Maximize workshop space with a compact 8" jointer-planer combo featuring a 1-1/2 HP motor and an 18-insert helical cutterhead for smooth, controlled stock preparation.

Designed for small workshops, hobbyists, and DIY woodworkers, this compact benchtop jointer-planer combines two essential stock-preparation functions in one space-saving machine. Use the jointer to create flat faces and straight edges, then switch to the planer to bring material to a consistent thickness.

The helical cutterhead uses 18 indexable carbide inserts arranged diagonally in two rows. This configuration produces a shearing cut that helps reduce tear-out, lower operating noise, and leave a smoother surface than a conventional straight-knife cutterhead. The result is cleaner stock that may require less sanding before final finishing.
