Key Benefits

• Experience Unmatched Stability: Unlike many benchtop models, this thicknesser features a four-post winding system. This design ensures the cutterhead moves in perfect harmony, providing superior support and dramatically reducing the chance of snipe for cleaner, more accurate cuts.
• Achieve a Flawless Finish: The two double-sided blades are not only replaceable but can also be slightly offset. This clever feature allows you to eliminate the frustration of a 'knicked' blade line, extending the life of your blades and ensuring a consistently smooth surface on your timber.
• Set Your Cuts with Ease: The handy depth-cutting gauge makes setup simple and fast. You can quickly adjust the cut depth for each pass, allowing you to remove up to 3mm of material at a time (on narrower boards) with confidence and precision.
• Keep Your Workspace Clean: An inbuilt fan and a clever dust chute, which can be mounted for left or right-hand extraction, work together to efficiently move shavings away from the cutterhead. Connecting it to a dust collector ensures your workspace stays clean and your cuts remain clear.
• Work Safely and with Confidence: Your safety is paramount, which is why this machine is fitted with full-width anti-kickback pawls and a No-Volt Release (NVR) switch. These features provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your craftsmanship without worrying about unexpected starts or material kickback.

This thicknesser is designed for the dedicated woodworker who demands precision and reliability for furniture making, cabinetry, and other fine woodworking projects. Whether you're a serious hobbyist setting up a new workshop or a professional needing a portable solution, this machine delivers the performance you need. It gives you the power to transform rough-sawn timber into perfectly dimensioned material, ready for your next creation.
