A thickness planter is a power plane with a flat table underneath it. You run boards through it multiple times, flipping them over each time and decreasing the space between blades and table a small amount each time. This is the planer I used on nearly all my woodworking projects. It’s a mid-range model made significantly more useful by a set of very expensive solid carbide planer knives.
