15" stationary planer designed for woodworking shops that require industrial durability and precision in a versatile floor-standing format. Powered by a 3HP, 230V, 1-phase motor, the 15BHH surfaces hardwoods and softwoods consistently across its full 15" cutting width, with a maximum board thickness capacity of 6". Its 4-row helical cutterhead carries 48 four-sided carbide inserts running at 5,200 RPM, producing a smooth, professional surface finish with significantly reduced noise and extended insert life compared to straight-knife designs.

• 4-row helical cutterhead delivers a smooth finish, operates more quietly, and outlasts straight-knife heads.
• Digital readout displays exact board thickness in real time, enabling precise, repeatable settings that hold across operators and multiple passes.
• Solid cast iron infeed and outfeed tables resist flex and damp vibration, keeping long boards supported and the cutting surface consistent from end to end.
• Selectable 16 and 28 FPM feed rates let operators choose between a refined finish pass and aggressive stock removal without any tooling changes.
• Upgraded caster locking and braking system provides rolling mobility for repositioning while securing the machine firmly in place during cuts.
• Mfr.'s 5-year warranty.
