Northtech NT 660S-25HCVS 25 HP Single Surface Planer (w/ Helical Cutter Head)

This Northtech NT-660S series single-surface planer opens wide to accept material up to 12″ (H) by 26″ (W). A soft-start 25 HP motor drives the 4″ helical cutter head with six (6) rows of two-sided inserts. The cutter head is dynamically balanced to ensure a quieter operation and smoother cuts. A 2 HP motor provides steady feed rates from 5 to 75 FPM, precisely controlled through a variable frequency drive. Digital displays for both the feed-rate and cutter height allow quick set-up and accurate adjustment.

 Cutterhead Motor:  25HP, 3PH 230/460 Volt
Helical 4″ cutterhead provides a high chip removal rate, superior surface finish & low noise level (under 85 dba).
A powerful 25 HP cutterhead motor and 2HP feed motor makes this planer ideal for heavy-duty planing and meets high production requirements. Arranged with Y-Delta soft start controls (Square D).
The main motor is Nema-rated and standard with a 2-year warranty and service throughout North America.
Digital positioning controller for convenient thickness setting (with memory control to 99 thickness settings).
Variable feed speed is driven by a VFD and TECO inverter duty DC motor (0-90′ min) with an LED readout of feeding speed.
Powered table elevation for fast and convenient thickness setting. The opening has been increased to 12″ on  NT-660S series planers vs. 8″ on the standard NT-660 planers.  
Extra heavy, rib-reinforced cast iron table is surface precision ground. 660S-20HCVS has (4) precision 35mm jackscrews to support the planer’s rugged construction.
Adjustable bed rollers ensure fast and proper positioning with regard to rough lumber to finished glue panels.
UV rubber outfeed roller provides an optimum finish with reduced vibration.
Corrugated sectional infeed roller has an independent yield for running strip stock of varying thicknesses without the danger of kickback.
Anti-kickback fingers equipped at the infeed end provide added safety for the operator.
Raising and lowering limit controls for powered table elevation
