An 82 mm planer is a standard handheld power tool used by woodworkers and carpenters to shave down wood surfaces, straighten edges, and create smooth finishes. The “82 mm” refers to the width of the cutting blades, which is the most common size for portable electric planers.
Core Components and Features
-
Cutting Width: The fixed blade width is 82 mm (approx. 3.25 inches), allowing you to plane standard timber widths in a single pass.
-
Adjustable Depth: Most models feature a front handle that doubles as a depth adjustment knob. This typically allows for a cutting depth range of 0 mm to 3 mm per pass.
-
The Sole Plate: Usually made of precision-machined aluminum. The “V-groove” in the front shoe is a common feature used for easy chamfering (bevelling) of edges.
-
Blade System: Most modern 82 mm planers use replaceable, double-edged tungsten carbide mini-blades, which are extremely sharp and durable.
