Thickness planers are the most time saving piece of machinery in your workshop, but are capable of so much more than just bulk timber removal.

Calling on his many years of experience, Peter show you ways to reduce snipe, tear out and roller marks to produce clean accurate lumber every time.

Make the most of your planer, including flattening wide boards with this essential tour de force of planing.
