Startrite Planer Thicknessers

THIS EASY TO USE PLANER THICKNESSER IS IDEAL FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL USE OR EVEN A KEEN
HOME ENTHUSIAST.

The SD300 is driven by a 3hp induction motor and has all the industrial features you would expect and a few you may not at this price level. The surfacing tables are cast iron, heavily ribbed for strength and a generous 1400mm to make straightening long timbers an easier job. Adjustments to cutting depth are made with a simple to operate lever and large easy to read scale. Changeover to thicknessing is also quick and easy, only the outfeed table needs to be lifted with no need to remove the fence, the dust chute flips over and you are ready to thickness on the large cast iron thicknessing table which is supported by a heavy central column and raised smoothly with a
large handwheel.
The 70mm block has three knives to allow faster feed speeds and provide a good quality finish. Anti kickback fingers protect the user as the knurled steel infeed roller drives timber easily into the block. The outfeed roller has a heavy rubber sleeve to protect the newly
planed surface.
What you may not expect to find is the large cast iron fence, so important for accurate surface planing. This fence, which tilts to 45º and is quickly and easily reset to 90º with the aid of an adjustable stop, is mounted on a thick steel bar which in turn is mounted in another substantial cast iron mount.

THE HEAVIEST MACHINE IN ITS CLASS

The FS32 planer thicknesser is a compact machine but with heavy duty construction, designed for the professional workshop. With a weight of 350kg Is by far the heaviest planer in the 320mm class. It has a massive cutter block of 100mm with 3 knives and a feed speed of 8m/min. The 1500mm tables open parallel and within the width of the machine making it easy to walk around when thicknessing. Finally the fence a vital part of any planer and often a skimped after thought is very substantial and the best on the market for this size of machine. To make the transformation to thicknessing; the planing tables lift back with little effort and without having to remove the fence assembly.
