Built for heavy-duty workshop use, this 20" planer provides the power and capacity needed to thickness wide boards accurately and efficiently. Its 5HP, 220V single-phase TEFC motor drives a four-knife high-speed steel cutterhead at 5,000 RPM for consistent material removal.

The precision-ground cast iron table and full cast iron extension wings provide solid support for larger workpieces. A rugged four-column support system helps maintain table stability and alignment throughout the adjustment range.

Dual feed speeds of 16 and 20 FPM allow the operator to balance productivity and surface finish for different materials and cutting conditions. A neutral feed position provides additional control during machine setup.

Solid serrated steel power-feed rollers help move stock through the planer, while board return rollers make repeated passes more convenient. The enclosed cabinet stand provides a stable base, and the integrated mobile system allows the planer to be repositioned within the shop.

Additional features include a magnetic safety switch, shielded and permanently lubricated bearings, dual V-belt drive, and a 5" dust chute for connection to a compatible dust collection system. The machine is finished in durable two-tone powder-coated paint and is backed by a three-year warranty.
