Frequently Asked Questions

What types of machinery does Northtech make?
Northtech produces industrial woodworking and wood processing machinery across six categories: sawing, planing, sanding, profiling, dust collection, and veneer processing. The lineup covers upcut saws, straight line rip saws, single and double surface planers, wide belt and edge sanders, spindle shapers and moulders, dust collectors, transfer blowers, and veneer processing equipment.

Are Northtech planers available with helical cutterheads?
Yes. Every Northtech planer available from 360 Degree Machinery includes helical cutterheads as standard. Helical heads cut at a shear angle that reduces tearout and noise on difficult grain. The carbide inserts can be rotated to a fresh edge rather than sent out for grinding, which reduces downtime in high-production environments.
