Machorool® FB132H 13" 2-Speed Thickness Planer with Helical Cutterhead

Smooth as butter!

What can I say, this thing is a beast. I did a bit of tuning out of the box to lessen snipe, but by time I had it dialed in the snip was almost nonexistent. I think the nicest feature is just how reliable repeat thicknesses are when preparing stock. The results are consistent, which is worth the price in and of itself.

Excellent machine!

I bought my Machorool® FB132H 13" 2-Speed Thickness Planer with Helical Cutterhead for a project I was doing. Needed to make 1910 style 2 1/4” raster tails. I found some 3x6 fir to sister on to the main rafters. Almost clear fir from Warren Trask through my lumber company. So I planed 50 pieces down from 2 1/2” to 2 1/4” like butter. Now I have a planer for future projects that I can transport on site!

New 13" planer with helical cutterhead

I purchased the FB132H 13" 2 speed thickness planer with Helical cutterhead. This unit produces absolutely smooth as glass finish on all of the different types of wood I have used. I am a 30 year owner of a freestanding Shopsmith planer but would recommend this to Shopsmith owners as well!
