New for 2000, a 10" x 6" planer thicknesser with excellent finishing results and a price tag well below what you would expect to pay. The surfacing beds are manufactured from cast aluminium with extrusions for the fence and cutter guard. A quick action clamp adjusts the guard for varying widths of timber and a finger pressure is fitted to the end to hold the workpiece against the fence during edge planing. The bridge guard can also be quickly adjusted vertically using a hand lever to give the correct height when surface planing. For thicknessing operations the outfeed table is removed to give better access and a hinged guard swings into place over the cutterblock. The thicknessing bed, supported by four precision screwed columns, has a steel cover fitted to provide a together, longer lasting surface and can be set anywhere upto a depth of 150mm. When timber is placed on the bed, drive rollers feed it past the cutter at 5meters per minute reducing the thickness by upto 4mm.

Standard equipment includes a dust hood, which can be fitted below the cutter during planing and above the cutter during thicknessing. Supplied with resharpable HSS planer knives, floorstand, 100mm dust extraction outlet, cable and plug.
