13" BENCH TOP HELICAL PLANER WITH FREE CARBIDE CUTTERS

Upgrade your woodworking setup with this value-packed bundle featuring the Craftex CX13HC 13" Two-Speed Helical Head Planer and a 10-Pack of premium carbide replacement cutters. Designed for woodworkers who want superior surface quality and reduced maintenance, this bundle gives you everything you need to keep your planer performing at its best.

The CX13HC is powered by a robust 2 HP, 120V motor and features a 13" planing capacity with a 6-row helical-style cutterhead that delivers cleaner cuts, quieter operation, and less tear-out than traditional straight-knife planers. Choose between two feed speeds (16 or 26 FPM) to prioritize either exceptional finish quality or faster stock removal, while the precision 4-column carriage system helps minimize snipe and improves cutting stability. Large infeed and outfeed tables provide excellent support for longer workpieces, and dual dust collection ports make shop cleanup easy.

Included in this bundle is a 10-pack of high-quality carbide cutter inserts, precision-machined to fit the CX13HC. These double-sided 14.3 × 14.3 × 2 mm carbide cutters provide long-lasting cutting performance and can be individually rotated or replaced when worn or damaged, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. They also fit several other compatible helical-head planers and jointers using the same insert size.

Whether you're surfacing rough lumber, building furniture, or working on cabinetry, this bundle provides both the performance of a premium benchtop planer and the convenience of having replacement carbide cutters ready when you need them.
