The Axminster Professional AP330ST Portable Thicknesser is a robust and thoughtfully designed machine that provides both precision and efficiency. With a maximum width capacity of 330mm and a depth of up to 152mm, it is capable of removing up to 3.2mm in a single pass, making it suitable for a wide range of woodworking applications. The foldable extension tables ensure easy setup and convenience in smaller workshops or job sites.
A key feature of this model is its spiral cutter block, fitted with 26 double-edged HSS spur cutters. These provide sharp, durable cutting performance and produce a super smooth finish, reducing the need for sanding. The design also runs quieter and places less load on the motor, while producing fine waste chips that improve dust extraction efficiency. Equipped with dual extraction outlets (100mm and 63mm), it ensures effective chip removal, with a blanking plug supplied for unused outlets.
The AP330ST features smooth rise-and-fall adjustment via a handwheel, along with a clear front-mounted depth gauge for accuracy. Eight pre-set depth stops (3.2mm, 6.35mm, 12.7mm, 19mm, 25.4mm, 31.75mm, 38mm and 44.5mm) allow quick and repeatable settings. The Snipe Lock function further improves performance by locking the cutterhead in position to reduce snipe. Additionally, the unit includes a side tool storage compartment and cable tidy for practical organisation. Compact yet powerful, this thicknesser is an excellent addition to any trade or professional woodworking environment.
