The Laguna 16" Thickness Planer is the perfect "big planer" for small shops. The cast-iron infeed and outfeed tables provide plenty of support to process your lumber without snipe. The 5 HP motor can easily power its way through wide stock. Table adjustments are smooth and accurate with a handwheel and a positive gear drive system and 4 post support. Dual feed speeds allows you to quickly remove stock for thicknessing and to slow the feed for precise finish cuts. Table rollers are positioned below the chain-driven infeed and outfeed rollers for smooth feeding even with wide boards. Digital readout makes precision and repeatable cuts effortless. Laguna's ShearTecll spiral cutterhead rapidly produces a superior finish from the German carbide inserts. Magnetic switch with overload protection insures safety and reliability. CSA and UL certified
