Sherwood 13in Benchtop Pro Thicknesser with Straight Cutterhead 1800W

The Sherwood 13in Pro Thicknesser is a compact powerhouse engineered for production-grade thicknessing, delivering commercial-grade results with a straight blade system.

Designed for serious production environments, this premium thicknesser combines heavy-duty construction, precise engineering, and superior material handling to deliver exceptional stock preparation. The 13in Benchtop Pro Thicknesser is purpose-built for stock preparation in applications demanding tight dimensional tolerances, such as cabinetry, architectural joinery, musical instrument fabrication, and engineered timber flooring. Designed to integrate with automated infeed/outfeed systems, in-line jointer/thicknesser setups, and CNC workflows, it delivers exceptional surface quality and accuracy across a wide range of hardwoods, exotic species, and composite materials.

Industrial-Grade Feed & Elevation System

A powerful 1800W motor controls a dual-speed gearbox with selectable feed rates of 4 or 7 meters per minute, allowing operators to switch between fine surface finishing and faster material removal. The gearbox is oil-lubricated and fully sealed for long-term reliability and smooth operation.

Its robust chain-and-sprocket drive system includes hardened steel gears and a multi-spline cutterhead shaft, ensuring even power delivery under load. Supporting this is a 4-post synchronized screw-lift mechanism with a 4.25:1 worm-drive reduction, maintaining precise bed parallelism during operation a critical factor in delivering uniform thicknessing results.

Premium Material Handling Components

To ensure smooth material handling, the Sherwood Pro Thicknesser features polyurethane-coated infeed and outfeed rollers that maintain consistent stock feed while protecting delicate surfaces from marring. The roller setup delivers accurate tracking even with irregular grain or dense timbers.

To minimize snipe, the machine incorporates independently tensioned, spring-loaded pressure rollers that adapt to material variation while maintaining constant downward force. Combined with fold-out, steel-reinforced infeed and outfeed tables, this setup reduces stock deflection and enhances finish quality on longer boards.

In-Built Dust Impeller

The Sherwood Pro Thicknesser is equipped with a built-in dust impeller that ensures direct chip ejection, improving cutterhead visibility and preventing clogging during extended use. It connects seamlessly to standard 4in extraction systems. An included dust collection bag can also be attached.
