Woodfast TH410A 400mm Spiral Head Thicknesser
The Woodfast TH410A is a heavy-duty 400 mm standalone thicknesser engineered for demanding woodworking environments, from professional trade shops to ambitious home workshops. Its 97 mm diameter spiral cutterhead houses 72 four-sided carbide knives, delivering a superior, smooth finish with significantly reduced noise compared to traditional straight-knife systems.
Powered by a robust 4 HP motor and featuring a rapid 6.5–7 m/min feed rate, this machine makes efficient work of large stock, removing up to 4 mm of material in a single pass. The finely calibrated lift system and digital depth display offer precise control, while the solid cast aluminium tables, driven infeed rollers, and comprehensive safety features ensure reliable, accurate, and secure operation.

Highlights
- The spiral carbide-head cutterblock offers a superior finish compared with straight knives—quieter and smoother cuts
- Robust construction with driven roller feed, cast/slab tables, and solid safety architecture.
- Digital depth display and finely calibrated lift system—quarter-turn equals ~0.5 mm removal
- Option to attach mobility wheels and outfeed extension tables for better handling of large stock
How to use
Ensure the machine is connected to a suitable power supply and an effective dust extraction system via the 120 mm dust port. Adjust the table height using the calibrated lift system, where a quarter-turn equals approximately 0.5 mm of removal, and confirm the setting on the digital depth display. Feed stock with the flat face down, allowing the driven infeed rollers to pull the material through at a consistent pace. Never exceed the maximum 4 mm cut depth per pass, and always use the emergency stop for immediate shutdown if needed.
