Hardwood silent power: Spiral cutter block

The planer 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.

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.

Innovative 3D-Printed Planing Inserts

Our planing inserts are now produced using 3D printing, allowing us to optimize their design for better performance. These new inserts are engineered to reduce noise during operation, creating a quieter and more comfortable working environment. Printed with a small inclination, the inserts are designed to never interfere with the planing process while still fulfilling their essential safety function. This modern production method enhances both the efficiency and safety of the machine, ensuring a smoother and quieter experience.
