A detailed buying guide: how to choose a thicknesser, jointer and wood lathe.
This section covers mains-powered woodworking machines for joinery and furniture workshops: thicknessers, jointers, combination planer-thicknessers and wood lathes. For an overview, read what electrical equipment is and how it is classified.
A thicknesser brings a board to an even thickness, a jointer flattens one face and edge, and a combination machine does both. Compare working width, maximum workpiece thickness and depth of cut per pass. On handheld electric planers: how to choose an electric planer.
The number of knives and the cutter head type (straight knives or helical head) affect surface finish and noise, while feed rate affects the pace of work. Check replacement knife compatibility: how to check tool accessory compatibility.
For a wood lathe, the distance between centres (workpiece length), centre height or swing and the speed range matter. On speed: what is rotational speed (RPM).
Household and semi-professional machines run on 220 V at roughly 1500–2000 W, while wide-capacity and production machines may require 380 V. See how to choose tool power (W) and volt (V).
Planers produce large volumes of chips, so a dust port and a powerful vacuum or chip extractor are needed: how to choose a construction vacuum cleaner. Wear a respirator too: how to choose a respirator.
Work only with guards fitted, feed short pieces with a push block, never wear gloves near rotating parts and wear hearing protection; the machine should have no-volt release. Read how to work safely with stationary machines, what is anti-restart and how to choose hearing protection.
At ToolsArmenia you can compare woodworking machines by type, working width and thickness, power and speed and choose the right model for your joinery workshop.
