Quick changeover: Tersa cutter block

The thicknesser can be equipped with a Tersa cutter block, allowing for rapid and easy knife changes. This is especially beneficial for users working with a variety of materials, as it ensures you can always use the correct knife for the specific wood, resulting in superior cutting performance and significantly extending the lifespan of your tools. The Tersa system simplifies the process: just tap the clamp to release the knives, pull them out, insert the new set, and start the machine. The centrifugal force automatically locks the knives in place, eliminating the need for manual tuning or adjustments afterward.

Hardwood silent power: Spiral cutter block

he thicknesser can also be equipped with an optional spiral cutter block, designed for a smoother and quieter woodworking experience. This innovative cutter block features a series of small, rectangular knives arranged in a spiral pattern, ensuring that each knife works incrementally for a fluent and efficient cutting process. The result is a significant reduction in noise and a finer finish on hardwoods. However, the spiral cutter block is not recommended for softwoods like pine, due to two key factors : Resin Content: Softwoods tend to have higher resin levels, which can clog and affect the cutter block’s performance. Fibrous Texture: The fibrous nature of softwoods like pine can lead to tearing or fuzzing, reducing the overall finish quality. For those primarily working with hardwoods, the spiral cutter block is an excellent upgrade, offering enhanced performance and a superior finish.

Precise electrical movement for effortless adjustments

The D510 comes standard with electrical movement of the thicknesser table, providing precise control for even the most demanding tasks. This feature is measured with a Siko counter, built directly into the handwheel, allowing for fine adjustments with ease. For even greater accuracy, the motor is equipped with pulse control, similar to our SD series. This means that with just a quick push of the button, you can achieve small, incremental adjustments, making it ideal for fine-tuning your thicknessing without wasting time on manual adjustments. This combination of electrical precision and ease-of-use ensures that your work stays efficient and accurate, no matter how demanding the project.

Dual feed speed regulation for optimal control

The D510 offers two feed speed settings to adapt to different tasks with ease. The feeder rollers can be adjusted to run at either 8 m/min or 16 m/min, giving you the flexibility to choose between speed and precision. If speed is critical, the 16 m/min setting allows you to move through projects quickly without compromising too much on quality. However, when surface quality is the priority, the 8 m/min setting slows down the process to ensure a smoother, more precise finish. This dual-speed control lets you balance productivity with quality, depending on the specific demands of your work.

Easy maintenance with integrated safety features

The D510 is designed with convenient maintenance in mind. The top of the machine can be easily opened, allowing quick access to the knives for cleaning or replacement. However, safety remains a top priority. The machine is equipped with a mechanical stop, which requires a 10-second turn—the maximum time needed for the knives to come to a complete stop. This ensures that no maintenance can begin until the blades are fully stationary, providing an added layer of protection for the operator. Additionally, the hood doubles as a dust extraction unit, maintaining a cleaner workspace and reducing the buildup of debris inside the machine. This combination of ease, safety, and efficiency ensures that regular maintenance is not only simple but also safe, keeping your D510 in peak working condition for years to come.

Precision Setup and Unparalleled Quality

At Robland, every machine is meticulously set up in our factory to ensure superior performance. The tables are precisely calibrated to be perfectly parallel, and the knives are carefully aligned with the table for accurate, flawless results. Since we manufacture and assemble the components ourselves, we can guarantee the highest quality and attention to detail, delivering a machine that exceeds industry standards and ensures long-term reliability.

Factory-set downpressers for superior results

The D510 is equipped with factory-set downpressers, positioned before the cutter block, ensuring optimal material handling during the thicknessing process. After extensive research, we've fine-tuned these downpressers to apply the perfect amount of pressure before the material reaches the cutter block, maintaining stability and alignment for smoother, more precise cuts. This factory setting guarantees consistent, high-quality results without the need for manual adjustments, making it easier to achieve professional-grade finishes on even the toughest materials.

Safety catches for added protection

The D510 features safety catches, an essential safety mechanism designed to engage only in the event of a kickback. These catches are inactive during regular operation but quickly activate when needed, holding the wood in place and preventing it from being thrown back toward the operator. This additional safety feature ensures a secure working environment, giving you peace of mind while using the D510 for heavy-duty tasks. The safety catches provide reliable protection without interfering with the machine's performance, allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
