Jointer Format4 plan 51L

Description

The strength lies in the length
The solid plan 51L planer from the premium brand Format4 impresses with its new design and above all with the new three metre planing table length. The feeding planer table alone offers 1,650 millimetres of adequate supporting surface for larger dimensioned workpieces. As an absolute highlight, the new plan 51L is the first Format4 planer that offers a tiltable planing table for concave and convex joint finishing. The space saving design of the planing fence makes it possible to position the planer directly against the workshop wall. The comfort guard is integrated into the machine chassis and can be folded away which, when coupled, with the counter design of the machine cover panel allows absolute freedom of movement when planing. The Power Drive electrical height adjustment is included as standard and offers operating comfort of the highest level. The ergonomically designed control panel is positioned at eye level.

Format4, perfect jointing and planing technology!

For decades the Format4 system with double sided disposable planer knifes proved its advantages. Perfectly manufactured and adjusted in the factory, you do not have to adjust the planer knives and expensive aligning tools do not have to be purchased. It’s mere child’s play to change the planer knives. In less than a few minutes you can change the 4 knife cutterblock. Format4 planer knives are instantly ready for action! Your Format4 can also be equipped with a standard or tersa knife cutterblock

SILENT-POWER®

The Silent-Power® spiral knife cutterblock reduces the noise emissions when planing by more than a half. Specially developed tungsten carbide blades with their constant pulling cut, guarantee a tear free planing finish of every wood type. The optimized extraction hood ensures that the noticably shorter chips are effectively extracted and land considerably more compact in the dust bags. This more compact filling of the chip bags, saves you from having to frequently change the bags. Maximum reliability and highest level of jointing quality - the innovative new development from Format4 offers a jointing system with knives that have a usable life up to 20 times longer when compared to a conventional HSS-blade system. Damaged blades can be exchanged individually, removed and replaced with a few turns of the hand. The advantages at a glance ...
