Description

Axminster Workshop Planer Thicknesser, Spiral Block – 230V, 1.5kW (AW2260S) | 026108512.

The Axminster Workshop Planer Thicknesser – 230V, 1.5kW (AW2260S) with its spiral cutter block is a pleasure to use and delivers excellent results. The spiral cutting block has twenty-four, four-sided, solid carbide cutters arranged in a helix. The shear cutting action produces a silky smooth finish without the typical planing ripple found with traditional straight knives. Each cutter’s edge lasts around 10-20 times longer than a HSS knife, and each cutter has four edges. When a cutter becomes dull, simply use the supplied torx driver to turn the cutter 90°, retighten the screw, and you’re ready to continue. Downtime is minimal, with no resetting or waiting for blade sharpening. Spiral cutter blocks are notably quieter and produce less vibration. Additionally, extraction is more efficient due to the size and even shape of the waste produced.

When surface planing, a long, rigid alloy fence supports your work. The fence is easily adjustable with stops for 90° and 45°. Changing from surfacing to thicknessing is simple, as the fence does not need to be removed or repositioned when lifting the table. The single lift table mechanism, spring-supported, requires little effort. For thicknessing, engage the power feed lever; the 4.8m/min feed speed ensures a smooth, even finish. The AW2260S is fitted with a digital thicknessing gauge, greatly simplifying depth adjustment.

Product Highlights:

The AW2260S offers a high-performance spiral cutter block, easy transition between jointing and thicknessing, and precise digital height readout.
