KD410

Precision cutting with versatile knife options

The KD410 comes equipped with a standard cutter block featuring three high-quality, resharpenable blades. This design not only extends the lifespan of the blades but also ensures long-term cost savings, as you can easily resharpen them when needed. Included with the machine is a complete assembly kit, making blade changes straightforward. To simplify the process even further, our specialized magnetic alignment tool ensures the blades are perfectly positioned along the axis, guaranteeing precise results with minimal effort. For those seeking even greater convenience, we offer Tersa and Spiral knife systems as advanced options. These knives are designed to self-regulate, removing the need for manual adjustments. The Tersa knives allow for quick, tool-free blade changes, while the Spiral knives deliver superior cutting efficiency, producing smoother finishes and quieter operation. Both options offer time-saving advantages, making them ideal for professionals focused on precision and productivity. This flexibility in knife choices ensures that the KD 410 caters to a wide range of needs, from cost-conscious resharpenable blades to high-performance self-aligning systems.

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

The 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.

Infeed Roller with Convenient Handle Activation

The machine comes equipped with an infeed roller that can be easily started using a handle, providing smooth and controlled feeding of materials. The roller operates at a consistent speed of 6 meters per minute, ensuring steady material flow for precise planing and thicknessing results.

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.

Integrated Ruler for Accurate Table Height Measurement

To ensure precise adjustments, the thicknesser features an attached ruler that allows you to easily measure the height of the table. This simple yet effective tool ensures accuracy when setting the table height, giving you full control over your planing and thicknessing operations.

Optional single-phase motor for added flexibility

For workshops without access to a 3-phase 400V power supply, the KD410 offers an optional single-phase motor. Like all machines in our Essential line, this flexibility ensures that users in various environments can still benefit from Robland’s professional-grade woodworking machines. It's important to note that the single-phase motor is rated at 2.2 kW, compared to the standard 4.4 kW motor found in the 3-phase version. While this provides a solution for workshops without 3-phase access, the lower power output may affect performance for more demanding tasks or thicker materials. However, for lighter to moderate workloads, this option is ideal for ensuring accessibility and performance in smaller or home-based shops.

Handwheel with analogue readout for faster, more precise adjustments

An additional upgrade for the KD410 is the handwheel with analogue readout, designed to enhance both speed and accuracy during operation. This feature allows for quick, fine adjustments to the thicknessing depth, making it easier to achieve precise results without constant recalibration. With a clear, easy-to-read analogue display, the handwheel ensures that operators can make exact, repeatable adjustments, helping you work more efficiently and with greater control. Ideal for professionals who prioritize both speed and precision in their workflow, this option is perfect for streamlining repetitive tasks while ensuring top-quality finishes every time.

Wheelset for effortless mobility

For added convenience, the KD410 can be equipped with an optional wheelset, making it incredibly easy to transport within your workshop. While the machine already boasts a compact footprint, this feature allows you to quickly and effortlessly move it, even into tight spaces or against a wall when not in use. This is particularly useful for smaller workshops where space is at a premium, allowing you to rearrange your workspace as needed without heavy lifting. The wheelset option adds a new level of flexibility, ensuring that the KD410 fits seamlessly into your workflow and storage solutions.

Extra Support Roller for Enhanced Workpiece Handling

For added convenience when working with longer or larger workpieces, the machine can be fitted with an extra support roller. Featuring a cylindrical roller and ball bearings, this accessory provides essential support, particularly when wood exits the thicknesser or during planing. It ensures smoother handling and stability, helping you maintain control and precision in your work.

Magnetic Knife Setting Tool: Precision Placement for Standard Knives

An optional accessory for your machine, this set of magnets helps precisely position your planer knives. Designed for a specific axis diameter, these magnets make the installation of standard knives quick and accurate. However, if you’re using Tersa or spiral knives, this tool isn’t necessary, as those knives automatically position themselves for perfect alignment.

Universal Knife Positioning Tool: Versatile Knife Setup Across Machines

We also offer a universal knife positioning tool, designed to work with cutter blocks of various diameters. This versatile tool is compatible with all our planer-thicknesser combination machines and our latest planers that feature openable tables. It provides precise knife placement but requires a bit more space than magnetic tools, making it unsuitable for planers without openable tables.
