5 best reysmusovyh machines

For the processing of wood are often used planers with draw-out mechanism and knives on the drum, ensuring the safe removal of the upper layer. Such equipment is used by joiners when planing boards and beams to create the exact size of the blanks. With the help of surface gage, you can independently produce boards from loose logs. Our ranking of the best planers has collected the most popular models, featuring good performance and having a lot of positive feedback. This information will help you to choose carpentry equipment for a hobby, a workshop or a small production.

How to choose a thicknessing machine

To correctly select the thicknessing machine from the products listed in the rating or the available range in the store, it is necessary to know the key parameters of the equipment. These include:

1. Motor power. The indicator varies from 1.5 to 3 kW, which determines the thickness of the planing at a time and the possibility of working with wood of different density and humidity.
2. The number of sides processed at one time. The device can remove one or both sides at once (the blades at the top and bottom rotate on the shafts), which increases productivity and increases the cost of the goods.
3. The number of knives on the drum. On one shaft can be from 2 to 4 knives. This affects the speed and quality of gouging. Four blades are beneficial in operation, but also increase the cost of goods and services.
4. Cut depth per pass. Indicates the height of the layer to be removed when the board is once held. The indicator is from 2 to 3 mm. This affects performance with large volumes. For a hobby or periodic activity, the parameter is not critical.
5. Side sharpening knives. Machines with one-sided sharpening are cheaper, but tooling will often have to be corrected. Double-sided sharpening equipment will cost more, but it prolongs trouble-free operation.
6. Width and height of the workpiece. Since the design of the thicknessing machine has a portal form, the dimensions of the blank depend on the dimensions of the opening. In width, there are models that allow you to have a board from 280 to 330 mm, and in height from 140 to 152 mm.
7. Chip changer. If you have a connection for connecting, you can attach a vacuum cleaner or a bag. Otherwise, sawdust will crumble to the floor and will require cleaning.
8. Minimum thickness. To plan thin strips and picket fence, the minimum thickness of the workpiece is important, varying from 5 to 7 mm.
9. Shaft rotation frequency. There are from 8,000 to 10,000 revolutions per minute, which affects the processing speed.
10. Weight. Machines are manufactured weighing from 26 to 40 kg. Although they all belong to the category of mobile equipment, but with frequent changes in the workplace, the minimum weight facilitates transportation.

As you can see, the surface gage is more suitable for a small bar, 1.5 m long and planing in a limited space. It is not difficult to get it out of the garage, do the work on the street and hide the equipment back. Here is the ranking of the best models with excellent characteristics and a lot of positive feedback.

Metabo DH 330

Rating: 4.9

First place ranking given the German model with two double-sided knives and the possibility of planing a maximum width of 330 mm. The planer is equipped with an 1800 W engine and rotates the shaft at a speed of 9800 rpm. At a time, 3 mm are immediately removed from the wood. The feeder pulls the workpiece at a speed of 7 m per minute. For maintenance of a long board the folding bed is used. For the processing of the rib, it will be possible to get the product 15.2 cm in height. Sawdust removal occurs through an aspiration hole 10 cm in diameter. You can connect a vacuum cleaner to it to maintain cleanliness in the workshop. All dangerous parts are located deep in the machine, so the operator is not in danger. The scale with a narrow exact pointer helps to determine the height of the size to be installed. To prevent the values ​​from sticking to vibration, a lock is provided.

Our experts awarded the models first place due to the high smoothness of the treated surface. Carbide knives cut the top layer of wood so qualitatively that the board is smooth as a mirror, and this is confirmed by the feedback from the masters. When blunting the tool can be sharpened again. Experienced users share that knives from “Enkor” and “Belmash” are suitable for the machine.

Special CPM-2000

Rating: 4.8

In the second place is the rating gauge unit with a power of 2 kW. Its main advantage is the price with which it is difficult to compete with other manufacturers. The machine has a shaft with two knives and planes 3 mm in a single pass. The drum is able to rotate at speeds up to 8000 rpm. It surpasses the apparatus of other participants in the rating by the height of the workpiece, which is 16 cm. Buyers in the reviews share that the reismus machine easily processes dry wood, but it’s harder to work with a wet board. Judging by the characteristics and price - this is the best option for a hobby or small-scale home-made production.

Our experts paid attention to the surface gauge due to its weight of 26 kg. This is the lowest figure in the ranking. For transfer, convenient plastic handles are provided on the sides of the case. A small mass is achieved due to the duralumin bed, but its casting is even and without shells. The machine is practical for those who do not have enough space in the workshop and have to carry it into the yard for work.

JET JWP-12

Rating: 4.7

We gave the third place in the rating to the reysmusovuy machine of the Swiss company Jet. Sellers claim that this model has almost no returns. Buyers are satisfied with the quality of assembly and processing of wood. In the reysmusovom machine operates an electric motor for 1.8 kW, spinning two knives to 9000 rev / min. The maximum width of the board fed to the shaft can reach 31.8 cm, and the height 15.3 cm. In a single pass it is planed at 2.5 mm. The pulling mechanism is equipped with rubber rollers that feed the billet at a speed of 7 m per minute. Buyers like the reviews that come with two spare knives. This prolongs the uninterrupted period of operation. To maintain cleanliness in the workshop there is a nozzle to the vacuum cleaner.

This model has the largest number of reviews, which is explained by excellent quality, not inferior to the leader of the rating, but the price is two times lower. According to the characteristics of Metabo DN 330, they are almost identical. Equivalent and clean planed surface, where in most cases you can do without the subsequent grinding.

Kraton WMT 318

Rating: 4.6

The fourth place in the ranking is occupied by the thicknessing machine from the Russian manufacturer. The unit is produced at a factory in China, but this does not affect its quality at all. A 1.5 kW electric motor spins the drum with two knives up to 8000 rpm. The speed of movement of the part is up to 8 m / min. On soft wood (pine), the machine is able to select up to 3 mm of the top layer at a time. The processing width is allowed up to 31.8 cm, and the height is 15.3 cm. The case is painted with powder coating that protects the metal from corrosion. Owners in the reviews report that the blades at the machine are sharpened, and this allows you to save on tooling.

Our experts included a surface gauge in the rating because of endurance. According to the experience of carpenters, he serves up to 5 years in a workshop without major repairs in everyday use. Over time, you will have to replace the brushes, the belt drive and buy new knives, but the engine itself and the undercarriage are “not killed”. By the way, the pulling shaft is made of steel here, not rubber, which can be envied by more expensive models.

Interskol RS 330-1500

Rating: 4.5

The fifth place in the rating is given back to the Russian product, but already from the brand Interskol. The machine is endowed with a power of 1.5 kW, but despite this it spins the shaft up to 9500 rpm. The width of the supplied workpiece 330 mm model is superior to most competitors. The design provides for the addition of a dust removal system. Up to 2.8 mm of the top layer can be removed from the workpiece in one pass. The thickness gauge unit weighs 33 kg, and for relocation, recessed handles are provided. Buyers in reviews praise the goods for a smooth frame, which provides easy pulling of the material.

Our experts liked the planer with double-sided knives, for which it is listed among the best. The presence of the blade on each side allows you to reinstall the drum in the case of blunting the cutting edge and continue to work. This is optimal for temporary construction projects (finishing baths, saunas, gazebos in the cottage village), where there is no possibility to perform a specific tool sharpening.
