Northfield #8 Surfacer equipped with a reverse rotation helical carbide cutterhead. Note reversed position of dust stack and knife grinder

The reverse rotation cutterhead allows thinner plastic material (such as UHMW cutting boards) to be planed without the cutterhead lifting the leading of the workpiece and shattering it
