About Your New Planer

The SHOP FOX® Model W1723 and W1724 15" Planers have been specially designed to provide many years of trouble free service, and the consistent ability to hold fine adjustment settings board-after- board all day long. These planers have a stationary table and a moveable headstock, which makes readjusting accessory infeed and outfeed support-table height unnecessary. The Model W1723 has a three-knife cutterhead driven by a 3 HP thermally-protected motor and triple V- belts, which also drive infeed and outfeed rollers with a two-speedoil-lubricated gearbox. The Model W1724 has a spiral cutterhead.

The Model W1723 is mounted on an open base and uses three straight knives. The Model W1724 is mounted on a cabinet style base and uses three spiral knives. The spiral knives and cutterhead cut wood with a shearing action, giving the planer quieter operation and smoother cuts with less tear-out on difficult lumber. Since the spiral knives are self-indexing for the correct knife height, manually setting the knives with a jig is a task of the past. Refer to Specifications on Page
