startrite machines

The worktables are made from cast-iron and have a ribbed structure for greater strength and rigidity. The worktables are mounted on a parallelogram linkage mechanism which guarantees a constant distance between the worktable and the cutter block: this enables quick and easy adjustment of stock removal rates. Besides, changing over from planing to thicknessing is very easy and takes just a few seconds; to make things even easier, the worktable raising system is spring-assisted.

Startrite Formula FS1 Planer/Thicknesser

CRM Saw & Tool Co. Ltd.

An infeed roller with helical grooving and a rubber coated outfeed roller, to ensure efficient, smooth workpiece feed, and the ground, cast-iron worktable mounted on four recirculating ball screws driven by a chain represent the other innovative technologic solutions. The combined versions have the same features as the single-operation machines. Combined machines are the ideal solution for the woodworker who needs to perform a range of machining operations and has limited workshop space.

The FORMULA S35 provides all you will ever need from a saw. Each machine is fitted with exclusive solutions designed specifically for this purpose. The saw unit, for example, has a large structure, an hardened cast iron worktable and an innovative operator unit to prevent vibration and ensure excellent finishing. Moreover, the height adjustment using rounded guides ensures smooth operation even after years of use.

The scoring unit is moved vertically and horizontally using a lever system to ensure the complete absence of play: this system also enables rapid positioning thus limiting the need for sawing tests. The carriage slides easily and ensures precision and durability. Formula circular saws are fitted with an exclusive sliding system: sturdy aluminium profiles with hardened steel guides and fitted using rivets enable straight line precision of +/- 0.05 mm along the entire length of the carriage. The result is considerable: the same precision after years of intensive use without maintenance. 5 year warranty system! All controls are located at the front of the machine for easy access and to ensure further time savings in the preparation process.

Formula spindle moulders combine high performance and absolute reliability with precise, flexible operation. First-class construction approved by certification bodies and solutions resulting from the experience accumulated by an industrial group are not normally found for such a reasonable price. In addition to the standard models with fixed or tilting spindle, there are dedicated versions which offer many possibilities for working in different ways, for example for moulding or tenoning or even both on the same machine. The “LL” version is available with two side table extensions, and an extractable front support table, for increased safety, and more precise machining of long, and heavy profiles.

Cast iron surface & thicknessing tables

The Startrite FS41 with a weight of 450kg is by far the heaviest planer in the 410mm (16”) class. It has a massive cutter block of 100mm with 4 knives and a feed speed of 8 m/min. The 1800mm cast iron tables open parallel and within the width of the machine making it easy to walk around when thicknessing. Finally the fence is a vital part of any planer and often a skimped after thought is very substantial and the best on the market for this size of machine.
