Scheppach HMS850 Planer Thicknesser 1250 Watt

Scheppach HMS850 Benchtop Wood Planer Thicknesser 1250 Watt

Scheppach HMS850: Calibrate Your Wood with a 2-in-1 Solution

The Scheppach HMS850 Benchtop Wood Planer Thicknesser is a compact and powerful combination machine that integrates the functions of surface planing (flattening) and thicknessing (calibrating) for woodworking workshops, hobby woodworkers, and those involved in repair work. With its 1250 Watt motor, it offers high efficiency even on tough and hard wood materials.

The HMS850 is ideal for achieving smooth and even surfaces, especially on small to medium-sized workpieces. The machine features a sturdy body made of die-cast aluminum, which minimizes vibration. It operates with a surface planer table size of 737 x 210 mm and a thicknesser table size of 350 x 204 mm.

At the heart of the machine are 2 blades rotating at 8000 rpm, providing a smooth finish. Thickness adjustment is made easily and precisely via a hand crank. Additionally, its rubber feet absorb vibrations, increasing both the machine's stability and contributing to quieter operation.

Areas of Use and Industries Where It Is Used

The HMS850, with its compact benchtop design, is ideal for workshops with limited space and mobile applications.

Industries

Hobby and Home Workshops (DIY): Professional-quality results for small furniture projects, decorative wood objects, and surface finishing tasks.

Small Joinery Workshops: Pre-processing of non-standard or off-size materials used in the manufacture of doors, windows, and cabinets.

Renovation and Restoration: Renewing and calibrating the surfaces of old furniture or wooden structural elements.

Educational Institutions: A safe and user-friendly machine for teaching students the principles of planing and thicknessing in woodworking and technical skill courses.

Applications

Surface Planing (Flattening): Making raw, warped, or rough wood surfaces completely flat and square. The 737 mm long table supports straightening longer pieces.

Thicknessing (Calibrating): Bringing machined pieces to the desired, precise, and consistent thickness. The 350 x 204 mm table provides a solid foundation for this process.

Edge Squaring and Chamfering: Squaring and chamfering the edges of wooden pieces at 90 degrees.

Precise Adjustment: Height adjustment, easily done with the hand crank, allows multiple pieces to be processed to the same thickness, ensuring project consistency.

About the Product

HMS850: Smooth Wood Surfaces with Compact Power

The Power of Combination: Planer and Thicknesser in One

The Scheppach HMS850 combines two fundamental woodworking operations – surface planing and thicknessing – in a single compact machine, saving space and cost. Its die-cast aluminum construction gives the machine both lightness (23 kg net weight) and sufficient rigidity during operation. This is a significant advantage, especially for mobile applications and home workshops with limited space.

The 1250 Watt powerful motor and 8000 rpm planer shaft speed enable the machine to make fast and smooth cuts even on demanding wood types. The 2-blade cutter head leaves a high-quality finish on surfaces.

Precise Control and Ergonomics

Precision is paramount in the design of the HMS850. The height of the thicknesser table can be adjusted with millimeter accuracy using the hand crank, allowing the user to bring each piece to precisely the desired thickness. Furthermore, the machine's rubber feet absorb vibrations during operation, creating a more stable and safe environment.

The ideal dimensions of the planer table (737 x 210 mm) and thicknesser table (350 x 204 mm) offer a perfect balance for hobby and medium-scale projects. The Scheppach HMS850, thanks to its ease of use, compact size, and powerful performance, is a strong candidate to be the preferred choice for a wide range of users, from woodworking beginners to experienced craftsmen.

In summary: The Scheppach HMS850 is a compact and vibration-free benchtop combination machine, offering surface planing and thicknessing functions for hobbyists, small workshops, and the renovation sector, with its 1250 W motor power, 204 mm maximum working width, 8000 rpm shaft speed, and 2-blade system.
