Quick changeover: Tersa cutter block

The S510 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 S510 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.

Stronger planer fence for ultimate stability and ease of use

The planer fence on the S510 is designed for maximum strength and stability, a key upgrade over the lighter fences in smaller models. Moving on a round bar instead of a traditional square guide, the fence’s centralized mounting provides smoother, more effortless movement despite its heavier construction. This design also minimizes momentum during adjustments, making the fence exceptionally stable when locked in position, ensuring precision even during intensive planing tasks. For added versatility, the fence can be easily adjusted to 45° or 90°, with physical end stops that are factory-set by our professionals. These end stops ensure absolute accuracy, locking the fence securely in position without the need for recalibration. Whether you're working at a perfect 90° or making bevel cuts at 45°, the S510's stronger planer fence delivers consistent, high-quality results with ease and stability.

Planer Protection for Enhanced Safety

The planer protection is designed with safety in mind, preventing your hands from coming into contact with the knives during planing operations. Both the height and width of the protection can be easily adjusted to accommodate various workpiece sizes, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment without compromising on accessibility.

Adjustable Chip Removal for Optimized Speed and Precision

The planer allows you to easily adjust the chip removal depth, giving you control over the balance between speed and accuracy. The finer the setting, the more precise the work—but with a slight reduction in speed. Finding the right balance is key, and for most operations, we recommend a maximum chip removal of 4mm. This flexibility lets you tailor the machine to your specific project needs, ensuring optimal performance every time.

Future-ready with advanced planing inserts

In our larger planers, we continue to use the aluminum planing inserts that have long provided reliable performance. However, as we innovate, these inserts will soon be replaced by newer 3D-printed versions once the current stock is depleted. The transition to 3D-printed inserts reflects our commitment to continually improving both precision and durability, ensuring even better results in future models.

Foldable Planer Protection: Space-Saving Safety

Our foldable planer protection offers reliable safety while saving valuable space in your workshop. When not in use, the protection easily folds away, preventing it from protruding to the side, allowing for a more compact setup without compromising on safety.

Auxiliary Planing Fence: Enhanced Safety for Narrow Workpieces

Upgrade your planing fence with our auxiliary fence, specifically designed for planing narrow pieces. This foldable attachment provides a smaller fence for better control, allowing you to keep your hands further away from the planer knives. It’s an essential safety upgrade—because safety is something you should never compromise on.

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.
