planers
/ˈpleɪnərz/
noun

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 The planer is nowadays obsolescent, having been mostly superseded by large milling machines.
In der alten Fabrik standen mehrere Hobelmaschinen ungenutzt herum, Relikte einer Zeit, in der Fräsmaschinen nicht leistungsfähig genug waren, um so große Metallstücke zu formen.
