Leitz Tooling is the world’s leading provider in woodworking tooling solutions. With a strong 145+ years history, it has developed some of the finest solid wood and sawmill solutions for planing.
MC33 Planer blades from Leitz are engineered to improve cutterhead performance when planing. Suitable for use in all conventional 3mm wedge-type planerheads and coated with Leitz Tooling’s own Marathon coating, these planer blades excel at handling high-volume production. MC33 planer blades achieve six times higher tool life compared to uncoated steel planing knives. This results in a massive decrease in tool costs, as knives do not need to be changed or serviced as frequently. They also reduce downtime by up to 80% from tool changes, allowing machinery to operate for longer periods, improving productivity and lowering costs per running meter.
The MC33 planer blades partner with a massive range of planing heads such as the TurboPlan PLUS which are also engineered for high volume production. The TurboPlan PLUS hydro planerhead from Leitz fully harnesses the potential of high-performance machines. The higher number of teeth enables the maximum feed rate of up to 300 m/min to be used while keeping the best planing quality – and therefore significantly increases productivity and reduces cycle times. Built with lightweight materials that reduce weight by 30%, the planerhead has been engineered to reduce machine wear and motor stress. The fast-change hydro clamping system also allows for reduction of set up times by 80%, thanks to the innovative design.
The Leitz Centroplan Profix is a combination tool designed to reduce production costs and at the same time generate perfect finish qualities without sacrificing the performance of the overall system. They CentroPlan integrate a profile cutter within the planerhead design. Allowing for multiple operations with one tool. This leads to significantly reduces cycle times and eliminates downtime from tool changes between operations.
