A<br />
planer is a must-have tool in a wellequipped<br />
shop. It perfbrms one basic<br />
L It rt, making a board thinner. This tiees<br />
you from the tyranny of using only dimensional lum-<br />
ber and saves you money. With a planer, you can turn<br />
3/{in. stock into l,/2-in. stock for a lighter, more<br />
refined looking drawer sides. Add ajointer to the equa-<br />
tion and you can square and surface less expensrve<br />
rough lumber.<br />

Bcnchtop planers have irnproved steadily over<br />
the years. Clone are tl're clays of'nasty snipe, aggra-<br />
vating blade chanses, hit-and-rniss settings and<br />
chips irll over the floor. Since our last benchtop plan-<br />
er test (<strong>AW</strong> #100, May 2003) most planers have fea-<br />
tures that clirectly addrcss these problems. The new<br />
breed is a far cry from tl-reir trotrbled first€eneration<br />
ancestors. If you'r-e in the rnat'ket for a benchtop planer,<br />
this may be the best time ever to bny ir new one.<br />
