title: "Northtech NT 660S-30HCVS 30 HP Single Surface Planer (w/ Helical Cutter Head)"
description: "This Northtech NT-660S series single-surface planer opens wide to accept material up to 11-3/4\" (H) by 26\" (W). A soft-start 30 HP motor drives the 4\" helical cutter head with six (6) rows of two-sided inserts. The cutter head is dynamically balanced to ensure a quieter operation and smoother cuts. Feed rates from 5 to 70 FPM are precisely controlled through a variable frequency drive. Digital displays for both the feed-rate and cutter height allow quick set-up and accurate adjustment. "

#### Cutter Heads:

-  Cutterhead Motor:  30HP, 3PH 230/460 Volt

#### Features:

- The Helical 4″ cutterhead provides a high chip removal rate, superior surface finish & low noise level (under 85 dba).

- Powerful 30HP cutterhead motor w/ wye-delta soft-start control; 1HP feed motor makes this planer ideal for heavy-duty planing.

- The main motor is Nema-rated and standard with a 2-year warranty and service throughout North America.

- Digital positioning controller for convenient thickness setting (with memory control to 99 thickness settings).

- Variable feed speed is controlled by VFD with an LED readout of feeding speed.

- Powered table elevation for fast and convenient thickness setting. The opening has been increased to 12″ on NT-660S series planers vs. 8″ on the standard NT-660 planers.  

- Extra heavy, rib-reinforced cast iron table is surface precision ground. 660S-30HCVS has (4) precision 35mm jackscrews to support the planer’s rugged construction.

- Adjustable bed rollers ensure fast and proper positioning with regard to rough lumber to finished glue panels.

- UV rubber outfeed roller provides an optimum finish with reduced vibration.

- Corrugated sectional infeed roller has an independent yield for running strip stock of varying thicknesses without the danger of kickback.

- Anti-kickback fingers equipped at the infeed end provide added safety for the operator.

- Raising and lowering limit controls for powered table elevation
