The new PT107 bridges the gap between the highly successful PT260 and the heavy-duty PT300, providing an extremely solid machine and exceptional value. This Planer Thicknesser is perfectly suited to the discerning woodworker who expects professional, reliable performance from a solid and durable machine but doesn?t require the larger capacities of the PT300 or Startrite SD300. A three knife cutter block ensures a consistently fine, even finish to all stock. Heavy duty cast iron tables give this machine a degree of accuracy not found elsewhere on machines of this capacity or price bracket - the infeed table is easily and accurately adjusted using the robust lever and clear depth scale. In addition, the PT107 also boasts an outfeed table adjustment facility, meaning truly exact calibration can be achieved to ensure superior accuracy when planing. For easy, rapid conversion to thicknessing mode, the hood is a large, steel one-piece swinging design. The thicknessing table is supported by a substantial central column, giving plenty of support to even the heaviest workpieces. To aid the thicknessing of particularly difficult stock, a clutch is provided on the thicknessing feed to allow removal of stock if jamming occurs. This also means that the thicknesser can be disengaged when not in use to save wear and tear on internal parts.

The PT300 has ribbed cast iron surfacing tables and a cast iron thicknessing table. The machine is housed in a heavy steel frame for rigidity and stability and has a 3hp induction motor to provide plenty of power for the 12 x 8 capacity and the maximum 5mm cut. 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.
The fence, which is so essential when surface planing, must be one of the most substantial on the market at this price level. The heavy fence extrusion is mounted on a large cast iron mount which tilts to 45º and is quickly and easily resets to 90º with the aid of an adjustable stop. This is then mounted on a thick steel bar which in turn is mounted in another substantial casting fixed to the outfeed table. When changing to thicknessing mode it is only necessary to tilt the outfeed table which simply flips up without encroaching into valuable workshop space and the fence remains mounted on the table with no need to remove it, saving time and avoiding the need to continually reset every time you return to surfacing. This powerful machine can take up to 5mm cuts and these adjustments can be quickly and easily made in either mode. When surfacing there is a simple lever to raise and lower the infeed table and when thicknessing there is a large handwheel to raise and lower the thicknessing table and a large clear scale for guidance.

A solid and well finished 10" x 7" cast iron planer thicknesser for the busy workshop. Cast iron is tough and heavy ensuring a long life and a very accurate finish. The large tilting fence can be positioned at any point across the table and will tilt to 45 degrees when required. The 3 knife cutter block is powered by a 2hp induction motor and is capable of a cut up to 5mm deep in a single pass. To gain better visibility and clear access for thicknessing, both of the planing beds are hinged and swing quickly out of the way, the dust hood is then swung into position. The feed roller drive, which features a rubber outfeed roller, can be disengaged when planing to save motor power and general wear.
