iTECH 260SS SUPER SPIRAL PLANER THICKNESSER: Walk-through

This proven designed planer & thicknesser has the latest 6 helix Super-Spiral cutter block which makes it very quiet and gives a superb finish on difficult grain timber where conventional cutter blocks would tear the grain. More Knives = More Cuts/ cm = Better finish.
It is especially suited to the small trade workshop or discerning home user. Constructed from cast iron and heavy gauge welded steel, it is robust and has some features that set it apart from the competition. The cast iron surfacing tables are heavily ribbed underneath to maintain flatness and, unusually, both tables are counterbalanced and linked to lift as one unit and have a safety stop latch to hold them securely when thicknessing. Another popular feature on this machine is the fence simplicity: no need to remove it when changing from surface planing to thicknessing.
Why Choose a Spiral Planer?
More Knives = Better finish: you will get a smoother finish with a longer life from the 4 sided solid TC cutters, More Knives = Less noise: each blade is moving less air and taking a smaller cut
More Knives = Improved efficiency each cut uses less energy
The question is, why wouldn't you go spiral?
The 260SS has the highest in-class 66 tungsten knives. These can be rotated 4 times when they get dull. Having a higher knife count also reduced wear on the blades and less power requirement - longer life - less energy is needed per cut. Because the cuts are smaller you will get a better surface finish.
Features:
Digital read out to thicknesser table
Extra power! With a 2kw motor
Spiral planer block with 66 Knives for Super Smooth finish - more than many competitor machines for a better finish and less motor strain
Low noise level - even with a larger motor power than many competitor machines
Fast change over from surface planing to thickness mode with the 'Linked Tables'
Fence Stays on the machine when swapping functions.
Every machine is PDI checked in our factory prior to delivery.
