Thicknesser - Helical Cutter Head - T-406S

The HAFCO Woodmaster T-406S thicknesser is an industrial quality 406mm (16”) machine that comes standard with a helical cutter head. The advantage of a helical cutter head is its spiral shearing action with the workpiece, this translates into a smoother surface finish with less chipping and tear out of the workpiece, as well as a quieter operation compared to the very loud chopping effect produced by a traditional HSS blade cutter-head.

The helical cutter head includes 80 tungsten carbide inserts, not only giving you a superior finish but when maintenance is required just simply index or replace blunt or damaged inserts meaning there is no fiddly height setting to be carried out. The cutter head is supported by 4 x solid pillars at each corner giving you a ridged & accurate machine. The T-406S has a two-speed gearbox with a feed rate of 3.9 or 4.9mpm and the steel drive roller have ribbing to ensure positive grip on the timber through the machine. The digital depth indicator will help ensure you are removing the precise amount of material each cut. Power is provided by a heavy duty 2200W / 3HP 240V induction motor, housed within the base and transmitting power to the cutter block via a twin pulley vee belt drive system.

Overall, the HAFCO Woodmaster T-406S Thicknesser offers accuracy & precision along with high quality finish to your next woodworking project.
