More Details
Main highlights
- VERSATILE FLIP DUST HOOD - Flip it up and let the sawdust naturally blow out the back or flip it down to attach a dust collector for optimal chip removal.
- TWO-SIDED INSERTS - Two-sided inserts sit in perfect alignment to the spiral cutterhead. Non-cutting edge designed to prevent insert from skewing while planing. The precision is superior to 4-sided inserts.
- SNIPE MINIMIZER - Cutech's 4 lead screws and patented coupling design automatically minimizes snipe. No need for the additional snipe lock to get the same results.
- REPEAT CUT DEPTH STOP - Comprehensive 8 positions Depth Stop for ease of thicknessing a batch of board to the same size.
- DEPTH OF CUT INDICATOR - Handy scale on the front of the planer shows the amount to be taken off in the next planing.
- CUTECH SPIRAL CUTTERHEAD - Cutterhead with 6 rows that holds staggered inserts for a smooth finish. The spiral cutterhead is known for its reduced noise levels and smoother finishes, making it ideal for beginners who want professional results without frustration. The design of the cutterhead along with the use of in-house made inserts make cuts with the lowest amp draw compared to others.
- BOARD RETURN ROLLERS - Send boards back to the front for the next planing with the newly added rollers on top of the machine.
- 2-SPEED FEED RATE - Tackling a project with hardwood or figured wood is easy with the 2-speed lever. Avoid tearout by slowing down the feed rate to 16-fpm and watch boards come out effortlessly smooth.
