Wood-Mizer Introduces MP160 Jointer Planer

Wood-Mizer has released the MP160 planer and thicknesser, new two-in-one machine to produce straight and square, accurately dimensioned boards. Efficient and compact, the MP160 changes bowed or cupped rough sawn timber into perfect shaped boards.

The MP160 has one horizontal cutter that works for two cast iron tables – the upper table for planing and the lower table for thicknessing. Therefore no any alterations are needed to switch between planning and thicknessing. Just switch between the two functions easily without stopping the cutter and sawdust extractor. Start by using the top table for planing – making two adjoining sides perfectly flat and at a precise right angle to each other. Then use the bottom table for making the last two sides to be parallel to the first two, thicknessing the board to its final dimensions.

A safety guard keeps operator’s hands safe during working. The board fence tilts up to 45 degrees for jointing angled boards. The top and bottom tables can be adjusted as needed, and the infeed and outfeed tables always remain parallel to each other. The outfeed table can be fine-adjusted. Two power rollers pull boards under the cutter. The power feed has an industrial gearbox.
