After a discussion with other members of the woodworking team it has been decided that we need to replace the curent Thicknesser which spare parts are no longer available and is not cutting at all well. The main benefit of this Thicknesser is that if one of the small blades gets damaged you can turn the indervidual blade several times before having to replace it. We also have a large number of people wanting Planer Thicknesser induction which can not be done as the Thicknesser of the Planer is broken and needs a new part milling and fitting. At least with the new Thicknesser we can catch up with said Planer induction by using the new thicknesser as part of the induction process. The selected model we are aiming for is as follows and currently costs £599.99
Lumberjack PRO SERIES Thicknesser With Helical Cutter Spiral Head, Portable Bench Top Machine
The PT330H comes with a pre built helical cutter head, holding 30 individual blades.
Achieve the smoothest, most consistent finishes you will ever see.
The spiral configuration means that less noise is created, taking smaller cuts. Helical cutters provide a greater blade life, lasting up to 20 times longer than a HSS blade and creates more efficiency all around, saving you money and time.
The 1500W quality motor can handle timber of up to 330mm wide and 152mm in thickness, with a no load speed of 8500RPM.
Our PRO SERIES Thicknesser is a no brainer for your workshop, it is a must for the most efficient cuts a machine of this sort can perform without the large space area being needed.
Features
- 1500W Motor giving Ample power, yet still runs on a normal 13 amp plug.
- Low Noise Operation, Helical Cutter Block.
- High-Quality Surface Finish, 30 Tungsten Carbide Cutters.
- 330mm x 152mm (WxH) Thicknessing Capacity With Powered Feed rollers.
- Large fully polished table aids smooth feed of timber.
Advantages of helical cutters over conventional knives:
- Shearing Cut = Better finish. Expect a smoother finish in softwood, hardwood and difficult grain.
- Low Sound Levels = Less noise by up to 50%. Each blade is moving less air and taking a smaller cut.
- More Knives = Reduced energy consumption. Each cut uses less energy, overall saving can be 30%.
- TC (Tungsten carbide) Cutters = longer cutter life, up to 10 times compared to HSS. Each cutter can be rotated when worn.
- Less Maintenance = Quick and easy to change out 1 or 2 cutters after a chip.
