Northtech NT-1000HC Double Surface Planer

The NT 1000HC is our 41″ width double surfacer with 8″ thickness capability. Double surfacers,
some times referred to as 2 sided planers are used to size the thickness of wood and other dense
materials such as plastic. The top and bottom helical cutter head uses two sided 30x12x2.5 carbide
insert cutters for a moulder smooth finish, even with heavy stock removal. The powered top and
bottom feed system is designed with integrated rollers in the chrome bed and a spring loaded
overhead carpet spike infeed with a gearbox connected carden shay drive. The carden shay drive
delivers a slack free feed with out the common chain adjustments. The jointer table infeed and
overhead spring loaded carpet spike system allows this machine to not only size the thickness, but
also straighten warped or crooked material. The top head is easily accessible for tooling changes
by removing the dust hood and the bottom head pulls out of the machine completely in just a
couple minutes for full access. The upper assembly is supported by a (4) column slide system that
provides precision thickness sizing across the entire width and has digital thickness positioning
control. Northtech Double surfacers are available in 16″-52″ working widths with up to a 24″
working thickness and can be oxered with a safety/sound enclosure.
