Unmatched Surface Quality with Helical Cutterhead
The Oliver HCX helical cutterhead features 52 four-sided carbide inserts, delivering incredibly smooth finishes with minimal tear-out. Unlike straight knives, these indexed carbide inserts last longer, are quieter, and can be easily rotated when dull, extending their lifespan and saving you money on replacements.
Virtually No Snipe for Consistent Thickness
Thanks to the auto-depth lock with twin nitrogen cylinders, this planer virtually eliminates snipe, the frustrating dip at the beginning and end of a board. Your stock remains perfectly level from start to finish, reducing material waste and ensuring a professional-quality finish.
Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction for Stability
The cast iron table and extension wings provide a solid, vibration-free surface, keeping your stock steady during planning. This heavy-duty design enhances precision and durability, making it a reliable machine for long-term use in any woodworking shop.
Effortless Thickness Adjustments with Digital Accuracy
The Wixey digital readout allows you to set precise thickness measurements with ease, taking the guesswork out of achieving the exact dimensions you need. Whether working on fine furniture or custom joinery, this feature ensures absolute accuracy every time.
Two-Speed Feed Gearbox for Versatility
With two feed speed options (16 & 20 feet per minute), you can choose between rapid stock removal or ultra-smooth finishing passes. This versatility gives you complete control over the final surface quality, adapting to different project needs with ease.
Four-Post Design Ensures Cutterhead Alignment
Unlike single-column or cantilevered designs, this rigid four-post support system keeps the cutterhead perfectly aligned, regardless of stock thickness. This prevents uneven cutting, improving the planer’s accuracy and ensuring consistently smooth boards.
Built for Long-Term Performance with Oil-Bath Gear Lubrication
The oil-bath gear system ensures smooth, long-lasting operation by reducing wear and tear on internal components. This self-lubricating system extends the lifespan of your planer, requiring minimal maintenance while providing years of trouble-free performance.
Efficient Dust Collection for a Cleaner Workspace
The 4” dust port connects easily to a dust collection system, efficiently removing chips and debris as you work. This not only keeps your workshop cleaner but also improves visibility and extends the life of your cutting inserts by reducing airborne particles.
Easy Mobility with Built-In Casters
Despite its solid cast iron build, this planer is designed for convenience with built-in heavy-duty casters, allowing you to move it effortlessly around your workshop. Once positioned, the wheels lock in place, ensuring stability during operation.
Enhanced Safety with Magnetic Switch Protection
The industrial-grade magnetic switch prevents accidental startups and protects the motor from power fluctuations. This feature ensures a safer working environment while also prolonging the lifespan of the machine’s electrical components.
Cut the chatter, not the quality—whisper-quiet helical cutterhead for flawless finishes.
