Features

  • CUTECH SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD - Cutterhead with 6 rows that holds staggered inserts for a smooth finish. The spiral cutterhead is known for its reduced noise levels and smoother finishes, making it ideal for beginners who want professional results without frustration. The design of the cutterhead along with the use of in-house made inserts make cuts with the lowest amp draw compared to others.
  • TWO-SIDED INSERTS - Two-sided inserts sit in perfect alignment to the spiral cutterhead. Non-cutting edge designed to prevent insert from skewing while planing. The precision is superior to 4-sided inserts.
  • SNIPE MINIMIZER - Cutech's 4 lead screws and patented coupling design automatically minimizes snipe. No need for the additional snipe lock to get the same results.
  • DEPTH OF CUT INDICATOR - Handy scale on the front of the planer shows the amount to be taken off in the next planing.
  • BOARD RETURN ROLLERS - Send boards back to the front for the next planing with the newly added rollers on top of the machine.

Description

Meet Cutech's tough-built planer family. An upgrade to the straight knife machine, Cutech planers use indexable inserts on a spiral cutterhead that performs beautifully on even the most difficult materials. 2-sided inserts to ensure a smooth finish time after time. Designed for optimal performance with the 4-lead screw and patented coupling mechanism, Cutech planers provide the best that benchtop planers have to offer. The Snipe Minimizer is integrated into the basic operation of the machine. Projects made simple from end grain cutting boards to hard maple flooring, Cutech spiral cutterhead planers will thickness your boards to a fine finish. The new board return rollers make transfering the board back to the front a breeze.

    • The Cutech 40800H has far exceeded my expectations
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
This planer has quickly become an essential tool in my home workshop—one I didn’t even realize I needed until I tried it. Before purchasing the Cutech 40800H, I had never used a planer, but I needed a reliable and efficient way to produce smooth, flat boards. This machine has exceeded every expectation. Originally, I was leaning toward a Dewalt planer, but after reading reviews and watching comparison videos, I decided to give Cutech a try. I’m so glad I did. Assembly was simple, taking less than 20 minutes, and with the help of a few YouTube tutorials, I was confidently running boards through in no time. The results were outstanding—beautifully flat and smooth surfaces that actually outperformed boards I had sanded with 220-grit paper. In many cases, I can now skip sanding altogether. The Cutech 40800H has transformed my woodworking process, saving me time and delivering professional-quality results. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone considering a planer. ... show more

    • It's a T-Rex the size of a cooler.
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
If you're in the market for a very good planer but don't have a lot of space, you can stop here. I've been using this now for a few days and I can honestly say it's definitely worth the money. I do a lot of work with resin and charcuterie boards as well as hardwoods like dense purple Heart Wood. I still have a good Ridgid 3 knife planer but the knives dulled very quickly, especially with resin. This unit doesn't even compare. At all. I purchased the unit with the carbide blades and they chew through anything I have thrown at them with ease. I like the fact that it's got two speeds so when I'm sending dense Hardwood or resin through it, it doesn't need to work nearly as hard to do the job. It does strain sending end grain cutting boards in when I have no other alternative to smooth them out. Sure, it's a big bite out of your wallet but you will be glad you bit the bullet on this one. ... show more

Style: 12-1/2-Inch Single Speed
I recommend this planner to anyone interested in purchasing one. It delivers a smooth cut with minimal to no snipe, performs better than any other planner I've owned, and is reasonably priced.

    • Spend the time to set it up perfect.
Style: 12-1/2-Inch Single Speed
This worked pretty good for a mobile planer. It was quite accurate after I spent the time to level the retractable tables, which was setup close but needed about 10 mins of adjusting to get it perfect. No cupping at all after I adjusted it, but there was cupping before I adjusted. It will make a great addition to my wood works! I never tried the spiral cutting planers before, it really does a good job on the wood I work with. Sitka Spruce, Douglas Fir, and Hemlock, from my Saw Mill. I was taking very thin cuts, and the finished product was great, much better than I thought it would be. Moisture meter showed my wood was about 11-12 on the wood. No sanding needed so far. ... show more

    • Great Machine
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
Great machine, great quality. Was even impressed with how it was packed and shipped. Bought the Cutech 12" jointer with it. Both together cost the same as the more popular planer by itself, saved myself a lot of money.

    • Well designed. No snipe.
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
Pleasantly surprised that after a relatively easy out of box assembly, I was able to use this machine immediately and could get perfectly coplaner surfaces with very little snipe. I found that I I mounted the machine in such a way that I could align its surface with the surfaces of a pair of tables for infeed and outfeed, then I wouldn't get any snipe at all. It wasn't obvious from the documentation, but I also found that if I feed the work pieces into the right side of the opening (nearest to the vacuum outlet), that the dust collection was much better than I found at first, when I would feed the work piece into the center of the table. I'd recommend getting the version with the tungsten carbide blades. I've already planed a lot of rough lumber (walnut, ash, cherry) and I still get perfecly flat surfaces without any ridges from blade burrs. ... show more

    • Works fine, but won't replace broken part
Style: 13-Inch Single Speed
The planer arrived with a broken thickness gauge (probably a $0.50 plastic piece that snaps onto the front of the planer). I reached out through Amazon to get a replacement gauge and they refused send a new one. The planer works fine otherwise....other than the fact I can't use the thickness gauge to set my initial depth. ... show more

    • Works great, set up perfect right out of the box.
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
The media could not be loaded. Absolutely love this planer, runs great, leaves about a 150 grit finish. I’ve ran many many BF of hardwoods (walnut,hard maple, apple etc) and it’s just chugging right along. Dust collection isn’t the best but works good enough. Only takes a minute to clean up what it missed. ... show more
