Used Thickness Planers Prices

This guide covers 12–13 inch benchtop thickness planers only — handheld power planers and 15 inch+ shop planers are priced separately. Benchtop thickness planer prices vary with width capacity, cutterhead type (straight knives vs. helical), and blade condition. A helical head adds real value; dull or nicked knives should lower the price.

How to tell if a used thickness planer is a good deal

  • Inspect the knives for nicks — they leave raised lines on every board.
  • Run a board through and check for snipe at the ends.
  • Make sure the depth adjustment cranks smoothly across the full range.
  • Check the feed rollers for glazing or cracks.
  • Ask whether spare knives or a dust hood are included.
