Edge Lipping Planers

BH-556

The BH 556 Lipping Planer has been on the market for decades and has proven its reliability in the woodworking field around the world. The machine is built in Switzerland with the attention to quality and detail Swiss products are known for.

For over ten years, Hoffmann Machine Company has been the exclusive distributor for the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The unique cutting depth adjustment in 1/10mm = 0.004" increments allows a very precise setting of the cutter head in relation to the panel surface. Hard and softwoods, veneer and laminate materials are planed with ease, leaving a smooth surface free of swirl marks, etc.

Because the machine is not equipped with a guide fence referencing off the panel edge, it works equally well on curved counter tops, in cut-outs, etc. This design also allows the user to glue a wood edge on all sides of a panel at the same time. Once the glue has dried, the BH 556 is used to plane the edge flush with the panel in one pass.

The innovative design of the blades drum guard assures maximum safety and ease of use. The steel guard is spring-loaded and covers the whole blade drum. The heavy-duty motor is oversized and built to withstand continuous commercial use.

The BH 556 is shipped with a set of solid carbide knives already installed, ready for operation. A detailed manual is included as well.
