Thickness planers

A thickness planer is a professional woodworking machine designed to give wooden components a precisely defined thickness. The process involves accurately planing one side of the workpiece to remove irregularities, splinters, and surface defects, resulting in a perfectly smooth and even finish. CORMAK thickness planers are indispensable in the production of furniture, panels, boards, and other elements where dimensional precision and consistency are key.

Applications of a thickness planer:

  • Wood calibration – the machine allows precise reduction of board, batten, or strip thickness to meet exact requirements.
  • Smoothing and levelling – effectively removes surface imperfections, leaving a smooth, even finish ready for further processing.
  • Dimensional uniformity – ensures all pieces within a batch have exactly the same thickness, which is essential for series production.

CORMAK thickness planers – models TH410 and TH410S

The CORMAK TH410 is a robust and efficient machine, equipped as standard with a straight cutterhead that ensures high-quality, accurate machining. It’s an ideal choice for workshops where precision and productivity go hand in hand.

The CORMAK TH410S is an advanced version with a spiral cutterhead. This solution significantly reduces workshop noise – by up to 50% – improving operator comfort. The spiral knife arrangement also provides longer blade life and delivers an exceptionally smooth finish on processed wood.

Thickness planer vs. planer thicknesser

It’s worth distinguishing between a thickness planer and a planer thicknesser, which combines two functions in one machine:

  • Planing (jointing) – flattens and smooths the first, uneven surface of the wood.
  • Thicknessing – after planing, provides the second surface with an accurate, defined thickness.

This type of machine optimises the process, performing both operations in one cycle, saving time and increasing efficiency.

By choosing CORMAK machines, you’re investing in proven solutions that ensure professional results, reliability, and long service life.
