I have a Wilma dining table (190 x 105) where the top needs to be planed down about 10-15 mm. The reason is a fire in the tablecloth that fortunately was discovered in time, but it left quite deep and ugly marks.
Which machine is needed for this, with high demands on finish. Tips on where to turn are gratefully received (Gävle-Uppsala-Stockholm area).

How thick is the board to begin with? Won't there be a very thin board left if you remove as much as 15mm?
Have you planed much in your days? I assume you haven't since you're asking this question. It's possible to go down with an electric planer, but it's a lot to take off and very hard to get it flat. You might need to fine-tune with a regular hand plane as well. It's a craft that requires practice. It doesn't turn out well the first time you try, so to speak.
The only sensible thing is to take the board to a woodworking shop and have them run it through a jointer. Probably, it won't be possible to take whole tabletops in one cut, so it will need to be split, planed, and then joined again.

I probably need to take 10-15 to get rid of the marks. The board is probably closer to 40-45 mm, I will check exactly. I haven't planed much in my days and it wouldn't be fun to have to split the board.
Unfortunately, I saw that it's a combination of solid and veneered oak.

Can something be put in the damaged area instead?

Call the insurance company instead.
I assumed it was a solid top. If it is veneered, there's no point in planing. If it has burned a 15 mm deep hole in a 40 mm top, it sounds like it is completely ruined. It will be cheaper to buy a new table. Is it possible to buy just a top?
Plastic wood has helped many players.
