noun

Hobelmaschine

A large machine tool in which the workpiece is traversed linearly (by means of a reciprocating bed) beneath a single-point cutting tool. (Analogous to a shaper but larger and with the workpiece moving instead of the tool.) Planers can generate various shapes, but were most especially used to generate large, accurate flat surfaces. The planer is nowadays obsolescent, having been mostly superseded by large milling machines.

Examples :

"Before milling machines became common, a planer was used to create the perfectly flat surface on the large metal base of the printing press. "

Bevor Fräsmaschinen üblich wurden, wurde eine Hobelmaschine verwendet, um die perfekt ebene Oberfläche auf der großen Metallbasis der Druckmaschine zu erzeugen.
