MARTIN T45 Thicknesser with XPLANE Cutterblock

Ottobeuren, June 2016. The 3-row Xplane planer shaft from
MARTIN is already impressed with a remarkable performance
Smoothness. This impression is as soon as the wave the shaft works remarkably quietly.
Even the largest chip cuts require one surprisingly low engine power - another advantage.
Really fascinating, however, is the one achievable with the Xplane Surface quality even on difficult
Timbers.

Since 2011, MARTIN has been producing planer blade shafts with individual, spirally arranged knives. What was initially rather was skeptically eyed in the past years to a serious alternative to established systems blossomed. Intensive development work and extensive tests have led to a perfect result:the 3-row Xplane wave from MARTIN.

It may be considered generally accepted that with a pulling cut far better surface results
are made by straight, non-knives. Specifically overgrown places, around branches, but also in itself
difficult to planify, such as Robinia Xplane highly impressive results. Breakouts by the ideal design of the three knife rows to a minimum reduced or completely avoided. This reduces expensive
Reworking, which generally covers every planed surface.Beside the optimal arrangement of the knives and the correctly selected. The number of rows is also the shape of the knives themselves
an important point. Here, MARTIN supplies with the XS-knife specially ground, cambered knife. Soft, barely perceptible Transitions between the individual knife tracks, an optimal chip removal, a remarkably low cutting pressure and a reduced spang size are the result.The XS knives made of hard metal have an approximately 20-fold higher service life than conventional planer knives. This saves Costs and opens, almost by the way, completely new processing possibilities.
Is even the planing of MDF without consequences. Does it occur, for example, by metal inclusions or Pebbles, nevertheless, to a damage of the cutting edge, must the complete blade set of the blade shaft is not replaced become. There will simply be two or three small cheap carbide knives
turned on the shaft - done. Each XS knife provides four benefits and also has a tangible effect on costs.

The spiral arrangement of the knives on a planer shaft is, in the nature of this arrangement, a considerable one Reduction of the noise produced. The perceived noise exposure sinks through the Xplane wave (opposite a traditional Planer shaft with 4 knives) by up to 50%. That makes both that Working with the machine itself but also working in the environment is much more pleasant.
The 3-row MARTIN Xplane shaft is a precision tool, thanks to its unique construction even on difficult materials excellent results.
The advantages of the Xplane shaft at a glance
? Highest surface quality thanks to a further improved 3-
row construction
? Minimized outcuts thanks to pulling cut and MARTIN XSSchliff
the knife
? Optimal work protection thanks to halved perceived noise pollution
? Cost savings thanks to up to 20 times the service life of the HMMesser
as well as four knives
? Reduced hand loads and high quality surfaces thanks to
MARTIN XS-cut of knives
? Low chip volume and excellent chip flow thanks to
optimized layout
