2. General Machine Description
The Hoffmann BH 556 Lipping Planer is a handheld planing machine. It is designed solely for flush planing of
applied solid wood and laminate edges.
The machine can be used on solid hard and softwood edges as well as veneer and laminate edgebanding
materials.
Depending on the material being planed and the feed rate, up to 3mm = 1/8” material can be removed in one
pass.
The machine uses the panel surface as reference for the planing operation, which explains why imperfections,
high or low spots, etc. in the panel could adversely effect the planing result. Unsatisfactory results due to poor
panel surfaces, insufficient preparation or improper operation are not covered under our warranty and are not
grounds for replacement or refund.
