The fs 32 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 & a feed speed of 8m/min. The 1500mm tables open parallel & within the width of the machine making it easy to walk around when thicknessing. finally the fence a vital part of any planer & often a skimped after thought is very substantial & the best on the market for this size of machine. To make the transformation to thicknessing; the planing tables lift back with little effort & without having to remove the fence assembly. specification: planing

The mde-f 2 is a vacuum extractor ideal for fine dust producers such as table saws or bandsaws. filtration is below 0.5 microns & the machine has two motors mounted in a metal hood. the mde-f 2 has an 80ltr collection capacity. The metal hood not only gives the necessary protection for use in a busy workshop it is acoustically lined to reduce noise. the large filter size provides good life & maintenance costs are low. powerful enough to run a small system & long hose runs, providing it is airtight & good quality blast gates are used. specifications: filtration: 0.5 micron. airflow: 106 litres per second. capacity: 80 litres. motor: 2 x 1.0kw. weight: 20kg. ...

The sd 320, although at a very attractive price, is a heavily built machine suitable for use in a commercial environment. it surfacing capacity is 320mm & thicknessing capacity 316 x 230mm making it very usable for most joinery work. The tables are 1.5 metres long, essential for successful straightening; they are heavily ribbed & have a fine ground finish. the fence is mounted on a cast iron dovetail & can be pushed back so the tables can be lifted with it in place. The cutter block is 80mm diameter with three knives & fitted in a large cast iron mounting to provide complete rigidity. an extractor hood is built into the machine & doubles for surfacing & thicknessing, it has a 120mm outlet. The whole machine weighs 315kg & is an economic & practical addition to the smaller workshop. specifications: surface planer
