CANTEK | GT610HI CARDAN SHAFT DRIVE DOUBLE SURFACE PLANER

High efficiency and high-speed double surface planing.

The Cantek GT610HI Cardan Shaft Drive Double Surface Planer is capable of speeds up to 98 feet per minute and its robust cast-iron body & industrial cardan drive system ensure high production planing day in and day out.  The large diameter cutterheads are spiral type with two-sided solid carbide inserts which produce a clean finish with superior stock removal capacity. The material is passed over the bottom head with a spring-loaded pin feed system while the infeed bed is adjustable to determine how much material is removed. The final thickness is keyed in the digital control and the top head & feed assembly automatically move in place.
