Woodfast TH530A 530mm Spiral Head Thicknesser
The Woodfast TH530A is a compact yet powerful thicknesser designed for workshops where space is at a premium. Its 530 mm cutting width and 220 mm height capacity handle large boards with ease, while the spiral cutter block with 72 carbide-tipped inserts delivers cleaner cuts, reduced noise, and longer tool life.
Precision is effortless thanks to the touchscreen digital height adjustment, allowing you to dial in exact thickness settings and have the table adjust automatically. Driven by a 7.5 kW three-phase motor with a 6.5 m/min feed rate, this machine is built for heavy-duty hardwood production in busy professional environments.

How to use
Connect the machine to a suitable 415V three-phase supply and ensure the dust extraction hood is attached to your workshop extraction system. Power on and use the touchscreen control to set your desired finished thickness. Feed timber against the rotation of the cutter head, allowing the powered rollers to pull the workpiece through at a consistent 6.5 m/min feed rate. For best results on wide or dense hardwoods, take lighter passes rather than the full 4 mm depth. Always engage the emergency stop when changing settings or clearing jams.
