Northtech NT-400EL Double Surface Planer
The NT 400EL is our most economical double surfacer. 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 NT 400EL has a 16″ working width and over 6″ working height. The powered top and bottom
helical cutter head uses four sided 15x15x2.5 carbide insert cutters for a smooth finish across the
entire width. The powered feed system is designed with integrated chrome bed rollers and a chain
driven spring loaded carpet spike infeed. 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 heavy duty slideway 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.
