Laguna Tools PX|20 SHEARTEC: II Planer 5HP 220V 1PH

Description

Surface figured hardwood lumber and dense structural timbers without cutterhead tear-out or knife change delays. The Laguna Tools PX|20 SHEARTEC: II planer flattens heavy timber using advanced helical carbide cutterhead technology. This industrial wood planer surfaces figured hardwoods, trailer sideboards, and equipment workbenches across production shops. It cannot run on standard 115-volt single-phase branch circuits.

A massive cast-iron machine bed, column system, and head casting eliminate structural deflection under heavy wood stock removal passes. A heavy 5HP single-phase electric motor drives the SHEARTEC II helical head through multiple V-belts. Four-sided solid carbide inserts shear wood fibers at an angle, producing glass-smooth surfaces without grain tear-out. Segmented serrated steel infeed rollers advance lumber smoothly across the polished bed.

Helical Head Planer Hardware Specifications

Commercial millwork facilities and industrial woodworking shops demand heavy helical head planers to surface figured hardwoods without grain tear-out. This machine delivers continuous lumber thicknessing across full work shifts.

• 20-inch maximum planing width surfaces wide rough-sawn lumber boards in single passes
• 5HP single-phase 220-volt electric motor powers through deep cuts in dense hardwoods
• SHEARTEC II helical cutterhead houses four-sided solid carbide insert knives
• Shearing cut geometry eliminates grain tear-out on curly maple and figured timbers
• Segmented steel infeed roller grips boards of varying thickness across the bed width
• Two-speed feed gearbox shifts between 16 and 20 FPM for roughing and finish work
• Five-inch dust extraction port clears high-volume wood chips from the cutterhead

Dynamometer Cutterhead Load Telemetry

Motor dyno testing measures 21 Amps continuous electrical draw at 220 volts under full 1/8-inch stock removal passes across 18-inch wide hard maple slabs. The helical head spins at 5000 RPM, producing an ultra-smooth 40 micro-inch surface finish. Sound pressure tests register 81 dBA under active lumber planing, running 8 dBA quieter than straight-knife heads. Table deflection remains under 0.002 inches across the entire 20-inch bed.

Production Surfacing Usability Boundary Filter

Operators set table height using the electronic digital readout, engage bed roller locks, and slide timber flat onto the cast infeed table. Support long planks with heavy external roller stands. Do not plane boards shorter than nine inches or lumber containing embedded nails.

• Individual carbide insert screws require torque checks to 48 inch-pounds with a Torx driver
• Table elevation screw columns require cleaning and grease application every month
• Dust extraction system demands minimum 900 CFM airflow to clear heavy chip volume
