Thicknessing is the toughest task in most shops and needs a strong machine. These machines are built to last, and have been proven in serious home workshops across the country.

  • Table has solid cast iron extensions (not flimsy outrigger rollers)
  • Two adjustable rollers in the table prevent hesitation in the feed and marking of the work. Less sanding!
  • A full 200mm working height - many lookalike machines stop at 150mm
  • Table adjustment by four heavy square threaded shafts running inside precision ground 48mm steel columns
  • Two speed gearbox with automatic chain tensioner. High speed for gauging; slow speed for fine finishing
  • Internal wheel set is standard - you can move the machine around easily, but you won’t trip when working

Some assembly required.

Chromed steel infeed and outfeed rollers

Strong steel anti-kickback fingers to protect the operator. Spiral toothed infeed roller ensuring the grip is never relaxed. Spring loaded infeed pressure bar prevents bouncing and vibration. Smooth steel outfeed roller, for a flawless finish. No rubber or neoprene coating to get damaged and worn.

Large extraction hood to improve extraction

The dust port is angled to side, giving efficient chip removal and keeping ducting clear of the work return rollers.

Digital readout as standard

Jacks includes digital height display as standard. No more messing around with test pieces because you can't read the lineal scale accurately. The digital display provides repeatable accuracy to 0.1mm.

Numerical setting is quick and accurate - great for jobbing work which has to match existing material.

Simple and accurate adjustment

Two adjustable, eccentrically mounted table rollers are positioned directly below the driven infeed and outfeed rollers. Downward pressure from feed rollers is directed onto the table rollers, not the table.

This minimises friction and hesitation in the feed, especially when processing heavy, green or resinous timber. An even feed gives an even surface quality and less sanding. Machines without table rollers (or with just one) should be avoided.
