Woodfast PT260B 260mm Spiral Head Planer Thicknesser
The Woodfast PT260B combines a surface planer and thicknesser into one robust machine, delivering precision and efficiency for demanding woodworking tasks. Its spiral cutter head and precision-machined cast iron tables ensure smooth, vibration-free operation and a superior finish on every pass.
Switching between planing and thicknessing is effortless thanks to the dual table lifting system and single-handed operation, while the digital height readout and automatic material measurement allow for quick, accurate setups. With a generous 260mm cutting width and a thicknessing capacity from 4mm to 225mm, this machine is built for serious woodworkers and busy trade workshops.

How to use
Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, level surface and connected to a suitable dust extraction system. For surface planing, adjust the infeed table to the desired cutting depth (up to 4mm) and pass the rough timber over the cutter head while applying firm, even pressure. To switch to thicknessing, use the single-handed table lift to raise both tables simultaneously without removing the fence, then feed the material through the thicknessing port. Use the digital height readout and automatic material measurement for precise, repeatable setups.
