U.S Industrial Grizzly Industrial 12" 5 HP Planer/Jointer with V-Helical Cutterhead
Most woodworking projects require lumber that is jointed and planed as a starting point. Save time, space, and money with a machine that does it all.
The G0634X 12" 5 HP Planer / Jointer combines a powerful 5 HP motor with a V-helical cutterhead for unmatched finish and long-lasting durability compared to a machine with straight knives.
No need to sharpen the blades every time they get dull or nicked. The 48 indexable carbide inserts can be rotated up to 3 times for a new sharp edge.
The quick-release fence can be positioned at any angle between 45° and 90° as shown by the tilt scale. The fence has been end-mounted to save space so nothing is protruding from the back of the machine.
Conversion from the jointer to the planer is easy. Just remove the quick-release fence and flip up the jointer tables. To use the jointer again, simply release and lower the tables, put the fence back on and you are ready to face or edge joint.
The planer features cast-iron infeed and outfeed tables, two feed rollers, anti-kickback fingers and a depth of cut scale on the front.
Like all Grizzly machines, the G0634X comes with a 1-year warranty covering parts and assuring the unit is free from factory defects. (Consumables are not covered by the warranty.)
The G0634X manual was written by our U.S. based Tech Doc Department and is packed with useful information. The complete and easy-to-read manual makes it easier to assemble and maintain your machine.
The Grizzly Customer Service and Tech Support Teams are U.S. based. Parts may be available online and shipped from the Grizzly parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
