Carbatec 20" Thicknesser with Helical Cutterhead - 3 Phase

Heavy-Duty Precision for the Serious Woodworker

Take command of your timber preparation with the TH-X508C-3P Thicknesser. Formerly known as the CTJ-508X-3PH, this machine retains all the robust specifications you trust, now with an updated look and product code. At its heart lies a powerful 5.5HP induction motor and a helical cutterhead equipped with 98 tungsten carbide cutters. This advanced cutterhead design revolutionises your workflow by significantly reducing noise and virtually eliminating tear-out, even on curly or highly figured grain. You spend less time sanding and more time creating.

Efficiency is built into every aspect of this machine. The motor is mounted low in the cabinet, freeing up the top of the machine for a set of return rollers. This allows you to easily pass material back for repeat cuts, saving you the heavy lifting. With a two-speed gearbox, solid cast iron construction, and a built-in mobile base, you get a machine that is both a heavyweight performer and easy to position in your workshop. The carbide knives last significantly longer than standard HSS blades and can be rotated four times for a fresh edge in seconds, ensuring you always get a superior finish. Replacement blade product code CTI-1525-R100

Please note: This machine requires a 415V power supply and does not come with a plug included.
