Record Power PT310 Heavy Duty Planer Thicknesser

July/August Delivery
The Record Power PT310-HB is a compact yet extremely accurate, powerful and easy to use heavy-duty planer thicknesser. It has been designed to offer serious home users a high-performance solution for accurate dimensioning of timber.

At the heart of this machine is the helical cutter block. It features 56 TCT cutter heads arranged in a helical format over four rows. The blades themselves are machined to a convex profile to achieve a shear cut, resulting in an extremely high-quality finish to the timber. This method of cutting is extremely efficient and reduces the power consumed and strain on the machine when compared to the traditional 3-knife cutter block planer thicknesser. The arrangement of the cutter blocks also allows for increased airflow between the blades, ensuring the air is exhausted from the machine efficiently which greatly reduces the operating noise by up to 50% over traditional machines.

The helical block creates small, evenly sized chippings, meaning more effective extraction is achieved, further adding to the operating efficiency of this machine. The TCT blades last 10-20 times longer than traditional HSS planer blades and each cutter block has four sides, so when the blades become blunt, simply rotate them to expose a fresh cutting edge. In comparison to a traditional 3-knife machine, blade change and setup is simple and easy as each cutter block is secured to the block in a fixed position – meaning no intricate setup operations are necessary.

Another key feature of the PT310-HB is its parallel table lift design. Changeover from planing to thicknessing mode is fast and easy - simply loosen the cam action table locks and lift the entire table assembly, including the fence, in one movement.

To further ensure a smooth, superior finish, the outfeed roller is rubber-coated to reduce marking of the timber as it is fed from the machine. Easy to use, powerful and accurate, the PT310-HB gives professional performance and results in a compact and cost-effective package.

The fence can be quickly tilted to 45º with the simple to use fence mount system.

The helical block ensures a silky-smooth finish is achieved, whilst reducing operating noise. The TCT cutter blocks last 10-20 times longer than traditional blades and are simple and easy to replace.

This catch eliminates the risk of the dust being accidentally removed and therefore exposing the blades.

The tables are locked in place in seconds with the easily accessible lock levers.
