Shop Fox’s W1741S 8” Jointer features a spiral cutterhead with 40 German-made carbide inserts that are automatically indexed. With this convenience, tedious knife-setting tasks are a thing of the past; each insert has four sharp edges. When it dulls, simply loosen a screw and turn the insert 90° to a fresh edge, then retighten.
The jointer has parallelogram-style tables for stability, a single-phase 3hp motor and a built-in mobile base. The machine’s cast-iron fence bevels left and right up to 45°. It produces 21,400 cuts per minute, with an 8” maximum width of cut, 1/8” maximum depth of cut and a rabbeting capacity of 5/8”.
The street price for the W1741S is $1,685. Visit woodstockint.com to learn more about it.
