Laguna PX|16 ShearTec: II Planer - MPLANPX16-0130

Introducing the groundbreaking Laguna PX|16 Planer, a marvel of modern engineering in the woodworking industry. This latest addition to the Laguna lineup represents a leap forward in planer design, blending innovative features with enhanced ergonomics to make your woodworking projects both safer and more enjoyable.

The PX|16 is equipped with both infeed and outfeed rollers, which significantly ease the process of material loading and feeding. Despite its comprehensive capabilities, the planer maintains a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for workshops where space is at a premium.

One of the standout features of the PX|16 is the strategically placed Digital Readout (DRO). Now located on the control panel, the DRO offers enhanced ergonomics, making it simpler for operators to make precise adjustments quickly and effortlessly. This shift not only boosts productivity but also enhances the overall user experience.

The ergonomic control panel is another significant enhancement. All machine controls have been centralized and angled towards the operator, ensuring easy access and clear visibility. This design, combined with a sleek new cabinet, gives the PX|16 a modern and streamlined appearance that sets it apart from traditional planers.

Efficiency in dust management has also been improved with a 4-inch diameter dust chute, which can be oriented to the right or left depending on the layout of your dust collection system. This flexibility helps in optimizing the workshop environment, keeping it cleaner and safer.

The PX|16 doesn’t just look good—it performs exceptionally well too. The 4-post bed support system ensures precise and consistent performance with every cut, vital for achieving professional-quality results. At the core of its cutting prowess is the ShearTec II cutterhead, a standard feature on this model. Known for its six rows of carbide insert knives, the ShearTec II cutterhead effortlessly handles all types of wood, including challenging hardwoods, and is designed to deliver a superior surface finish.

Additionally, the PX|16 features a serrated infeed roller positioned close to the cutterhead, which works in tandem with the pressure bar to virtually eliminate snipe. This ensures that each piece of wood is flawlessly smooth and perfectly prepared for further processing or finishing.

The Laguna PX|16 Planer is more than just a tool—it’s a comprehensive solution designed for woodworkers who value precision, control, and efficiency in their craft. Whether you are a professional seeking to enhance your workshop’s capabilities or a hobbyist looking to invest in top-tier equipment, the PX|16 is designed to exceed your expectations and elevate the standard of your projects.
