The Story
The Sherwood 8in Benchtop Helical Head Jointer is a revolutionary machine that delivers a full 8 inches of planing capacity in a benchtop format. It is a compact, powerful solution for precise planing, with a true helical cutterhead that makes short work of timber, including challenging or figured woods.
Perfect for small workshops or on-site tasks, this jointer combines portability with extensive features, making it an efficient choice for limited spaces.
Features
- Equipped with a helical cutterhead and 18 carbide cutters, each sharpened on four edges.
- Durable cast-iron table ensures a stable, reliable jointing surface.
- Generous 208 x 900 mm table size with extendable work support rollers give a total support length of 1.4 metres.
- Powered by a 1500W (2HP) motor, delivering up to 10,000 RPM for adjustable cuts from 0 to 3mm in depth.
- Adjustable cast-iron fence (115 x 640 mm) with a 0 to 90-degree angle range.
- Includes a stand, a push block, a nominal 60mm dust port, and a dust filter bag for cleaner operation.
Helical Cutterhead
The Sherwood 8in Benchtop Jointer’s helical head, with 18 carbide inserts arranged in two rows, enables smooth, tear-free planing of intricate or difficult grains. Each 15mm square insert is sharpened on all four edges and has a slight radius, creating a shearing action that minimises tear-out. When an edge becomes dull, simply rotate the insert for a fresh, sharp cutting surface.
Precision and Stability
With a top-tier fence mount system and robust cast-iron construction, this jointer provides exceptional accuracy and stability. Precision bearings support the helical head for a smooth, vibration-free cutting experience.
Versatile Design
The included stand allows the jointer to be used as a free-standing tool or placed on a workbench or stored away, making it perfect for smaller workshops or mobile setups.
5-Year Warranty
Backed by a standard 5-year limited warranty, the Sherwood 8in Benchtop Helical Head Jointer is the most supported machine in its class.
