How wide a board can a planer take?
12 to 20 inches of cutting width across all 8 planers here, by each maker's published figure.
Each figure is the maker's own, cited on the planer's page. Makers measure some figures in different ways, so read the maker's wording as well as the number, and check the manual for what your shop needs.
Planers that come first on one figure
Each pick is the one of the 8 planers here that comes first on a single figure its maker publishes. None is a judgement of quality; we have not tested these tools. Whether we earn a commission on a tool never decides a pick.
