Planer

A rough is a machine tool of the trades of wood. It is used to machine a piece of wood, drawn up beforehand using a Dégauchisseuse, to bring it to thickness wished by successive removals of matter.

Composition

The planer is made up of:

the frame, most massive possible to damp out the vibrations generated by the high number of revolutions of the tools, 4000 with 8000tr/mn.
One or more axes of cut with generally each one provided with 2 or 4 knives. Certain industrial tools are provided to 12 knives, with an aim of improving the surface quality.
Of the pressers to the right of each tool for maintaining wood against the guides well. Their role is paramount to guarantee the dimension carried out and the absence of wave/vibrations on planed surface.
Of the rollers of drive which make circulate wood on the table, of 4 with 30m/mn according to the cases. Certain industrialists of furnishing/parquet floors/doors/windows… are well beyond that. Notched upstream cutting tools, these rollers are smooth downstream, so as not to mark the wood which has been just planed.
the table of drive, adjustable in height and fixed at the frame, provided with guides over all its length. It is the reference of the machine.
One distinguishes 3 great types of planers: small the " universelle" of the craftsman where flexibility and compactness (modest workshops of dimensions) are privileged, the industrial planer or is privileged the speed of drive of wood and thus production capacity, and finally the profiling machines moulurières provided to 8 tools or to carry out complex parts of profiles more.

Use

The Menuisier charges the part in the machine. The part is involved in a mechanical way between the table and the cutting tool.
