The Oliver 10055 15" Benchtop HCX Helical Cutterhead Planer is designed for woodworkers who need consistent results without compromising on build quality. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for smaller workshops, yet it doesn’t sacrifice performance or precision.
With a powerful 2.5HP motor and two-speed feed rate, it offers the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials and cutting needs. The 4-post design ensures the cutterhead stays level to the table, contributing to more even planing results. The integrated digital readout and depth stops make repeatable settings quicker and more reliable, saving time on setup. The helical cutterhead improves cut quality and reduces noise, making long sessions more manageable. Combined with a blower-assisted chip ejection and reversible dust port, cleanup becomes more efficient.
Whether you're refining hardwood or prepping stock for a new piece, the 10055 supports your process with stable, accurate, and repeatable performance that holds up under regular use.
Choosing the right planer isn’t just about power—it’s about consistency, ease of use, and making every pass count. The Oliver 10055 15" Benchtop Planer was built with that mindset, offering a well-rounded solution for woodworkers who need reliable results from a machine that won’t demand constant adjustment or troubleshooting. It fits comfortably into smaller shops without compromising stability or cutting performance, making it ideal for hobbyists and professionals who value control over bulk. The setup is straightforward, the adjustments are intuitive, and once dialed in, it holds its settings with minimal fuss.
Whether you're flattening rough boards or fine-tuning thickness across multiple pieces, the experience remains smooth and predictable. Even tasks that typically take time to get right, like repeat passes or changing feed rates, become easier to manage. The Oliver 15 inch benchtop planer delivers where it matters most: steady performance, consistent output, and fewer distractions in your workflow.
