About Planers, Routers & Sanders

Planers, routers and sanders are precision tools used for shaping, smoothing and finishing wood and other materials. Planers create flat, even surfaces, while routers carve detailed edges and grooves, and sanders smooth surfaces for a refined finish. These tools are essential in woodworking, cabinetry and finishing work, providing accuracy and high-quality results.

Coates offers a variety of surface finishing options, including:

• Planer Hire: Whether handheld or benchtop-mounted, Coates’ planer hire enables precise removal of material from timber surfaces.
• Router Hire: Create defined, precisely shaped edges for joinery or decorative work with Coates’ fixed-base and plunge routers for hire
• Sander Hire: Hire a sander in belt, orbital or random orbital types. They can be used to flatten surfaces, preparing them for finishing or painting.

Whether you need to hire a planer, sander or router will depend on the material you are working with and the task you need to achieve. Depending on the equipment, you may need to hire additional accessories, such as blades for planers and sandpaper discs for sanders.
