Our Services

Board Thickness Planing: Planing can ensure that your boards are uniform in thickness. This is essential for flooring, cabinetry, and tabletops.

Surface Smoothing: Planing removes imperfections like mill marks, warps, and rough spots. This is done to improve the look of the wood, and help prepare it for staining, painting, or veneering.

Custom Wood Planing: We can make the wood any thickness and width that you want. Custom plaining is usually used for specialty trim, furniture components, and architectural millwork.

Wood Refurbishment: We rescue old beams and boards by smoothing out damaged surfaces while preserving character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Wood Can a Planer Remove?

Most portable planers remove up to 1/8″ per pass, with multiple passes allowing deeper cuts. Our industrial mobile units can generally handle hundreds of board feet per hour.

What is the Difference Between Sanding and Planing Wood?

Planing shaves off uniform layers of wood to achieve precise thickness and flatness, while sanding uses abrasive materials to smooth the surface without significantly changing board dimensions.

Does Planing Wood Make it Flat?

Yes, planing wood makes it flat by evening out thickness variations and straightening warped boards.

How Much Does Wood Planing Cost?

We typically charge $100 per hour for wood planing, but that price can vary based mainly on the type of wood, your specifications, and how far we need to travel.
