Thickeners
Introduction
The thickener is a carpentry machine that allows you to give the wood the exact desired thickness and a perfect square between the faces. It is a type of planer but, unlike the planer, it has feeders that push the wood and in addition, the knife-holder roller, instead of being below the guide table, is above it.[1].
Description
Thickeners vary depending on the model, but in general the following parts can be described:
Safety regulations
You should always work with the thicknesser with complete confidence, while taking the greatest precautions. Accidents happen so quickly that even the quickest reflexes won't save you from injury. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to get used to a safe work system, as well as to always observe safety regulations in the workshop.[2].
