Libang Planer

A Libang planer, also known as a hand planer, is a versatile woodworking tool used for shaping and smoothing wooden surfaces. It typically consists of a metal body with a sharp blade, or "iron," set at an adjustable angle. The tool features a front handle for guiding and a rear handle for applying pressure as it shaves away thin layers of wood. Jack planers are employed for various woodworking tasks, including flattening and leveling rough lumber, chamfering edges, and creating fine finishes. They are crucial for achieving precision and ensuring the surface is smooth and even, making them indispensable for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists in carpentry and woodworking projects.
