What to Look For
- Width. 3-1/4 inches is standard for doors and trim. Wider planers cover beams and timbers in fewer passes.
- AWS. AWS-capable models can start a compatible dust extractor wirelessly.
- Material. Concrete planers use diamond cup wheels and need dust extraction. They are not for wood.
