Built for serious woodworking and all-day production, this heavy-duty 15" planer delivers the capacity, stability, and convenience needed for processing rough lumber efficiently. Its 3 HP, 220V TEFC motor drives a three-knife HSS cutterhead at 5,000 RPM, producing up to 15,000 cuts per minute for smooth, consistent stock preparation.

A rugged four-column support system helps maintain cutterhead alignment, while precision-ground cast iron extension wings provide solid infeed and outfeed support. Serrated steel power-feed rollers move material securely through the machine, and two feed speeds let you choose between faster stock removal and a finer finished surface.

The planer also includes board return rollers, a magnetic safety switch, a fully enclosed cabinet stand, and an integrated mobile base for easier positioning in the shop. Shielded, permanently lubricated bearings and a dual V-belt drive support dependable long-term operation.

Like all Craftex CX-Series machines, this planer features a durable powder-coated finish, two-tone styling, and a three-year warranty.
