Planer recommendations

Steve on Apr 23, 2015Handhelds are nice for smaller pieces, making things even, or adjusting fits. I use my dewalt table planer for furniture construction and milling pieces of lumber. If your restorAtion works requires new pieces of wood like side panels or table tops, get a table top. If your restoration is fixing cracks and realigning joints - a handheld may be better.Helpful Reply
