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

  • Works like a charm
Style: 13-Inch Single Speed
I have only used it once since I received it but let me tell you I love this planer. I don't know why I ever bought any other planer's than this one. It is remarkably quiet. It makes the wood feel so soft like it has been sanded to 180 grit paper almost. It did so well with the epoxy. Here is a small project I just did planed recently. The top turned out great. ... show more

  • Cutech planer
Style: 13-Inch 2-Speed (Rifle Green)
I bought this planer to supplement my hand tool work. Ive been planing and trueing boards for years but when I had a project that required thicknessing 30BF I decided it was finally time to buy one. I narrowed it down to three different planers and after careful research I went with the cutech and I'm glad I did. Mind you this is the first planer I ever used and bought so I cannot make a first hand comparison. However I can say that it planes boards straight and true and the finish on the wood is excellent. I do not use a jointer machine. Instead I use my handplanes, a scrub then a jack to completely flatten and level one side which when done, goes face down on the planer and in turn will give you a leveled board that matches the opposite side. I have not had this machine for long so I cannot review how it will stand up over time however it appears to be built very solid and does not rattle shake or even vibrate while in use. More than satisfied thus far. ... show more

  • Replaced dewalt blade planer.
Style: 13-Inch Single Speed
I was spending too much time replacing parts on my old deWalt planer. This cost way less and planes much better than my old 3 blade system. I am quite impressed with the power, and it makes a very clean and smooth board.

  • Broken Parts and some previous wood chips. Depth gauge broken.
Style: 13-Inch Single Speed
Broken Parts and some previous wood chips. Depth gauge broken. I must have got a previous return. Send it back to cutech this time. I ordered a replacement. I'll give it one more try and modify this review based on the quality and performance.

  • Initial review
1. Packaging was great. Given the size and weight, I was expecting some dings in the box. Upon inspection, nothing made it to the planer. 2. Only assembly required was to put on crank handle and dust cover. 3. I was expecting to have to clean off excess oil/grease before I could use it. None was to be seen anywhere. Nice clean machine. 4. Usually you have too fool around with adjusting the table/bed to try and eliminate snipe. It was good to go right out of the box. Ran pine through and the snipe was so minimal that I had to hold it up to the light to see it the first run and then it was gone the second. Ran a couple of cutting boards made of walnut and maple. It did not hesitate and left me with ZERO snipe. Bye bye planing sled! 5. Noise level was surprising. Running material through is quieter than when my previous two machines were just turned on. 6. Crank adjustments are extremely smooth. No hesitation or popping or jumping. 7. Spiral head vs blades is a no brainer. Just shaves the wood down and came out smoother than a baby’s behind. I’m sure something will come up later but I am happier with this machine than I was my last two combined. Give it a few months and if it is still as smooth, I’ll probably end up with more of their equipment. ... show more
