Sherwood 8in Parallelogram Jointer with Helical Spiral Head 3HP

Workshop ready with a Heavy-Duty 3HP motor and extended in-feed fence, Sherwood’s 8in Parallelogram Jointer is designed for robust precision.

The Sherwood 8in Parallelogram Jointer sets a new standard for performance, featuring a precision-engineered parallel bed design, a powerful 3HP induction motor, a low-friction spiral cutterhead with 52 knives, and premium Japanese SKF bearings. Supported by a heavy-duty welded cabinet base and offering outstanding stability, smooth operation, and an extended 1950mm bed length, this jointer easily competes with the best machines on the market. Backed by Sherwood’s Five-Year Warranty, it offers unbeatable performance and value for serious woodworkers.

Precision Parallel Bed Design

Unlike traditional wedge-bed jointers, the parallelogram design ensures that the distance between the cutterhead and the bed remains constant during adjustments. This minimises clearance for a superior finish and improved cutting efficiency.

Heavy-Duty Welded Cabinet Base

The solid welded one-piece cabinet base provides exceptional floor stability, allowing for smoother operation even when handling large workpieces. It also houses a 4in integral dust port for efficient waste removal.

Powerful 3HP Induction Motor

Driving the cutterhead is a heavy-duty 3HP induction motor, delivering the extra power needed to tackle even the hardest Australian hardwoods without slowing down.

Advanced Poly-Ribbed V-Belt Drive

A wide poly-ribbed V-belt replaces the older double-tapered system, providing improved power transfer, reduced inertia, and quieter, smoother operation, while extending overall belt life.

Low-Friction Spiral Cutterhead with Japanese SKF Bearings

The upgraded spiral cutterhead, supported by large Japanese SKF bearings, delivers quieter, smoother cuts with reduced friction and extended durability. Featuring six spirals and 52 knives, it offers exceptional cutting performance, capable of handling even dense timbers without bogging down.

Extended 1950mm Precision-Machined Bed

Both infeed and outfeed tables are precision-machined over multiple days to stabilise the cast iron, ensuring flatness and perfect alignment. With a 1950mm bed length, this jointer can comfortably straighten workpieces up to 4m long.

Exclusive Extended In-Feed Fence

Designed with a longer in-feed side rather than out-feed, Sherwood’s exclusive fence design provides greater accuracy when feeding longer workpieces across the cutterhead.

Solid Cast-Iron Fence Bracket with Rack and Pinion Adjustment

The higher fence is mounted to a solid cast-iron bracket for superior support. Easy-to-use rack and pinion adjustment allows quick setting changes, locking firmly in place for reliable performance. The fence can tilt up to 45°, with integral stops at both 45° and 90° for efficient bevelled edge planing.

Front-Mounted Foldable Handwheels

Foldable handwheels positioned at the front of the jointer allow for safer and easier table adjustments, reducing the risk of snagging clothing and improving workshop ergonomics.

Convenient Quick-Stop Safety Switch

The switch is mounted on an accessible arm, enabling fast shutoff with an elbow if hands are occupied — enhancing safety without interrupting workflow.

5-Year Warranty

The Sherwood 8in Parallelogram Jointer is protected by a comprehensive Five-Year Warranty, providing peace of mind and reinforcing its outstanding build quality and long-term value.
