This 8" Bench Top Jointer with Helical Style Cutterhead is designed to bring smooth cutting performance, compact portability, and practical setup features to small shops, job sites, and woodworking workspaces. Powered by a 1HP, 120V motor, it provides the capacity to joint boards up to 8" wide while maintaining the convenience of a benchtop machine.
The 4-row helical style cutterhead uses 16 two-sided H.S.S. indexable cutters to produce a smoother finish than straight knife jointers while helping reduce noise and sanding time. If an insert becomes dull or chipped, it can be rotated to expose a fresh cutting edge, making cutter maintenance faster and easier than traditional straight knife blade changes.
A parallelogram table adjustment system helps support accurate setup, while the Teflon-coated tables improve workpiece movement across the jointer, even when working with hardwoods. Built-in extending handles increase the table support surface for longer boards and also function as strong carry handles for easier portability. The aluminum fence keeps the machine lightweight and includes positive stops at 90° and 135° outward for common jointing setups.
For cleaner operation, the built-in dust collection system includes dual 2-1/2" and 4" dust ports, making it easy to connect to either a shop vacuum or dust collector. Backed by a 3 year warranty, this 8" benchtop jointer is a practical addition for woodworkers who need smooth, accurate stock preparation in a compact footprint.

This 13" Bench Top Planer with Helical Style Cutterhead is designed to deliver the power, finish quality, and cutting control woodworkers expect in a compact benchtop format. Powered by a 2HP, 120V motor, it is built to handle stock up to 13" wide and 6" thick, making it a strong choice for dimensioning lumber, cleaning up rough boards, and preparing material for furniture, cabinetry, and general woodworking projects.
The 6-row helical style cutterhead uses 26 two-sided H.S.S. indexable cutters to produce a smoother finish than traditional straight knife planers while helping reduce noise and sanding time. When an insert edge becomes dull or chipped, simply rotate the cutter to expose a fresh cutting edge, making maintenance faster and easier than changing standard planer knives.
For improved control, the planer offers two feed speeds at 16 and 26 FPM, allowing you to choose between a slower feed for a finer finish or a faster feed for general stock removal. The cutterhead raises and lowers on a 4-column precision ground carriage system for added stability and reduced snipe, while the large 12" x 14" infeed and outfeed tables help support longer boards through the cut.
Additional user-friendly features include top-mounted return rollers, built-in carry handles, thickness and depth-of-cut indicators, and preset depth stops for repeat cuts at common thicknesses. Built-in dust collection with dual 2-1/2" and 4" ports allows easy connection to either a shop vacuum or dust collector.
