Axminster Professional AP260SPT Planer Thicknesser with Spiral Cutterblock 230v

The Axminster Professional AP260SPT Spiral Planer Thicknesser will help you achieve a smooth finish while enjoying more efficiency, less noise and a longer machine life.

• This is a planer thicknesser, designed and built to withstand heavy use on a daily basis in any professional workshop. The long cast iron surfacing tables are completely adjustable to the cutter block to avoid sniping. A long, rigid alloy fence with stops at 90° and 45°. supports your work. There is a bracket on the rear of the machine to store the fence when not in use. The tables are hinged independently and latch securely for thicknessing. The thicknessing table adjusts smoothly and a digital height indicator allows for accurate measurement of the cut. Chip extraction is via a hinging flip-over hood which is electrically interlocked for safety. The power feed of 5m/min ensures a smooth, even finish.
• The AP260SPT features a four-row spiral cutter block. This type of block offers numerous advantages compared to standard blocks. It features forty-four, 15mm square solid tungsten cutters arranged in a helical pattern. Each cutter has four edges, each edge lasts over ten times longer than HSS. When the cutters eventually dull, it is a simple matter of rotating them to a fresh edge. Tricky knife changes, sharpening, setting and checking are things of the past. Spiral cutter blocks are notably quieter in use, up to 50% with some timbers. The shear cutting action produces a silky smooth finish without the usual lines across the board. The action saves as much as 30% power reducing strain on the machine and lowering running costs. Extraction is much more efficient because of the even shape and smaller size of the chips.
• N.B. This Machine requires a 16amp supply and it's recommended that a C Type breaker is used, if you are unsure please contact a qualified electrician.

• Single Lift Tables: Save time and effort thanks to the single lift tables. Switch from planing to thicknessing, quickly and easily. Plus, it helps to aid quick and easy set up as the fence can stay in place.
• Spiral Cutter Block: The rigid frame and welded steel chassis aids reduction in vibration for a more comfortable woodworking experience.
• Fine Finish Cast Iron Tables: This ensures flatness and accuracy, each and every time. The high quality materials also help to reduce vibration.
• Large Solid Fence: This handy feature enables timber to be easily squared, saving you time and effort as you work. When surface planing, the long rigid alloy fence supports your work securely. The fence is easily adjustable with stops for 90° and 45°.
• Efficient Extraction Hood: This helps to reduce the amount of dust getting into the air, safeguarding your health and keeping your workshop clean.
• Steel Feed Roller: The high quality roller ensures a long life. It also reduces the amount of maintenance required.
• Digital Height Adjustment Readout: For convenience, this ensures quick and easy adjustment resulting in less downtime.
• Lifting Handles: With the addition of lifting handles, you’ll be able to move the machine around easier and more safely.
