HAZARD
Motor gets hot
An economy version of a European style planer/thicknesser. A real space
saver in the workshop. Features flip-up tables for conversion to thicknesser.
Tables have noise-dampening slots. Serrated steel infeed roller is standard.
Comes with spiral cutter head.
Spiral cutterheads revolutionise your woodwork! Offering silent cutting as
well as less chatter and tear-out in curly or highly figured wood, these
cutterheads save hours of cleanup work after dressing timber. This
machine's 64 four-sided cutter knives (which can be turned to offer a new
cutting edge in seconds) are made of fine grain tungsten carbide and are
held in place by a Torx style screw. Knives of this type last three to five
times longer than good quality HSS knives. Multiply this by four cutting
edges and you achieve 12 to 20 times the normal blade life of a HSS blade
set.
Easily turned and seated, they present a fully sharpened and indexed
cutting edge. No complex blade setting or jigs are required - you simply
replace the blade when all four edges have been used. This style of
cutterhead also reduces the size of shavings when cutting, increasing the
effectiveness of your dust collection setup. The size of the knife and the
spiral cutting action also reduce the amount of horsepower needed to drive
the machine, translating into more effective power transmission on each
cut revolution.
