G0968 16" Double-Sided Planer
Streamline commercial planing operations by adding a solid cast-iron, double-sided planer to your shop!
Slash production time with a powerful machine that planes both sides of rough lumber at once.
With upper and lower spiral cutterheads powered by 15 HP and 10 HP motors respectively, this exceptional machine mills boards with dimensional consistency.
Insert changes are quick on the lower horizontal slide-out cutterhead - no extended delays needed for changeouts.
Digital positioning makes it simple to set or change board thickness and ensures precise results on every run.
Variable speed of 20 to 69 feet per minute is easily controlled by a digital inverter for greater production control and less gear and motor wear.
The solid precision-ground, chrome-plated table withstands extensive use, and provides smooth feeding for years of efficient operation.
Auto lubrication and a one-shot table oiler simplify the maintenance process and extends the life of the machine.
This feature-packed double-sided planer also includes three steel bed rollers, two 5" dust ports, and a rear-outfeed emergency stop.
A high-production two-sided planer designed for busy commercial woodworking shops.
