The South Bend SB1118 is a large-capacity industrial planer built for high-volume woodworking. It handles stock up to 25 inches wide and 9 inches thick, powered by a 15 HP motor for demanding production environments.
Its 6-row helical cutterhead uses 174 indexable carbide inserts to create a shearing cut that helps produce a smoother surface, reduce tearout, and improve results on figured woods. Variable feed speed and digital table height controls with presets make it easy to fine-tune cuts for both repeat work and changing material.
This machine is well suited for professional shops, cabinet makers, millwork operations, and other serious woodworkers who need consistent performance on large stock. Heavy cast-iron tables, pedestal-mounted controls, and precise height adjustment support efficient day-to-day use in busy commercial settings.
