South Bend SB1109 20" Variable-Speed Planer with Helical Cutterhead
Variable-speed control for precision planing.
Designed with the exacting tolerances your shop demands, the SB1109 20" Planer with Helical Cutterhead is top of its class in precision workmanship and dependability.
The helical cutterhead delivers near mirror-smooth finishes right out of the gate. It consists of four rows of 92 indexable carbide inserts, each angled slightly to produce a shearing action.
This shearing action results a smoother finish and minimized tearout in highly figured woods. This also allows for lower noise levels to what you'll get with 15" straight-knife or other spiral cutterheads on the market.
The variable-speed feed rate, controlled by a twist of the knob, allows for precision adjustments—select a low rate for highly figured woods or a faster rate for production ensuring optimal results based on your specific workpiece.
Other high-end features include a digital table height scale for ultra-precise and consistent thickness adjustments, precision-ground cast-iron tables, and triple belt drive—everything that makes this planer truly live up to the South Bend name.
The SB1109 manual was written by our U.S.-based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.
South Bend tools come with a 2-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects.
The South Bend Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are also U.S.-based.
No more messing around. This will be the last 20" planer you'll ever need to buy.
