like the ID EPU82X2, is a much better long-term value for consistent, professional results.
Which is better, a jointer or a planer?
They work as a team. A jointer creates one perfectly flat face on a warped board. A planer then makes the opposite face perfectly parallel to the first one. A handheld electric planer can perform both functions with the right technique.
Usage & Techniques
What does a planer do for beginners?
For beginners, an electric planer is a game-changing tool. It allows you to buy cheaper, rough-sawn lumber and quickly turn it into smooth, usable boards. It also makes difficult tasks like flattening a tabletop or trimming a door fast, easy, and precise.
How deep can an electric planer cut?
The ID EPU82X2 has a maximum cutting depth of 2mm per pass. For flattening a very rough board, you would typically start with a deeper cut and then reduce the depth for subsequent passes to achieve a perfectly smooth finish.
What kind of wood should not be planed?
You should avoid planing wood with any metal (nails, screws, staples), as this will instantly destroy the blades. It is also not recommended to plane MDF, particleboard, or pressure-treated wood with excessive chemicals, as these materials can quickly dull the blades.
Can you plane end grain?
It is generally not recommended to plane end grain with a handheld electric planer. Doing so can cause significant tear-out and chipping of the wood fibers. A block plane or a sander is a much safer and more effective tool for smoothing end grain.
Safety & Maintenance
Are electric planers safe?
When used correctly, yes. The ID EPU82X2 is designed with critical safety features, including a lock-off switch to prevent accidental start-ups. Always wear safety glasses and ensure your workpiece is securely clamped. For more information, please read our Power Tool Safety Checklist.
What are common problems with planers?
The most common problem is "snipe," which is when the planer cuts slightly deeper at the start or end of a board, usually caused by uneven pressure. Other issues can include a rough finish from dull blades or ridges from nicked blades.
How often should I replace the blades?
The life of your blades depends on the type of wood you plane. You'll know it's time when the planer leaves a rough finish or you have to push harder to move it through the wood. We stock high-quality replacement planer blades to keep your tool in perfect condition.
