10 HP Planers FAQs

: The best size for a wood planer depends on your specific woodworking needs and the size of the material you typically work with. For most hobbyists and small-scale woodworkers, a planer with a 12 to 13-inch width capacity is sufficient, handling a wide range of projects. For professionals or those working with larger, wider boards, a planer with a 15 to 20-inch capacity is more suitable, providing greater versatility for larger-scale projects and commercial use.
: The depth a planer can cut in a single pass varies between models, but typically, most planers can remove between 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch of material per pass. Some heavy-duty models might be capable of deeper cuts. However, for the best results and to prolong the life of the planer, shallower cuts are recommended, especially for hardwoods. Deeper cuts can be achieved by making multiple passes, ensuring a smoother finish and reducing strain on the planer.
: Running plywood through a thickness planer is technically possible, but it's not generally recommended. The main issue is that the glue holding the plywood's layers together can quickly dull the planer's knives. Additionally, the planer can cause the thin veneer layers on the plywood surface to chip or tear, compromising the plywood's smooth finish. It's more efficient and less damaging to the equipment to use other methods for sizing or smoothing plywood.
