2. Planer (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planer_(metalworking)

   Planer (metalworking) A typical planer. A planer is a type of metalworking machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to cut the work piece. [1] A planer is similar to a shaper, but larger, and with workpiece moving, whereas in a shaper the cutting tool moves.

3. Thickness planer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickness_planer

   Function. A thickness planer is a woodworking machine to trim boards to a consistent thickness throughout their length and flat on both surfaces. It is different from a surface planer, or jointer, where the cutter head is set into the bed surface. A surface planer has slight advantages for producing the first flat surface and may be able to do ...

4. Jointer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jointer

   A jointer or in some configurations, a jointer-planer (also known in the UK and Australia as a planer or surface planer, and sometimes also as a buzzer or flat top) is a woodworking machine used to produce a flat surface along a board's length. As a jointer, the machine operates on the narrow edge of boards, preparing them for use as butt joint ...

5. Plane (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(tool)

   Plane (tool) A hand plane is a tool for shaping wood using muscle power to force the cutting blade over the wood surface. Some rotary power planers are motorized power tools used for the same types of larger tasks, but are unsuitable for fine-scale planing, where a miniature hand plane is used. Generally, all planes are used to flatten, reduce ...

6. Planing (shaping) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planing_(shaping)

   Planing (shaping) Planing is a manufacturing process of material removal in which the workpiece reciprocates against a stationary cutting tool producing a plane or sculpted surface. Planing is analogous to shaping. The main difference between these two processes is that in shaping the tool reciprocates across the stationary workpiece.

7. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

   Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [1] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [2] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [3] Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy ...
