Scheppach PLM1800

Planing with the powerful Scheppach PLM1800 thickness planer. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, this thickness planer is the perfect companion for mobile applications. The height adjustment can be easily made with a hand crank. Its simple operation allows for efficient work.

The PLM1800 planer machine, with its compact dimensions of 63 x 58.9 x 50 cm (L x W x H), is an ideal table model for use in the workshop or on the construction site. Two carrying handles facilitate transport for mobile use.

The PLM1800 thickness planer planes with millimeter precision from a passage height of 5 mm to 152 mm. The height adjustment is very easy via a prominently placed hand crank and a clearly visible scale for the correct measurement. Once set, the planing thickness remains constant throughout the entire work process. This allows multiple workpieces to be brought to the same thickness consecutively – very advantageous, for example, when processing floorboards. The maximum planing width is 330 mm.

Two rubber-coated workpiece return rollers and an automatic feed rate of 7.4 m/min make the work easy and ensure a smooth workflow.

The steel planing shaft with two 330 mm wide planer knives is powered by a 1500 Watt motor. With 8500 revolutions and 17000 cuts per minute, up to 2.8 mm can be planed off the workpiece per pass.

The workpiece, whether a board or wooden beam, is placed on the steel sheet thickness table and manually fed into the planer until the automatic feed takes over. The planing table is made of stainless steel and can be extended at both the front and back with a foldable table extension by 19 cm each.

A generous dust extraction connection for external dust extraction ensures that shavings are removed from the work area, keeping the air in the workshop dust-free.
