The Record Power PT310-HB is a compact yet extremely accurate, powerful and easy to use heavy-duty planer thicknesser. It has been designed to offer serious home users a high-performance solution for accurate dimensioning of timber.
At the heart of this machine is the helical cutter block. It features 56 TCT cutter heads arranged in a helical format over four rows. The blades themselves are machined to a convex profile to achieve a shear cut, resulting in an extremely high-quality finish to the timber. This method of cutting is extremely efficient and reduces the power consumed and strain on the machine when compared to the traditional 3-knife cutter block planer thicknesser. The arrangement of the cutter blocks also allows for increased airflow between the blades, ensuring the air is exhausted from the machine efficiently which greatly reduces the operating noise by up to 50% over traditional machines.
The helical block creates small, evenly sized chippings, meaning more effective extraction is achieved, further adding to the operating efficiency of this machine. The TCT blades last 10-20 times longer than traditional HSS planer blades and each cutter block has four sides, so when the blades become blunt, simply rotate them to expose a fresh cutting edge. In comparison to a traditional 3-knife machine, blade change and setup is simple and easy as each cutter block is secured to the block in a fixed position – meaning no intricate setup operations are necessary.
Another key feature of the PT310-HB is its parallel table lift design. Changeover from planing to thicknessing mode is fast and easy - simply loosen the cam action table locks and lift the entire table assembly, including the fence, in one movement.
