Wide Planing Capacity

The Sherwood 16in Euro Style Thicknesser can handle boards and slabs up to 400mm in width. The feed location of narrower boards can be varied from left to right across the cutterhead, distributing wear evenly across the 72 tungsten carbide inserts, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.   

Powerful Motor

Equipped with a 4HP S6 induction motor, the Sherwood 16in Euro Style Thicknesser effortlessly handles even the toughest Australian hardwoods. With this much power available, it can deliver a maximum depth of cut of 5mm, allowing rapid progress towards your final stock dimension.

Helical Cutterhead

The helical cutterhead features 4 helical spirals of 18 four-sided tungsten carbide inserts. Each insert is lightly-radiused and oriented at a shear angle to the angle of rotation, delivering a superior cut quality and excellent edge retention.

Dust Management

The Euro-style cabinet is not just for looks. Enclosing all the moving parts inside steel panelwork directs your extractor’s airflow to exactly where it is needed, while isolating the motors and drivetrains from dust and debris.

Cutterhead Access

The Sherwood 16in Euro Style Thicknesser has a hinged lid providing easy access to the cutterhead for insert rotation or changes. A cutoff switch ensures that the machine cannot be started with the lid open.

Rapid Stock Removal

A 4HP cutterhead motor driving a helical cutterhead delivers deep potential cut depths of up to 5mm per pass. Full-width anti-kickback fingers and a serrated infeed roller ensure that stock is securely moved through the machine even at high removal rates.

Helical Head

Helical cutterheads deliver a very efficient and smooth cut, requiring less horsepower, making smaller chips and operating with far less noise.
