Product overviewThe Format-4 planer exact 63 is a 630 mm (approx. 24.75 in) thicknesser/planer for carpentry, cabinet-making and industrial workshops. It combines a 120 mm diameter cutterblock, selectable cutterhead types and digital table controls to deliver precise, repeatable planing operations.
Cutterblock options- 4-knife Format System cutterblock
- 4-knife Standard cutterblock for traditional single-sided planer knives
- 4-knife TERSA cutterblock
- Silent-Power® spiral cutterblock
Highlights- Silent-Power® spiral cutterblock reduces noise emissions, optimises chip extraction and extends blade life.
- Digi-Drive: preset dimension input and start; table moves accurately; LED displays show set and actual values; optional incremental positioning and programmable table positions.
- Variable feed speed (5–20 m/min) as standard for surface finish or fast calibration.
- Power-Drive electrical thicknesser table height control with quick adjustment and LED actual-value display.
Details / Functional features- Infeed rollers: Float-mounted infeed rollers lift gently for large depths of cut; spring positioning maintains constant pressure for deep cuts.
- Supporting roller: Optional workpiece roller and lubrication unit on the infeed side for wet or resinous wood.
- Adjustable integrated bed rollers: Optional adjustable bed rollers for processing high-resin or high-moisture workpieces.
- Stability and precision: Four trapezoidal spindles ensure exact table adjustment; longitudinal guides in the chassis absorb outfeed pressure and guide the table to a tenth of a millimetre.
- Table extension: Stable extensions with outfeed workpiece roller improve handling comfort.
- Height-adjustable scissor table: Optional 1150 mm height-adjustable scissor table.
- Cast iron bearing seats: Solid cast iron cutterblock housing for heavy-duty use; optional rubber outfeed rollers; pressure beams with rubber or segmented infeed roller allow simultaneous machining of workpieces of different widths.
- 4-knife planing: Format4 System cutterblock with 120 mm knife flight and 4 knives for precise, user-friendly planing.
- Quick blade change: 4-knife cutterblock with rapid knife change and self-aligning knives; enclosed design reduces resin build-up and noise; two-sided knives lower operating costs.
- Silent-Power®: Felder Group spiral cutterblock delivering low noise, extended blade life, four cutting edges per knife and optimised chip extraction.
