Laguna Tools PX|16 SHEARTEC II Planer 5HP 220V 1PH
Product Overview
The Laguna Tools PX|16 SHEARTEC II Planer 5HP 220V 1PH is a heavy-duty thickness planer designed for woodworking shops that need reliable stock removal, accurate thicknessing, and a clean finished surface. Its 16-inch planing capacity provides enough width for many furniture, cabinetry, and general woodworking applications, while the 5 HP motor supplies the power needed for demanding hardwood work.
The machine features Laguna's SHEARTEC II cutterhead, which uses replaceable carbide inserts arranged to create a shearing-style cut. This cutterhead design combines efficient material removal with convenient cutter maintenance, making the PX|16 a practical choice for professional and serious woodworking environments.
Key Features
5 HP motor provides substantial power for demanding planing and dimensioning tasks.
220V single-phase operation is designed for shops with compatible electrical service.
16-inch maximum planing width accommodates a broad range of solid-wood boards and components.
SHEARTEC II cutterhead uses replaceable carbide inserts for efficient cutting performance.
Shearing-style cutting action helps produce a clean surface and can reduce tear-out.
Rotatable carbide inserts provide multiple usable cutting edges before replacement is required.
Powered feed system moves stock consistently through the cutterhead.
Adjustable feed rate provides control over production speed and surface finish.
Heavy-duty construction provides a rigid platform for demanding woodworking applications.
Dust-collection connection allows integration with a suitable dust-extraction system.
Production-oriented design makes the machine suitable for furniture, cabinetmaking, and general lumber preparation.
SHEARTEC II Cutterhead
The SHEARTEC II cutterhead replaces conventional long planer knives with multiple small carbide inserts. These inserts are positioned to create a shearing action as they contact the wood.
This cutting approach is designed to provide a smoother machining result and can help reduce tear-out when working with figured, interlocked, or difficult grain. It also simplifies maintenance because individual inserts can be rotated to expose a fresh cutting edge or replaced separately when necessary.
5 HP Motor and 220V Operation
The PX|16 is equipped with a 5 HP motor, giving it substantial power for dimensioning rough lumber and removing material from hardwood stock. The 220V single-phase configuration makes this model suitable for workshops equipped with an appropriate 220V circuit.
The motor capacity is particularly useful when working with wider boards or making heavier cuts. Operators should select the depth of cut and feed rate according to the species, width, grain direction, moisture content, and condition of the material.
16-Inch Planing Capacity
The 16-inch maximum planing width gives the PX|16 considerably more capacity than many conventional portable or light-duty planers. This allows woodworkers to dimension wider boards while preserving more of the original stock width.
The machine is well suited for preparing:
Furniture components
Cabinet parts
Hardwood boards
Tabletop stock
Shelving material
Rough-sawn lumber
Solid-wood panels
Custom woodworking components
Powered Feed System
The powered feed system is designed to move boards through the cutterhead at a consistent rate. Controlled feeding helps maintain a more uniform surface along the length of the board.
Adjustable feed speed gives the operator additional control over the relationship between productivity and surface quality. A slower feed can be beneficial when working with difficult grain or prioritizing finish quality, while faster settings can improve throughput when taking lighter cuts.

Carbide Insert Maintenance
The SHEARTEC II system is designed to simplify routine cutterhead maintenance. Each carbide insert provides multiple cutting edges. When one edge becomes dull, the insert can be rotated to expose another edge.
If an insert is damaged, the individual cutter can be replaced without replacing the entire cutterhead knife set. This can reduce maintenance time and help keep the planer operating consistently.
Surface Quality
The shearing action of the SHEARTEC II cutterhead is designed to produce an efficient cut while helping minimize tear-out. This can be particularly useful when processing hardwoods with irregular or figured grain.
For optimal results, the operator should choose an appropriate cutting depth and feed rate for the material. Difficult grain patterns generally benefit from lighter cuts and suitable feed settings.
Dust Collection
Planing generates a considerable volume of wood chips and fine dust. The PX|16 is designed to connect to a suitable dust-collection system to remove material from the cutterhead area.
Adequate dust extraction helps keep the machine and surrounding workspace cleaner while supporting efficient operation. Use a dust collector with sufficient capacity and airflow for the planer's requirements.
Ideal Applications
The Laguna Tools PX|16 is suitable for:
Furniture manufacturing
Cabinetmaking
Hardwood dimensioning
Wide-board preparation
Table and countertop components
Rough-sawn lumber processing
Custom woodworking
Professional workshops
Serious hobbyist woodworking
Benefits for Woodworkers
Strong 5 HP Performance
The 5 HP motor provides the power needed for substantial stock removal and demanding hardwood applications.
Practical 16-Inch Capacity
The 16-inch planing width accommodates a broad range of boards and furniture components while remaining more compact than larger industrial planers.
Efficient Shear Cutting
The SHEARTEC II cutterhead uses carbide inserts arranged for a shearing-style cut, helping produce a clean machined surface.
Simplified Cutter Maintenance
Rotatable and replaceable carbide inserts reduce the maintenance involved in keeping the cutterhead sharp and operational.
Consistent Material Feeding
The powered feed system helps move lumber through the planer at a controlled rate, supporting uniform thickness and surface quality.
Why Choose the Laguna Tools PX|16?
The Laguna Tools PX|16 SHEARTEC II Planer 5HP 220V 1PH provides a useful combination of 5 HP power, 16-inch planing capacity, carbide SHEARTEC II cutterhead technology, and powered material feeding.
It is a strong option for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, professional woodworkers, and serious hobbyists who need a substantial thickness planer but do not require the wider capacity of the PX|20 or PX|22. Its single-phase 220V configuration can also be practical for shops that have appropriate 220V service without three-phase power.
Important: This machine requires a properly rated 220V single-phase electrical supply. Installation should comply with local electrical codes and Laguna Tools' requirements. Always use suitable dust collection, inspect lumber before feeding it into the machine, and follow all manufacturer operating and safety instructions.
