Affected products
This recall involves all Grizzly Industrial 15" 3HP heavy-duty planers with model number G0815. The G0815 15" Planer is used to smooth and flatten boards and to ensure consistent thickness across their entire surface. The planer measures 32 inches wide, 28 inches deep and 23.5 inches high. The Grizzly Industrial planers have "grizzly.com" and the model number "G0815" printed on the front of the planer. Sold at: Bibb Tool & Cutter, Hamilton Tool and Supply, PMC Tool Company and Stoll Brothers Lumber stores and other hardware stores nationwide and online at Grizzly.com, HomeDepot.com, Tractor Supply.com and MaxTool.com and other websites from June 2016 through September 2025 for between $900 and $2,400.

The risk
The chip breaker can contact the cutterhead blades during use, which can cause debris to be ejected from the planer, posing impact and laceration hazards to the user and bystander. Grizzly Industrial has received seven reports of the rotating cutters of the planers breaking. No injuries have been reported.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled planers and contact Grizzly Industrial for a free repair kit and installation instructions.
