Stationary planer plan 51L

for woodelectric

Overview The Format4 plan 51L is a combined planer-jointer designed for large panel and solid wood processing. It features an extended total table length (up to 3,000 mm in selected configurations) and a tiltable infeed table enabling concave and convex joint finishing for invisible glued joints. The compact guard and foldable fence design allow the machine to be positioned close to a workshop wall without restricting planing width. Power-Drive electrical height adjustment and an ergonomically positioned control panel ensure high operating precision and user comfort.
