Sherwood 8in Wedge Bed Jointer Planer Straight Cutterhead 2HP

Sherwood's 8in Cabinet Jointer Planer is new, improved and solid as a rock. Now featuring extended in-feed fence.

Replacement blades are available here.

The upgraded Sherwood 8in Jointer delivers outstanding performance, now equipped with a powerful 2HP induction motor, precision-balanced components, and Japanese SKF bearings for smoother, quieter operation. Built on a heavy-duty welded cabinet base and featuring a precision-machined 1.8m wedge-bed, a redesigned straight-blade cutterhead, and a longer in-feed fence for better control, this jointer easily competes with the best on the market — at a price point unmatched by its rivals. With smart upgrades like front-mounted foldable handwheels, a quick-stop safety switch, and the rock-solid Sherwood Five-Year Warranty, this jointer is the perfect choice for demanding workshops.

Heavy-Duty Welded Cabinet Base

The one-piece welded cabinet base provides excellent floor stability, critical for smooth operation. Removing the mobile wheel kit has further increased the machine’s rigidity, enhancing cutting accuracy and safety.

Powerful 2HP Induction Motor

The upgraded 2HP induction motor delivers greater efficiency and cutting power, making it capable of handling harder timbers and larger workloads with ease.

Efficient Dust Extraction

A 4in integral dust port is fitted to efficiently remove waste directly from the source, keeping the work area cleaner and improving cutting visibility.

Precision Poly-Ribbed V-Belt Drive

Replacing the previous double-tapered belt system, the new single wide poly-ribbed V-belt offers superior power transfer, reduced inertia, quieter operation, and a longer service life.

Japanese SKF Bearings for Smoother Performance

The cutterhead is supported by large Japanese SKF bearings, ensuring low-friction, quieter, and smoother operation, while also increasing the machine’s durability.

Redesigned Straight Blade Cutterhead

The cutterhead has been re-engineered with an increased diameter and four symmetrical blades, producing more cuts per minute and improving overall machine balance and surface finish. A helical path spiral cutterhead option is also available.

Classic Precision Wedge-Bed Design

The precision-machined wedge-bed cast-iron tables are carefully stabilised and polished over multiple days, ensuring perfectly aligned in-feed and out-feed tables. With a 1.8m table length, the jointer can easily straighten workpieces up to 3.6m long.

Extended In-Feed Fence for Greater Accuracy

The fence design has been improved by extending the in-feed side rather than the out-feed, allowing better support and accuracy for longer workpieces during initial planing operations.

Solid Cast-Iron Fence Bracket with Rack and Pinion Adjustment

The high fence is mounted on a solid cast-iron bracket, offering excellent support for edge planing. Easy-to-use rack and pinion adjustment locks the fence securely in place and allows tilting up to 45°, with integral stops at 45° and 90° for fast, precise bevel cutting.

Convenient Front-Mounted Foldable Handwheels

Both table adjustment handwheels are now mounted at the front of the jointer with foldable handles, making adjustments easier and safer by reducing the chance of catching clothing.

Quick-Access Safety Switch

The safety switch remains conveniently mounted on an arm, making it easy to shut the machine off with an elbow when hands are occupied.

5-Year Warranty

Like all Sherwood machinery, this 8in jointer is supported by a comprehensive Five-Year Warranty, offering peace of mind and confidence in long-term performance.
