Heavy-Duty Precision: Sherwood Pro Thicknesser Machines
The Sherwood Pro Thicknesser is a reliable workhorse for cabinetry, furniture making, joinery and timber milling. It’s built for high-volume use, with features that support both safety and efficiency. These powerful machines are ideal for flattening and dimensioning rough-sawn or recycled timber, delivering consistent thickness with smooth, tear-free finishes. Built with robust construction and high-torque motors, these thicknessers handle heavy workloads and hardwoods with ease.
FAQs
What makes the Sherwood Pro Thicknesser different?
The Pro model features heavy-duty build quality, powerful induction motors, precision adjustment systems, and a commercial-grade feed mechanism. These machines are engineered for professional workshops and high-throughput operations.
Can it handle hardwoods like jarrah or spotted gum?
Yes. The Sherwood Pro Thicknesser is built to handle dense Australian hardwoods thanks to the high-torque motors, robust feed rollers, and strong cutterhead assembly.
What is the benefit of a spiral cutterhead?
Spiral cutterheads use multiple small carbide inserts arranged in a helical pattern. This reduces tear-out on tricky grain, lowers noise levels, and simplifies blade changes—only individual inserts need replacing if damaged.
How do I reduce snipe when using a thicknesser?
To minimise snipe, ensure the infeed and outfeed tables are aligned and support long boards throughout the cut. Some models have adjustable pressure bars and segmented feed rollers that help reduce snipe automatically.
What kind of dust extraction is required?
Due to the high volume of shavings produced, a powerful dust extractor is recommended. Look for a unit with at least 2HP and a 100mm or larger hose port. Most Pro Thicknessers feature built-in dust hoods compatible with standard systems.
Can the height be adjusted accurately?
Yes. These machines often feature four-post lifting systems with crank handles and precise scale markers, allowing fine adjustment of cutting depth. Some models also include digital readouts for exact thickness control.
Is this machine suitable for commercial workshops?
Absolutely. Sherwood Pro Thicknessers are designed to meet the needs of busy workshops, offering high reliability, low maintenance, and consistent performance. They're ideal for cabinet shops, furniture builders, and joinery fit-outs.
How often do I need to sharpen or replace blades?
It depends on the frequency of use and the type of timber. For standard straight blades, sharpening may be needed every few months. Spiral cutter inserts last longer and can be rotated before replacement, extending their life significantly.
