Grizzly Industrial is recalling about 2,300 of its G0815 15-inch 3HP heavy-duty planers because the internal chip breaker can strike the rotating cutterhead blades. This defect can cause metal debris to be ejected from the machine at high speeds, posing impact and laceration risks to users and bystanders. Seven reports of broken rotating cutters have been received, though no injuries have been reported yet. These green metal planers were sold nationwide at hardware stores and online at sites like Grizzly.com and HomeDepot.com from June 2016 through September 2025.
The chip breaker may contact the moving cutterhead blades during operation, causing the blades to break and eject metal shards from the planer. This creates a high-speed projectile hazard that can cause severe impact or laceration injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled planers and contact Grizzly Industrial for a free repair kit and installation instructions. The repair kit consists of an upgraded chip breaker adjustment rod, spacer, set screws, lock washers, and lock nuts.
Measures 32 inches wide, 28 inches deep and 23.5 inches high.
