13 in. Portable Planer with Spiral-Style Cutterhead

13 inch thickness planer delivers the power, cut quality, and control needed for surfacing wider boards and handling demanding woodworking applications. Built to support productivity in the shop, this planer combines a powerful motor, two feed speed options, and a three knife cutter head to help optimize finish quality and material removal across a range of projects. Accuracy-focused features, chip management, and included infeed and outfeed tables help improve workflow, while the extra set of knives adds convenience and long-term value.

This top-of-the-line 13 in. 2 HP Benchtop Planer with Helical Cutterhead comes with features you would expect from only the best. The granite table provides exceptional stability, never rusts and stays smooth and even for the life of the planer compared to steel bases that may deflect or sag in the planning process. The G0940 helical cutterhead has 30 inserts arranged in 2 rows that creates a cleaner, smoother and quieter cut compared to straight knife blades. Featuring a fixed-height table design, the cutterhead raises and lowers for thickness adjustments, as opposed to the table. This allows for permanent infeed and outfeed table setups. A depth-of-cut indicator that reads up to 1/8 in. helps you track planning depth. An adjustable cutterhead depth stop allows for repeatable planning operations to speed up production, reduce downtime and improve efficiency. The easy carry handles make this planer great for the jobsite and can be easily stowed-away after use in any home shop.
