Spiral Head Planer Thicknesser

• Exceptionally Smooth, High-Quality Finish

Spiral or helical cutterheads slice diagonally through wood in smaller sections, producing a finer surface finish and reducing the need for secondary sanding or planing. The helical design also extends insert life even when using single-sided carbide inserts, lowering consumable costs and maintenance downtime.

• Significant Noise Reduction

Helical cutterheads are renowned for cutting noise by up to 50%, creating a quieter workshop environment and reducing operator fatigue.

• Efficient Chip Management

Smaller chip size from the spiral head reduces dust-collection clogging and improves extraction efficiency, maintaining a cleaner work area and better airflow for consistent performance.

• Cast Iron Worktable & Base

The 910 × 508 mm worktable and base are made of high-grade cast iron, offering superior damping characteristics and resistance to wear, warping, and vibration under heavy loads.

• Precision Ball Bearings

Reliable sealed ball bearings with precision sealing extend service life, reduce maintenance frequency, and ensure smooth, low-friction operation even under arduous conditions.

• Flexible Feed Rates for Perfect Finish

An independently driven infinitely variable feed system allows on-the-fly feed rate adjustments (6–17 m/min), giving operators the flexibility to fine-tune cut quality for different timbers, especially at knots or when switching between hardwoods and softwoods.

• Enhanced Operator Safety

Equipped with segmented infeed rollers, anti-kickback fingers, and a chip breaker, the VK-B105A minimizes kickback hazards and ensures safe material handling throughout the planing process.
