Product Description

The Newman EPR-600 Double Planer is an economical, quality planer designed to be the alternative to typical “entry level” planers.  The EPR-600 design is based on our high speed double roughing planers but is designed for customers who need less production.

Planing in long lengths allows cut-off saw operators to see defects more accurately, resulting in better decision-making and therefore increased yield.  Planing in long lengths provides maximum production.

Electrically driven neoprene rolls provide a combination of high torque, positive traction and gentle non-destructive feeding of sensitive material.  Helical carbide cutterheads provide long life and low maintenance at reduced noise levels.  Combined, these features guarantee maximum yield at minimum operating costs.
