Which of the following statements is FALSE about planers?

Explanation:

Shaping and planning can be defined as the process of removing metal from a surface in horizontal, vertical and inclined position to produce a flat or plane surface, slot and grooves by means of relative reciprocating motion between the tool and workpiece.

Planer:

• Like a shaper, a planer is used primarily to produce horizontal, vertical or inclined flat surfaces by a single point cutting tool.
• But it is used for machining large and heavy work-pieces that cannot be accommodated on the table of a shaper.
• In a planer, the tool is stationary and the work-piece on the table travels back and forth under the tool.
   

Shaper:

• Shaper is a reciprocating type of machine tool in which the ram moves the cutting tool backwards and forwards in a straight line
• The work-piece is rigidly held in a vice or clamped directly on the table; It is intended primarily to produce flat surfaces
