A good machine for a home workshop where there is a need for a medium-sized planer thicknesser. The body and tables are constructed from rigid aluminium castings and the stand from heavy duty steel sheet, all of which give a very solid feel to the machine. The 260mm wide two-blade planer block is driven by a 2.2kW motor and will prove more than adequate for the majority of small home user applications, although a 16 amp supply may prove necessary in those situations where the voltage is on the low side. The generous 3mm maximum cutting depth is useful when cleaning up rough sawn or twisted timber. The cutter block, which rotates at 6500rpm, is fitted with two double-edged disposable knives which can be easily replaced without the need for complicated re-setting of the height. Among the additional features which make this machine such good value for money are a removable outfeed table for easy access to the thicknesser, deep extruded aluminium fence adjustable for angle, full width cutter guard, anti kick-back fingers on the thicknesser feed, no-volt-release switch with emergency stop and a dust hood for extracting from above and below the table.
