Powerful motor that can handle larger cuts in wider materials
Three knife cutter head that delivers 30% longer knife life
Two-speed gear box that allows users to change feed speed

This 13-inch planer has a motor of 15 AMP and 20,000 RPM (10,000 RPM cutterhead speed) ensures it can easily handle larger cuts in wider materials. The three knife cutter head of the thickness planer delivers 30% longer knife life, making knife change faster and easier. The wood planer's two-speed gear box allows users to change feed speed, optimizing cuts per inch at 96 or 179 CPI. It has a fan-assisted chip ejection that vacuums chips off of the cutter-head and exhausts them out of the machine. With a 19-3/4inch cast aluminum base that is 2X more rigid than a standard 10-inch base and folding tables, this planer is built to last. The automatic carriage lock reduces the movement that causes snipe without the need for manual engagement by the user.
