What users are saying about the MP260 planer / profiler

• Sweden: Construction timber

"This planing/profiling machine has the advantage of planing all four sides simultaneously. We don't have to clamp the piece of wood to be processed several times. Roll it once and it's done. With the variable speed of 2-12 m/min, we always get a nice surface finish"says Lennart Ståhl from Sweden. Together with his brother Goran, they produce woodworking products and supply local customers with quality timber for building and finishing houses in Sweden.

"We bought the car three years ago and we are delighted with it"says Lennart. "In the past, I used to work with an old planing machine, but it was much harder and it took longer to set the knives. On the MP260, it takes about 20 minutes, if you're already experienced. It's a simple machine; anyone can learn to use it. The machine can also handle planks up to 260 mm wide, so it's perfect for making quality building prisms and beams."

"We can realize different profilures on Wood-Mizer woodworking machines. We make all these fancy profiles in one pass. The customer receives the product, which is ready for assembly. After installing the right cutting knife, we can make these items in any style desired"explains Göran Ståhl. "We are pleased with these machines and, since they've worked so well in our shop, we are recommending them to other operators and carpenters."

• USA: Cottage construction business

Steve Kesti from Michigan fulfilled his childhood dream and built a log cabin on his property.

"People came and looked at the hut and said .shares Steve. At that moment, Steve realized he could start a business building cabins and make dreams come true for others.

Beginning with the cottage construction, one step at a time, Steve began to expand his cedar business by adding a Wood-Mizer MP260 Wood-Mizer MP260 planing/profiling machine to his shop. This model of machine simultaneously resaws and profiles planks on all four sides simultaneously to make flooring, paneling, trim, decorative elements and more. Steve relies on his MP260 machine to prepare planks with tongue and groove joints and other finished products. The first year he cut cedar, he cut what he thought would be enough to get through the winter, but his stock lasted only through January. The following year, he cut twice as much, but even that stock lasted only until October. "It sold out so quickly, as soon as I got it through the rinser"says Steve.

• Poland: Furniture design and production with MP260 Wood-Mizer

The Polish woodworking company 'Old Mountains' designs and manufactures state-of-the-art furniture and everyday objects, combining old wood with concrete, steel and glass. "By combining such materials, we offer our customers a great look and original products"explains Kamil Broda, owner of the company.

The first few months of the business were not easy for the family, as they treated their work more like a hobby, so they didn't count the time it took to make the products. However, when they had to calculate the price for a customer, they were disappointed because the cost was high and the profit low. "We wanted to become independent and we wanted to increase productivity in our workshop. That's why we decided to invest in professional woodworking machines from Wood-Mizer"says Kamil. The first machine that OLD Mountains ordered was a Wood-Mizer MP260 four-sided Wood-Mizer MP260, which allowed the operator to significantly speed up the wood preparation process. "For us, it is important to be able to prepare material quickly, accurately and consistently. Otherwise it will be impossible for us to offer our customers attractive items in large quantities and at short notice"explains Kamil.

"It is a reliable and efficient machine, easy to operate and adjust, with which you can maintain a high consistency of production. Before we ordered the MP260 planing/profiling machine, we researched the information online. I learned that it has been offered to the Swedish market for many years, so its construction has already been tested by a demanding Scandinavian customer. It is currently offered by Wood-Mizer, located in Koło, Poland, so for a customer like me, it is easy to get in touch with the service department "emphasizes Kamil.
