Planing Tools

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.

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.

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

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

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.
