1.4 Intended Use
The Ironwood DSP2500-HS double-surface planer is designed
and manufactured for planing two sides of a workpiece in a single
operation. The lower cutterhead attens the workpiece and the
upper cutterhead planes the workpiece to the desired thickness for
fast and effective planing results.
The workpiece is fed into the machine by a pressure-nger conveyor
that holds the workpiece rmly for heavy-duty cutting applications.
The feed speed is variable to meet a wide range of workpiece
material requirements.
With hardened chrome-plated and precision ground tables, the
DSP2500-HS ensures smooth feeding motion, quiet operation, and
maximum wear resistance.
