Shaper	Planer
The work is held stationary and the cutting tool on the ram is moved back and forth across the work.	In a planer, the tool is stationary and the workpiece travels back and forth under the tool.
It is used for shaping much smaller jobs.	A planer is meant for much larger jobs than can be undertaken on a shaper. Jobs as large as 6 metre wide and twice as long can be machined on a planer.
A shaper is a light machine.	It is a heavy duty machine.
Shaper can employ light cuts and finer feed.	Planer can employ heavier cuts and coarse feed.
A shaper uses one cutting tool at a time.	Several tools can cut simultaneously on a planar.
The shaper is driven using quick- return link mechanism.	The drive on the planer table is either by gears or by hydraulic means.
It is less rigid and less robust.	Because of better rigidity of planer, as compared to that of a shaper, planer can give more accuracy on machined surfaces.
