With the MP180, you have all the benefits of having a jointer and planer (planer and thicknesser) in one machine to produce flat faces and squared timber, while adding a side cutter to the lower bottom table where the planer (thicknesser) is. Take your bowed or cupped rough sawn timber and produce finished square boards and mouldings.
You start by using the top table for jointing (planing) – making two adjoining sides perfectly flat and at a precise right angle to each other. Then you can use the bottom table for planing (thicknessing) the last two sides at the same time, thicknessing the board to its final dimensions, and cutting down on an additional step. Moulding knives can be inserted into the side cutter, so you can also mould profiles as well. The horizontal cutter can also be fitted with profile knives with a maximum profile of 2 mm.
By utilizing the horizontal cutter for planing (thicknessing) and the vertical side cutter to mould, you can use the machine to joint, plane and mould (thickness, plane and mould) without having to reconfigure or significantly adjust the machine.
This design allows you to produce tongue and groove boards in two passes instead of the usual six to eight passes required with standard machinery. This unique combination makes the MP180 the obvious choice for carpenters who are looking for cost efficiency, versatility and precision in one machine.
The MP180 will enable you to produce high quality furniture-grade timber and mouldings.
Produce tongue and groove paneling, shiplap, trim, and more with the compact three-in-one MP180 Jointer Planer Moulder! The MP180 takes the versatile functionality of the Wood-Mizer MP160 Jointer/Planer and adds a vertical side cutter head to the planer table. Similar to the MP160 Jointer/Planer, the MP180 efficiently shares one horizontal cutter between two cast iron tables to produce straight-edged boards with the top jointer table and evenly planed boards with the bottom planer table. Switching between jointing and planing is done easily by moving the board from one table to the other without needing to adjust the table or stop the cutter or extractor.
When jointing boards on the top table, an adjustable board fence tilts up to 45° and locks into place for angled boards. In addition, the MP180 features one vertical side cutter that can be fitted with moulding profile knives. The vertical side cutter moulds material on one side with each pass through the bottom planer table. With the MP180, moulding material on two sides for profiles like tongue and groove can be completed in only two passes. When planing and moulding boards on the bottom table, two power feed rollers (one steel and one rubber) move the board through the horizontal cutter and vertical side cutter at a variable speed.
The MP180 Jointer Planer Moulder is built to last with heavy duty cast-iron tables, durable sheet steel chassis, and premium components. Proven in workshops throughout the world, the MP180 is backed by the same legendary service, quality and safety features shared by the entire family of Wood-Mizer woodworking equipment.
