The multifunction planer is an incredibly versatile machine that goes far beyond simply planing boards. This advanced tool offers up to four distinct functions, making it an invaluable addition to any workshop or renovation project. At its core, the multifunction planer operates as a high-quality planer, deftly smoothing out rough edges and ensuring your boards are of uniform thickness.
However, its capabilities do not stop there. After achieving that initial smooth finish, you can utilize the machine as a drum sander. This function grants your wood a polished, sleek appearance, perfect for any woodworking project where aesthetics are paramount.
But the versatility continues. When you're ready to cut your boards to size, simply switch to the gang saw head. This feature allows you to rip through multiple pieces of wood simultaneously, enhancing both efficiency and precision.
It’s the perfect solution for projects requiring consistent dimensions across several boards. Finally, the multifunction planer doesn’t stop at cutting and smoothing. With a simple swap to the molding head, you can craft exquisite trim and molding to elevate the overall design of your woodworking ventures.
Whether you're looking to create crown molding, baseboards, or custom trim, this machine provides the tools needed to achieve professional-quality results. Moreover, for those looking to enhance functionality even further, we offer special modifications. Our diamond heads can be included for added durability and precision, making them ideal for tougher materials.
Additionally, for users working with glass-epoxy composite materials, we provide special controls that optimize the machine’s performance for these unique substances. In essence, the multifunction planer truly proves its worth by combining a range of capabilities into one compact machine. It saves time, money, and space while delivering exceptional results, making it the go-to choice for woodworkers and craftsmen alike.

THE FUNCTIONS
PLANER
Now you can have the satisfaction of knowing you have done everything you can from start to finish to make each of your woodworking projects their very best. Use the HAWK MultiFUNCTION Planer to finish your own lumber; turning rough-cut stock into precision-milled lumber in just minutes.
Buy your own rough cut lumber direct from the saw mill, then surface it yourself and pocket the savings. You will be able to use the best lumber for a fraction of the cost. Save 50% or more on the lumber for your projects.
You determine the perfect piece for your project and then you cut and finish it yourself by just dialing in the exact dimensions needed.
Spiral Head
You will have finished lumber you will be proud of from the Multi-Function Planer. Now sold only with our helical cutter head, which uses 1/2” square micro-carbide inserts to ensure a MUCH smoother finish.
GANG SAW
Now that you have your lumber at the proper thickness, you can remove the planer head and insert the gang saw head in just a couple of minutes.
The steps are simple and easy to follow:
1) Remove the top cover
2) Undo the two bolts on top of each bearing mount
3) Remove the top of the bearing mounts
4) Remove the Planer head
5) Place in the Gang Saw head
6) Put everything back together
With this attachment you can rip your lumber to width. It will allow you to rip the exact width repeatedly and quickly without the problems of holding the lumber against a table saw fence.
MOLDER
Once again you can remove your head and insert the custom molding knife head in just a few minutes. Whether you plan to make moldings and picture frames for your own use or start your own commercial production shop, the HAWK MultiFUNCTION Planer is the right tool for the job. Then, with one pass, you will have the molding of your choice.
You will no longer be limited to what your local lumber yard stocks.

With the HAWK MultiFUNCTION Planer, you can start your own successful business in which you design and create your own custom moldings or recreate historic antique moldings.
We can also supply custom molding knives upon request. All custom molding knives must be paid for before the knife is cut and are non-refundable. Knives are priced per knife, gibs and balances are included.
Knife orders usually take one to two weeks after they are paid for.
