SCM X 6.7" Double Surfacer Planer - GT400BRD
The Cantek GT400BRD 16″ Double Surface Planer has a robust cast-iron body for industrial planning day in and day out. The spiral insert knife cutterheads produce a smooth planed finish with maximum stock removal. The material is passed over the bottom head with a spring-loaded pin feed system allowing it to act like a jointer to flatten the board prior to being planed to an accurate thickness with the top head.
Features
- Spring loaded conveyor pin system ensures material is passed over the bottom cutterhead to result in a flat and uniform board prior to planning to thickness on the top head
- Spiral insert knife cutter heads with two-sided solid carbide knives produce a smooth finish with increased stock removal capacity and extremely quiet operation
- Heavy-duty cast-iron machine body and table for vibration-free cutting
- Digital electronic thickness adjustment in INCH and MM (Inch = 0.001” / mm = 0.01mm resolution) for precise thickness control
- 16″ wide x 6.7″ thick planning capacity
- Cutterheads are spiral insert type with six (6) rows of carbide inserts
- (2) driven and (1) idle bed roll for superior feeding of even difficult material
- Swiveling control panel for more ergonomic access to machine controls
- Inverter variable speed control with feed speeds from 26 to 80 FPM
- Easy to access external handwheel adjustment of infeed bed
- Hard chromed worktable for high wear resistance
- Auto lubrication to conveyor chain, central lubrication for dovetail elevation guideways
- Section chipbreaker and sectional feed roller before top cutterhead
- Rubber outfeed top roller to prevent chip marking
- Over-thickness safety shut-off bar across infeed.
- Ammeter for each motor on control panel to monitor motor load

Maintenance Tips
- Clean cutterheads, feed rollers, pressure bars, chip breakers, and worktables after each use to remove chips and dust.
- Inspect planer knives regularly for dullness, nicks, or damage and sharpen or replace them as needed.
- Keep the dust extraction system operating efficiently to prevent chip buildup and maintain surface quality.
- Check feed rollers for wear, proper pressure, and smooth operation to ensure consistent material feeding.
- Lubricate bearings, chains, gears, guide columns, and moving assemblies according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
- Verify cutterhead alignment and table parallelism regularly to maintain accurate thicknessing and surfacing results.
- Inspect drive belts, motors, and transmission components for wear, proper tension, and reliable operation.
- Remove resin, pitch, and wood residue from rollers and machine surfaces using approved cleaning products.
- Test emergency stop switches, safety guards, and protective systems routinely to ensure safe operation.
- Operate and store the machine in a clean, dry environment and protect exposed metal surfaces from rust and corrosion.
