The D 963, the largest from the thicknessing range from the FELDER programme
At first glance the machine design demonstrates the core competencies of the Felder D 963: strength, stability and ease of use at the highest level. This thicknesser with a thickness planing width of 630 mm has been optimised for high performance and therefore it is a powerhouse in performance and precision. Innovative controls, large and heavy precision components show first class workmanship through maximum precision and durability. The Felder D 963 comprises approved Felder components such as the massive thicknesser table, the precise setting accuracy and the four trapezoidal spindles. These components have been extended with new, innovative developments, such as the Silent-Power® spiral cutterblock which provides an excellent thickness planing result. Professional users in trade, commerce and industry benefit from perfect thickness planing results at maximum stress.
When aiming for gentle and careful workpiece processing, the thicknesser with 630 mm planing width has nevertheless remained a powerhouse in terms of performance and precision. Large-sized, heavy-duty precision components convince with first-class workmanship, maximum precision and durability. Proven Felder system components such as the massive thicknesser table and the four trapezoid threaded spindles combine the D 963 into a completely new dimension of the quality of the planing result.
The "Digi-Drive" control guarantees maximum ease of use: enter the desired dimension, press start and the thicknesser table adjusts exactly to the position you require. LED displays for the required and actual value. Additional functions: incremental adjustments, 4 programmable thicknessing table positions. Professional machine operators from small and big workshops all the way through to industry profit from perfect jointing results.
On the basis of the legendary spiral blade cutterblock Silent-Power®, a special cutting geometry has been developed which guarantees perfect planing results for plastics. The rubberised in- and outfeed rollers allow gentle workpiece transport of particularly sensitive surfaces. Also, the adjusted feed speed from 2 to 8 m/min and the maximum chip removal of 3 mm were specially designed to meet the high demands of modern plastics processing.
Since 1956, a guarantee for perfect results with excellent ease of use and reliability in regular professional use. Woodworkers are always enthusiastic about the individual and solid solutions for small and mid-sized businesses.
The solid cast iron cutterblock housing is built for heavy duty work. We can also provide rubber outfeed rollers as an option. The pressure beams combined with the rubber feed roller serve to machine simultaneously workpieces of differing width.
Enter the required dimension, press Start and the thicknesser table will move precisely to the required position. Set and actual values are displayed on LED displays.
Additional optional functions, such as incremental position and four programmable thicknesser table positions are available.
When thicknessing several workpieces at once, the 570 mm long table extension with workpiece roller situated on the outfeed is of particular importance, making it easier to remove them once thicknessed.

Exclusive for planer/thicknessers from the Felder Group. The Silent-Power® spiral cutterblock reduces noise emissions by more than half when planing. The continuous pulling cut ensures tear-free results when planing all types of wood. With this revolutionary new development from Format4 you are obtaining all of the advantages of a spiral cutterblock at considerably lower operating, investment and adjustment costs. The advantages of the Silent-Power® cutterblock at a glance ...
Extremely quiet, noise is reduced by half
Usable blade life twenty times longer than standard blades
Four highly precise cutting edges on each knife
Optimised chip extraction and reduced chip volume
Tear-free planing results
Reduced power consumption when compared to similar systems
The fully electrical “Power-Drive” thicknesser table control offers the most precise adjustment and repeat accuracy. With a twist of the knob, you can quickly adjust the thicknessing height, then fine-adjust using the button. An integrated LED-display displays the actual value.
The Felder system cutterblock has guaranteed perfect planing results for decades. Resin free locking screws and the self-setting knives make it possible to change the blade in less than 2 minutes. Time consuming adjustments and purchasing of expensive setting gauges are a thing of the past.
