The PX|12 benchtop planer with Quadtec I cutterhead features 24 solid carbide 4-sided inserts that are easy to rotate for a fresh cutting edge. Delivering great performance in a compact package, the Quadtec I all but eliminates tearout on the trickiest grain. Seasoned woodworkers know that reversing grain, knots, and dense hardwoods can cause problems with straight HSS knives, but the solid carbide cutters in the Quadtec I head change the game. The powerful 2HP motor spins the cutterhead at 10,000 RPM for the smoothest possible finish. Infeed and outfeed rollers at a close proximity to the cutterhead virtually eliminate snipe.
Features:
Solid carbide inserts can be rotated 4x to extend their already long life
Inserts are mounted in a straight line, requiring less machining and saving costs
QuadTec I is also quieter than conventional straight knives
Each carbide insert is indexed, requiring no jig when rotating or replacing
QuadTec I is a game changer when planing tricky grain in hardwoods
Pull-out extensions and flip-down extensions make it easy to feed stock through the machine
