Combination Planer/Thicknesser

This light industrial rated Combination Planer/Thicknesser is designed for serious woodworking tasks, providing both planing and thicknessing capabilities in one robust machine. Constructed mainly from cast iron, it offers stability and precision, making it ideal for achieving accurate and smooth finishes on wood.

Key Features

• Dual Functionality: Serves as both a planer and a thicknesser, allowing users to plane wood to the correct width and thickness, and remove twists, cups, and bows.
• Heavy Duty Construction: Made from cast iron for durability and vibration dampening, ensuring a clean finish.
• Helical Head Cutter Block: Features 72 individual cutters arranged in a helical spiral for a smooth finish, especially on cross-grained wood. Cutters have 4 cutting edges each and can be rotated when blunt or damaged.
• Adjustable Infeed and Outfeed Rollers: Can be deactivated during surfacing to reduce wear and increase power to the cutterhead.
• Aluminium Tilting Fence: Adjustable from 0° to 45° for exceptional accuracy and stability.
• Dust Extraction Hood: Positioned under the table for surfacing and swings upward for thicknessing. Must be used with a dust collector.
• Safety Features: Fitted with electrical safety switches to prevent accidental starting without the dust extraction hood in place. Anti-kickback fingers enhance safety during thicknessing.
• Independent Table Adjustment: Ensures that both top tables remain co-planer.
• Locking Lever: Ensures stability in the thickness setting of the thicknessing table.
