Introducing the Shop Fox W1742H 15" Planer with Helical Cutterhead
Experience enhanced lumber quality with the W1742H Shop Fox 15" Helical Cutterhead Planer. This planer is designed to provide consistent thickness and flatness, and it's packed with features you've been looking for, all at an affordable price.
The key features of the W1742H planer include a 15", 5-row helical cutterhead equipped with 75 indexable carbide inserts. Each of these inserts can be rotated three times, ensuring a continuous supply of sharp cutting edges. The inserts are set at a slight angle, enabling smooth shearing cuts, reducing tearout, delivering a smoother finish, and operating at lower noise levels.
Powering this machine is a robust 240-volt, 3 horsepower motor, capable of handling cuts up to 3/32" deep at full width or 1/8" deep on material up to 6" wide. You have the flexibility to choose between two feed rates with the 2-speed gearbox, offering a choice between 16 and 30 feet per minute for either a smooth finish or a high-production feed rate.
For safety and convenience, the W1742H 15" Planer comes with a pedestal-mounted thermal-overload safety switch, cast-iron extension wings, and a built-in mobile base. Please note that depending on your machine's manufacturing date, you'll need to order the appropriate replacement carbide inserts.
Rest assured, this planer is CSA certified, and it comes with a 2-year warranty that covers parts and guarantees freedom from factory defects (consumables excluded).
Your machine comes with a comprehensive, easy to follow manual written by the Woodstock HQ documentation department right here in the USA.
