The 43" Planer Sander is designed to greatly increase your efficiency when planing and sanding solid wood components. The spiral insert cutterhead produces a fine finish and requires less horsepower than traditional straight knives. When a cutting edge becomes dull, you simply slide the head assembly out of the machine and rotate the knives to a fresh edge. The SRN series features an extra heavy-duty frame, industrial cast-iron pressure shoes, and cast-iron sanding head assemblies, which allow the SRN series to excel in high-production environments and demanding Wide Belt sanding applications. The SRN series is available with 1-4 sanding units and in widths of 24", 36", 42", 52" and 63". Sanding units can be rubber-covered contact drums, or combination sanding units (drum/platen) to suit production needs. It is also equipped with a user-friendly touch screen control for added convenience in adjusting the feed speed, thickness setting, and more. Special emphasis has been made to the safe operation of this sander with emergency devices on the infeed, outfeed, conveyor table, and access doors.
