Casadei PS 52 & PS 63 Thicknessing Planers

Description

Precision Thickness Planers for High-Performance Surfacing

The Casadei PS 52 and PS 63 thicknessing planers are professional solutions for high-precision stock preparation in cabinet shops, furniture production, and industrial woodworking facilities. Built for heavy-duty use, these machines feature ribbed cast iron worktables and a rigid steel frame, ensuring vibration-free operation and long-lasting durability.

The PS 52 offers a working width of 520 mm (20.5”), while the PS 63 provides an expanded 630 mm (24.8”) width, accommodating larger workpieces with ease. Both models come equipped with a powerful cutterblock, multiple feed speeds, and enhanced safety features, delivering exceptional finish quality on a wide range of wood materials.
