The Rutlands® thicknesser allows for ultra smooth, ripple-free planing of hard and soft woods without the need for additional sanding. It is perfect for frame making and uniform board production. The thicknesser features a triple-roller drive system. The serrated infeed-roller grips the wood and powers it through the cutter block, precisely planing the surface, before the no-mar outfeed roller draws the planed wood out. A series of anti kick back teeth prevent the workpiece from snatching and kicking back. The cutter block houses two high-speed steel blades and is perfectly balanced to minimise vibration.
The 2000w high torque motor rotates the cutter block at 8000rpm, allowing you to plane up to 3mm in one pass. The cutter block is raised and lowered on six columns to ensure precise material thickness across its entirety. The large foldable extension tables, complete with rollers at each end, are micro adjustable and adequately support the workpiece, helping to reduce snipe. The stainless steel infeed table minimises friction to ensure a smooth and consistent workpiece passage, particular beneficial when planning resinous timbers.
The maximum planning width is 330mm with a workpiece thickness from 6mm to 160mm. The 50mm dust port allows for coupling to industry standard dust extraction hoses and fittings. Whilst it is portable, it is also of solid construction, weighing 27kg, which aids stability, minimises vibration and improves performance. Supplied with a pair of high speed steel planner blades and blade setting jig. ©

Customer Reviews
Although I have not used it yet I have to give it 5 stars for the quality of the product and the price. It was delivered really well packaged and ready to use. Can’t wait to try it out. I think that the quality of the planing will be first class. Thanks H Gregory
Starting out in more meaningful woodworking, I’ve been building up my toolset and this thicknesser purchase almost completes my first phase power tools collection.
I’ve made a few items out of pallet wood and intend to use other offcuts from my local timber yard. This thicknesser makes planning and preparation of such wood much, much (!) easier. A sturdy machine, that planes and achieves consistent thickness - I would’ve bought one of these earlier and prior to purchasing an electric hand planer had I realised how well it works!
A sliding mitre saw is next on the list 😊
Just bought this machine, compact and really sturdily built. Hope to try out in next couple of days.
Only negative comment is that the extending tables keep dropping down when moving the machine. However I have overcome the problem by using one of my wife's keep fit rubber bands to clip around the machine.
Bought this planer on a daily price drop deal as it was one third the price of a makita one. It does exactly what I need it to do. Cleaned up some cherry boards and even fairly knotty London plane quite comfortably. You’ll barely need to sand the boards after using. Don’t listen to the one negative review about lack of instructions - there are instructions in the box and it’s super straightforward to use. Just attach the handle and away you go
Got it on a daily price drop, and for the money it's fantastic. I love it
Powerful, portable planing
Delivering ultra smooth, dimensionally accurate workpieces
