Product Description The Charnwood W588 8" x 5" Bench Top Planer Thicknesser is a compact and portable Machine. 8'' Planing Capacity 8'' x 5'' Thicknessing Capacity Aluminium Tables To Minimise Weight Extruded Guide Fence For Accuracy Tilting Fence With Twin Guides Rubber Coated Feed Rollers 100mm Diameter Chip Extraction Outlet Light enough to move off the bench when not in use and yet tough enough to produce 8" x 5" timber into flat and dimensioned pieces. The planing beds are precision ground aluminium and the guide fence is a rigid aluminium extrusion which can be tilted and locked at any angle up to 45 degrees when required. The steel thicknessing bed has an extension arm on the outfeed side and is supported in each corner by chain driven adjusting screws. Once the height is set, rubber coated feed rollers pass the timber through the high speed cutterblock leaving a beautiful finish with no roller marks. The dust hood is particularly good, fitting onto the thicknessing bed during planing operations and then moved over the top when thicknessing. As a safety feature a location sensor detects that the dust hood has been correctly fitted before allowing the motor to run.
