Wood-Mizer presents the SlabMizer plank straightening machine for wide materials

With the increasing demand for high quality finished planks in the woodworking industry, Wood-Mizer introduces the SlabMizer MB200 SlabMizer straightener, ideal for wood processors, tradesmen and professional workshops.

Developed in the USA, the SlabMizer efficiently finishes and straightens planks, boards, slabs, slats and other wide materials with minimal labor.

Compared to traditional straightening or planing machines, SlabMizer machines straighten wider and thicker materials up to 1420 mm wide and 203 mm thick in less time, using automatic directional cutting head controls and variable feed speed. For increased machining capacity, modular 1520 mm table extensions can be added to extend the length of material being machined.

An extremely sturdy welded steel frame with four adjustable clamps keeps the material fixed during processing. The cutting depth is easily adjusted using a crank on top of the cutting head. A scale below the crank has incremental steps of 0.4 mm for precise positioning. You can cut between 0.4 mm and 3.2 mm in thickness in one pass.

The cutting head is coupled and operated by an electric control console. Using a long cable, you can place this console anywhere on the machine. The console is attached to a steel bracket. Electrical controls include start/stop, variable feed speed, and a joystick direction control for the X and Y axes and finishing material along or across the fiber.

You can opt for manual operation of the cutting head. Using two push bars on the right side of the head, you can change the position of the cutting head. Once both sides of the plank are straightened, the fine finish is achieved by using the 177 mm orbital sanding head attachment for the desired degree of finish. Sawdust during finishing is easily removed with the aid of a 100 mm diameter extraction port mounted on top of the cutting head, which can be connected to an exhaust system. It is recommended to connect the extraction hose to an exhaust system away from the operator.

With the addition of the SlabMizer machine, Wood-Mizer offers the full range of woodworking equipment from the forest to the final shape that can turn a log into a kiln-dried, finished, kiln-finished wood product.
