A wood planer has a base disposed at a bottom of the wood planer to be deployed on a ground, an elevating mount disposed above the base and can be driven to move up and down relative to the base, two drive sets, and two transfer devices respectively disposed at the base and the elevating mount. Each drive set has a motor and multiple redirection devices connected to the motor. Each transfer device includes multiple roller assemblies and multiple universal joints. Each roller assembly has at least one roller. Each universal joint has an output end and an input end opposite in position. The output end of each universal joint is connected to one of the rollers of a corresponding one of the roller assemblies to power the roller to rotate. The input end of each universal joint is connected to a corresponding one of the redirection devices.
