noun

Raboteuse

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 The planer is nowadays obsolescent, having been mostly superseded by large milling machines.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 :

"In the old factory, several planers sat idle, relics of a time when milling machines weren't powerful enough to shape such large pieces of metal. "

Dans l'ancienne usine, plusieurs raboteuses étaient à l'arrêt, vestiges d'une époque où les fraiseuses n'étaient pas assez puissantes pour façonner de si grandes pièces de métal.
