We have updated the look product code of our AW106PT (now TJ-250P); however, be assured that all the specifications of this machine are the same as those of our tried-and-tested AW106PT.
This machine is an economy version of a European-style planer/thicknesser, and it is a real space saver in the workshop. It features flip-up tables for conversion to thicknesser mode, and the tables have noise-dampening slots to help minimize noise while machining. Along with urethane rollers, a serrated steel infeed roller on the infeed side is standard. The European-style alloy cutterhead guard allows you access to the timber when being planed while still using your push blocks for maximum safety.
As with all machines of this type, we highly recommend that at least a 2HP dust collector be paired with the planer/thicknesser. This will increase the machine's efficiency and minimise dust and shavings that need to be collected after machining the timber has stopped.
The 3-knife straight cutterhead features HSS knives that can be easily removed and sharpened. A spare pair of blades should always be on hand so you can swap them out, sharpen the old blades and replace them with your spare set. This reduces downtime and increases productivity.
