Palmgren 84112 15 Amp 12-1/2-Inch 2 Horsepower Benchtop Planer with Dust Bag, 120-Volt 1 Phase

This stationary planer from Palmgren is a workhorse with a real neat streak. It finishes rough-cut lumber to size and planes soft and hardwoods up to 6.5 inches thick and 12.5 inches wide. Wood feeds into the two-blade cutterhead by rubber infeed-outfeed rollers. Sturdy base construction with four-post design permits smooth feeding and virtually snipeless planing. Planer comes with enclosed, universal ball bearing, 2 HP, 12 amp motor with overload protection that provides 18,000 cuts per minute. Motor has ON/OFF switch with removable key to prevent accidental start-up. Unit features easy hands-free replacement of blades for safety and minimized down time, using guide pins to insure cutterhead alignment – no knife gauge is required. This unit features Dustup built-in dust collection system, top mounted rollers for workpiece return and built-in carrying handles. Planer takes cuts up to 3/32 inch per pass at 20 feet per minute. Inch height scale has graduations in 1/16 inch increments, and metric height scale has graduation in 1mm increments. About Dustup: the built-in dust & chip collection system, is a patented feature found on Palmgren Woodworking Tools. Using a built-in impeller and duct system, Dustup collects the wood debris in a 30 micron half bag that the user attaches to a 30 gallon garbage bag or trash can for easy disposal. The system virtually eliminates airborne sawdust and clean-up. Airborne particles are increasingly recognized as not only a nuisance, but also as a potential health hazard. For health and safety, experts recommend using a dust collection system like Dustup with woodworking power tools.
