Wadkin RK (24 inch) Thicknesser
This is a thoroughly modern type of Panel Planing machine embodying many new labour-saving features, and designed throughout on the most robust lines to produce a superfine finish on hard or soft timbers.
It is a high-speed machine with four-knife circular block running at 4,000 r.p.m., and with a maximum feed speed of 100 feet per minute. The machine is compact, the drives being built into the main frame without sacrificing accessibility. Maintenance is simplified by the clean, unbroken lines of the machine. All driving mechanism is enclosed, and the inside of the main frame is entirely covered in to prevent the accumulation of chips and dirt. The machine is built with sectional chipbreaker and sectional feed roll, but solid chipbreaker and feed roll can be supplied if preferred.
