Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser with Helical Cutterhead 1800W

The Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser is a wide format, compact dual-purpose machine with a powerful 1800W motor. Perfect for busy workshops with limited space and varied dimensioning requirements.

Dimensioning timber is a fundamental process of woodworking, and a combination planer thicknesser is the perfect machine to complete this work. Sherwood combination machines are compact, robust, and easy to tune and maintain. No workshop, enthusiast or professional, should be without proper dimensioning machinery.

The Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser

The 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser has capacity for material up to 305mm wide in both jointing and thicknessing modes - unrivalled in a 1800W benchtop combo machine. If you are in need of both a wide-format jointer and thicknesser, but short on space, this is the machine for you!

Material removal is easily adjusted with metric scales in both modes, with simple yet effective knob and winder handles. The die cast aluminium planer bed measures 1075 x 310mm. Combined with the 610 x 127mm quick release jointer fence, adjustable between 0° and 45°, your material is always supported.

With a simple change over, convenient dust shroud with 4in port, plus an included push stick and push block, the Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser will be your workshop dimensioning partner through thick and thin.

Easy Changeover

The Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combo machine offers a simple changeover method. Rather than the standard lift-up function commonly found in combination machines, the compact nature of this model allows for the thicknesser to be accessed whilst the planer bed remains in place. All that is required to change modes is to add or remove the jointer fence, and change the position of the dust shroud.

Helical Cutterhead with Tungsten Carbide Knives

The Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser features a helical cutterhead with tungsten carbide insert knives. These 28 diagonally arranged indexed inserts each have a slightly radiused edge, offering a true shear cut. This requires less horsepower, produces smaller chips, and provides a smoother cut with far less noise than other types of cutterheads.

Carbide knives do not require sharpening. Once dull, turn the knife to expose a fresh sharp edge. Expect to rotate the knives once for 8-10 blade changes on traditional straight HSS blades, and with four cutting edges, you can expect many years of service before replacement is required.

European blade guard

The European styled blade guard is easily adjusted and provides you with maximum protection when using such a wide blade machine. Plane with confidence on your Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combo.

Dust shroud

The dust shroud acts as your point of extraction for both planing and thicknessing modes. Featuring two integrated locking pins, it easily fixes in place over the cutterhead in thicknessing mode, or underneath the bed when in planing mode. The 4in outlet is suited to most common hose and coupling sizes.

5 year warranty

All Sherwood products feature a standard 5-Year limited warranty. No other thicknesser in its class is more supported than the Sherwood 12in Benchtop Combination Planer Thicknesser.
