Description
The Grizzly G0988 Benchtop Planer is a heavy-duty wide-capacity planer built for professional woodworking shops that need to surface large material accurately and efficiently. With a 32-inch planing width and a powerful 15 HP motor, it is designed for live-edge slabs, large edge-glued panels, countertops, custom furniture parts, and cabinetry components.
Its 6-row V-helical cutterhead uses 201 indexable carbide inserts to help reduce tearout, lower noise, and deliver a smoother finish across wide stock. Variable feed speeds, digital table elevation with preset positions, and chain-driven feed rollers support consistent results and faster repeat work in production environments.
Built with heavy-duty steel construction, dual 5-inch dust ports, and safety-focused features like anti-kickback fingers and a rear emergency stop, this machine is made for serious users who need capacity, control, and durability. It is a strong fit for professional woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and furniture makers handling demanding large-format planing tasks.
