Planing Tools

Planing tools are classified according to the type of their application. There are planing cutterheads for pre-planing, finishing or fine planing. Depending on the final product to be planed, the tolerances between roughing, finishing or fine planing can be variable.

Leitz offers a wide range of tools and solutions for almost every planing requirement.

Cutterheads for pre-planing

In the pre-planing process, surfaces and shapes of the raw material are pre-defined, so that the subsequent finish processing only has to carry out minimal chip removal. Due to the relatively large chip removal during pre-planing, the tool solutions used must be both particularly robust and efficient.

Cutterheads for pre and finish planing

Depending on the product, the requirements for the final surface quality differ greatly. Cutterheads for pre and finish planing stand for solid planing quality and can be used in a variety of ways depending on the requirements and quality standards.

Cutterheads for finish planing

In finishing and fine planing, the perfect finish after the appropriate pre-machining is essential.

Combination tools for planing and profiling

Combination tools offer the opportunity to produce complete profiles with corresponding finish qualities in a single operation.

Planer knives

Planer knives must meet high quality standards. Above all, it is the uniformity of weight, the grinding quality and the quality of the cutting material that make the biggest difference. Leitz also offers specially coated planer knives as well as knives for planing systems from other manufacturers.
