NETMAK FRS 1250 Vertical Spindle Router (Sakuli Freze)
What the FRS 1250 does
The NETMAK FRS 1250 routs, recesses and profiles from above the workpiece on large components, with 1250 mm of clearance between the cutter and the column. That reach is the reason to buy this model: a full door leaf can be positioned so the cutter works well inside the panel rather than only near its edge. The head is raised and lowered pneumatically, the spindle turns at 9000 to 18000 rpm on a 3.2-4 HP motor, and cutters are held in a 12-14 mm collet.
Who the FRS 1250 suits
The FRS 1250 is aimed at door manufacturers and large-panel joinery shops. Lock and latch pockets, hinge recesses, letterbox and vision-panel apertures, and decorative face routing on door leaves all sit within its working envelope. The table measures 960 x 1220 mm and travels 200 mm, the spindle adds 80 mm of its own travel, and the maximum spindle-to-table gap is 260 mm, which leaves usable room for template fixtures above a thick door blank. Five preset height steps make a sequence of different depths repeatable, and the 850 kg monoblock steel frame keeps deflection out of a long reach.
FRS 1250 against the FRS 900
The FRS 1250 and the FRS 900 share every cutting specification: 9000-18000 rpm spindle, 3.2-4 HP motor, 12-14 mm collet, 200 mm table travel, 80 mm spindle travel, five height steps and 260 mm maximum spindle-to-table clearance. The FRS 1250 differs in scale, with 1250 mm of column clearance instead of 910 mm, a 960 x 1220 mm table instead of 790 x 970 mm, 850 kg instead of 630 kg and a 2100 x 1200 x 1650 mm footprint instead of 1700 x 1000 x 1650 mm. The FRS 1250 costs 400 mm of workshop length; in return it removes the size limit that sends door work to a subcontractor.
What is included with the FRS 1250
Standard equipment on the FRS 1250 includes the monoblock steel body, pneumatic head raise and lower, stepped depth adjustment on the spindle, a 24 volt lighting system and the blade and hand guard. Router cutters, templates, hold-down clamps, the compressed air installation and chip extraction are not supplied with the FRS 1250 and must be specified according to the door or panel programme being run.
NETMAK FR 2000Y Tilting Spindle Moulder
What the FR 2000Y does
The NETMAK FR 2000Y cuts moulded profiles, rebates, tenons and panel raises with the added freedom of a spindle that tilts from -5 to +45 degrees. Tilting the spindle rather than the workpiece means a single straight cutter can produce a whole family of angled profiles, and awkward bevelled sections stay flat on the table instead of being propped on a jig. Four spindle speeds of 3200, 4200, 6000 and 8000 rpm let the FR 2000Y match cutter diameter to rim speed, which matters because the machine accepts cutters up to 300 mm across.
Who the FR 2000Y suits
The FR 2000Y suits door and window makers, stair builders and furniture workshops producing raised panels, angled glazing beads and shaped mouldings. The table measures 1050 x 800 mm at a 900 mm working height, and the spindle has 170 mm of vertical travel with a usable spindle height of 140-150 mm, so tall profiles can be cut in one pass. Digital height and angle indication is standard equipment, which turns tilt setting from a trial-and-error exercise into a recorded number that can be repeated on the next batch. A guard for curved work is included for shaped components run against a ring fence.
How the FR 2000Y differs from a fixed spindle moulder
A conventional fixed-spindle moulder cuts only what the cutter profile itself describes. The FR 2000Y adds a 50 degree tilt range, so the same tooling investment covers straight, undercut and bevelled work, and the digital angle display makes each setting recoverable. The trade-off is that the FR 2000Y is a 490 kg machine with a 1050 x 1200 x 1400 mm footprint driven by a single 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor, lighter than the heaviest fixed moulders and best used with a power feed unit for consistent results on long runs.
What is included with the FR 2000Y
The FR 2000Y is supplied with a monoblock steel body, a cover protection circuit, an electromechanical brake, the -5 to +45 degree tilt mechanism, a guard for curved parts and digital height and angle indication. Table flange diameters of 115, 170, 220, 270 and 345 mm are covered by the machine’s ring inserts. Cutters, a power feed unit, extraction and the electrical connection are not included with the FR 2000Y.
NETMAK CNC 2411 CNC Router and Door Machining Centre
What the CNC 2411 does
The NETMAK CNC 2411 combines a full-size CNC router with dedicated door machining hardware in one frame. The working envelope is 2400 mm in X, 1100 mm in Y and 250 mm in Z, which covers a standard door leaf and most cabinet panel work in a single setup. An 11 HP spindle runs from 12000 to 24000 rpm through an automatic tool changer holding six HSK F63 tools, so a routine that drills, rebates, profiles and engraves runs without an operator changing cutters. Servo-controlled axis motors move at 40 m/min in X and Y and 15 m/min in Z.
Who the CNC 2411 suits
The CNC 2411 is built for serial production of steel door skins, MDF panels and rustic kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and wardrobe fronts, and it also mills and drills chipboard, aluminium, plexiglass and other non-ferrous materials. What separates the CNC 2411 from a plain three-axis router is the pair of horizontal motors added at the left and right of the machine: 3.5 HP each at 18000 rpm, they machine lock and hinge positions into the edge of a door without the leaf leaving the bed. A workshop that currently routs faces on a CNC and then moves every leaf to a separate lock-and-hinge machine removes a full handling step with the CNC 2411.
How the CNC 2411 is built and controlled
The CNC 2411 uses a monoblock, fully steel construction weighing 3000 kg over a 3200 x 1750 x 2400 mm footprint, with an aluminium flat vacuum-channel table held down by a 205 m3/h vacuum pump. Control is by an industrial system such as DeltaTau or Omron, and the CNC 2411 runs any CAD/CAM package that outputs ISO G-code, so existing programs and post-processors are not stranded. Maximum panel thickness under the gantry is 150 mm, which is generous for a door machine and leaves room for jigs.
What is included with the CNC 2411
The CNC 2411 is supplied with the steel frame, aluminium vacuum table, 205 m3/h vacuum pump, automatic tool changer with six HSK F63 positions, servo axis drives, the industrial control and the left and right horizontal door motors. Cutters and toolholders, CAM software, compressed air, chip extraction, and the power and air installation are not included with the CNC 2411 and are quoted with the project.
NETMAK PL 500 Surface Planer (500 mm)
What the PL 500 surface planer does
The NETMAK PL 500 flattens the first face and squares the first edge of solid timber up to 500 mm wide. Work is carried on 2600 mm of table, divided into a 1420 mm infeed and an 1180 mm outfeed section, over a 120 mm cutterblock with four knives spinning at 4500 rpm. The 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor supports a full 15 mm depth of cut, so heavily cupped or badly sawn boards can be brought to a true face quickly rather than shaved down over many passes.
Who the PL 500 suits
The PL 500 is the middle choice in the NETMAK planer range and suits the workshop that handles both framing timber and moderately wide boards. Furniture makers preparing 450 mm bed rails, stair builders facing strings, and door shops jointing wide stiles all sit in the PL 500’s working band. Its 770 kg mass and monoblock steel body damp the vibration that becomes noticeable when a wide board contacts all four knives at once, and the electromechanical brake stops the block quickly between pieces.
PL 500 against the PL 400 and PL 600
The PL 500 differs from its siblings in width and footprint only. Table length (2600 mm), infeed and outfeed split (1420 mm / 1180 mm), depth of cut (15 mm), knife count (4), block diameter (120 mm), spindle speed (4500 rpm) and motor (7.5 HP / 5.5 kW) are identical across the PL 400, PL 500 and PL 600. The PL 500 occupies 900 x 2650 x 1250 mm and weighs 770 kg, against 800 x 2600 x 1250 mm and 710 kg for the PL 400 and 1000 x 2650 x 1250 mm and 880 kg for the PL 600. Buying the PL 500 rather than the PL 400 costs 100 mm of workshop width and buys 100 mm of planing width.
What is included with the PL 500
The PL 500 is delivered with a monoblock steel body, an electromechanical brake, two hand and knife guards, a cast fence adjustable through 45 degrees and four knives on the 120 mm cutterblock. Digital height indication, automatic table adjustment and a helical cutterblock are offered as PL 500 options. Extraction hose and ducting, a power feed unit and spare knives are ordered separately.
NETMAK PL 600 Surface Planer (600 mm)
What the PL 600 surface planer does
The NETMAK PL 600 is the widest surface planer in the NETMAK PL range and produces the flat reference face and square edge on stock up to 600 mm across. Timber runs over 2600 mm of table, split 1420 mm infeed and 1180 mm outfeed, above a 120 mm cutterblock with four knives at 4500 rpm. A 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor carries the full 15 mm depth of cut even across the widest work, and the 880 kg monoblock steel body keeps the machine planted while it does so.
Who the PL 600 suits
The PL 600 earns its place in shops that face edge-glued panels rather than just framing timber. Solid-wood table tops, wide wardrobe doors, bench tops and shopfitting components come out of the clamps with a visible step at each glue line, and only a wide planer removes that step in one operation. A workshop pairing the PL 600 with a 600 mm class thicknesser such as the NETMAK KA 600 has a matched pair: whatever the planer can face, the thicknesser can finish.
PL 600 against the PL 500 and PL 400
The three NETMAK planers are one design in three widths. The PL 600, PL 500 and PL 400 all use a 2600 mm bed with the same 1420 mm / 1180 mm split, a 15 mm maximum cut, a four-knife 120 mm block at 4500 rpm and a 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor. What separates the PL 600 is 600 mm of planing width, an overall size of 1000 x 2650 x 1250 mm and 880 kg of mass, against 770 kg for the PL 500 and 710 kg for the PL 400. The extra mass is an advantage on wide cuts; the extra 200 mm of shop width is the price.
What is included with the PL 600
Standard specification on the PL 600 covers the monoblock steel body, an electromechanical brake, two dedicated hand and knife guards, a cast fence tilting through 45 degrees and four knives on the 120 mm cutterblock. Options on the PL 600 are a digital height indicator, automatic table adjustment and a helical cutterblock. Chip extraction equipment, roller stands and spare knife sets are supplied separately and should be budgeted with the machine.
NETMAK FRS 900 Vertical Spindle Router (Sakuli Freze)
What the FRS 900 does
The NETMAK FRS 900 performs template-guided routing, recessing and profiling from above the workpiece, with the cutter descending onto the part instead of the part being pushed into a fixed spindle. Pneumatic raising and lowering of the head keeps the operator’s hands away from the cutter and makes plunge depth repeatable across a batch. The spindle turns at 9000 to 18000 rpm driven by a 3.2-4 HP motor, holds cutters in a 12-14 mm collet, and offers five preset height steps so a multi-depth job can be run without re-measuring between stages.
Who the FRS 900 suits
The FRS 900 belongs in door and furniture workshops that cut hinge recesses, lock mortices, handle pockets, sign lettering and decorative panel work in repeated batches. Clearance from cutter to column is 910 mm, which sets the deepest point on a panel the FRS 900 can reach in from an edge. The 790 x 970 mm table travels 200 mm, and the spindle itself has 80 mm of travel with a maximum spindle-to-table gap of 260 mm, so reasonably thick components and jig fixtures still fit under the head. A 24 volt lighting system over the work area and a combined blade and hand guard are standard, both of which matter on a machine where the operator watches a template follower closely.
FRS 900 against the FRS 1250
The FRS 900 and the FRS 1250 are the same machine on two frame sizes. Spindle speed range (9000-18000 rpm), motor (3.2-4 HP), collet (12-14 mm), table travel (200 mm), spindle travel (80 mm), five depth steps and 260 mm maximum spindle-to-table clearance are shared. What differs is reach and mass: the FRS 900 gives 910 mm of column clearance on a 790 x 970 mm table at 630 kg and 1700 x 1000 x 1650 mm overall, while the FRS 1250 gives 1250 mm on a 960 x 1220 mm table at 850 kg. Choose the FRS 900 for cabinet doors, drawer fronts and smaller panels; the FRS 1250 is for full-height door leaves.
What is included with the FRS 900
The FRS 900 ships with a monoblock steel body, the pneumatic head raise and lower system, stepped depth adjustment on the spindle, 24 volt work lighting and the blade and hand guard. Cutters, collets beyond the fitted size, templates, hold-down clamps, the compressed air supply and chip extraction are not included with the FRS 900 and are specified according to the work.
NETMAK KA 630 Thicknesser (630 mm)
What the KA 630 thicknesser does
The NETMAK KA 630 planes solid timber and glued panels to a fixed, repeatable thickness across the widest capacity in the NETMAK KA range: 630 mm. A 120 mm cutterblock with four knives turns at 4500 rpm above a 640 x 990 mm table, and polyurethane feed rollers draw the work through at 7 or 14 m/min depending on whether the priority is finish or throughput. Components up to 250 mm high pass under the block, and the KA 630 removes as much as 8 mm in a single pass, which is what makes wide, heavy hardwood sections practical rather than tedious.
Who the KA 630 suits
The KA 630 belongs in shops where wide glued panels are routine: solid-wood table tops, wardrobe doors, staircase treads and shopfitting components that arrive from the clamps slightly out of thickness. A workshop that regularly edge-glues four or five 150 mm boards is already past 600 mm, and the extra 30 mm on the KA 630 is the difference between running the panel and re-cutting it. The 860 kg monoblock steel body absorbs the vibration that appears when a wide panel meets the knives across its full width.
KA 630 against the KA 600
The KA 630 and the KA 600 are mechanically the same machine at two widths. Height capacity (250 mm), depth of cut (8 mm), block diameter (120 mm), knife count (4), spindle speed (4500 rpm), feed range (7-14 m/min) and motor package (10 HP / 7.5 kW cutter, 0.8-1.22 HP feed, 0.37 HP table) are identical. The KA 630 differs in its 640 x 990 mm table, its 1000 x 1200 x 1050 mm footprint and its 860 kg weight, all marginally larger than the KA 600. Buy the KA 630 when panels above 600 mm appear even occasionally; the cost of the wider machine is far below the cost of splitting and re-gluing a panel.
What is included with the KA 630
Standard equipment on the KA 630 covers the monoblock steel frame, a cover protection circuit that cuts power when the guard is lifted, an electromechanical brake, four fitted knives, polyurethane feed rollers and motorised automatic table height adjustment. A digital height indicator and a helical cutterblock remain factory options on the KA 630. Extraction ducting, spare knives and the electrical connection are supplied separately.
NETMAK PL 400 Surface Planer (400 mm)
What the PL 400 surface planer does
The NETMAK PL 400 creates the first flat face and the first square edge on rough timber, the reference surfaces every later operation depends on. Total table length is 2600 mm, split into a 1420 mm infeed table and an 1180 mm outfeed table, which is long enough to support a 3 metre door stile without a roller stand under each end. A 120 mm cutterblock with four knives runs at 4500 rpm on a 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor, and the PL 400 will take up to 15 mm of material in a single pass on stock up to 400 mm wide.
Who the PL 400 suits
The PL 400 fits joinery and door workshops that machine long solid-timber sections rather than sheet material. Long tables are the whole argument for this class of machine: a short-bed planer produces a banana out of a 2.5 metre length no matter how carefully it is fed, while the 2600 mm bed of the PL 400 holds the workpiece flat through the cut. At 710 kg, the PL 400 is also the lightest and narrowest of the three NETMAK PL models, which matters in shops where floor space is tight.
PL 400 against the PL 500 and PL 600
All three NETMAK surface planers share the same 2600 mm table length, 1420 mm infeed and 1180 mm outfeed split, 15 mm depth of cut, four-knife 120 mm block, 4500 rpm spindle and 7.5 HP / 5.5 kW motor. They differ only in width and mass: the PL 400 gives 400 mm and 710 kg over an 800 x 2600 x 1250 mm footprint, the PL 500 gives 500 mm and 770 kg, the PL 600 gives 600 mm and 880 kg. Choose the PL 400 when the work is framing timber, door and window sections and furniture rails; step up if wide glued panels have to be faced.
What is included with the PL 400
Every PL 400 is supplied with a monoblock steel body, an electromechanical brake, two dedicated hand and knife guards, a cast fence that tilts through 45 degrees, and four knives on the 120 mm block. Optional on the PL 400 are a digital height indicator, automatic table adjustment and a helical cutterblock. Chip extraction, a power feed unit and knife-setting equipment are not included and are usually specified alongside the machine.
NETMAK KA 600 Thicknesser (600 mm)
What the KA 600 thicknesser does
The NETMAK KA 600 reduces sawn or face-planed timber to a repeatable finished thickness across a 600 mm width. Stock passes over a 620 x 990 mm table under a 120 mm cutterblock carrying four knives at 4500 rpm, while polyurethane feed rollers pull it through at a selectable 7 to 14 m/min. Maximum component height is 250 mm and the KA 600 will lift 8 mm of material in one pass, so a rough oak or beech blank for a door stile, table leg or stair string reaches its finished section in two or three passes instead of a dozen light cuts.
Who the KA 600 suits
The KA 600 is sized for joinery shops and door manufacturers that thickness solid timber every working day, not occasionally. The 10 HP / 7.5 kW cutter motor and 850 kg of monoblock steel keep the cut stable when a wide, knotty board is fed at full depth, which is exactly where lighter hobby-class thicknessers stall or chatter. Motorised table height adjustment carries real weight in a production shop as well: an operator changing setting twenty times a shift is pressing a button rather than counting handwheel turns.
KA 600 against the KA 630 and the smaller models
Choosing between the KA 600 and the KA 630 comes down to width alone. Both machines share the 250 mm height capacity, 8 mm depth of cut, 4500 rpm four-knife block and 10 HP / 7.5 kW motor; the KA 630 adds 30 mm of planing width, a 640 x 990 mm table and 10 kg. A workshop whose widest glued panel stays under 600 mm saves 100 mm of floor depth with the KA 600, whose overall footprint is 1000 x 1100 x 1050 mm. Against the narrower KA 400 and KA 500 in the same NETMAK thicknesser range, the KA 600 is the model that takes full-width door rail and worktop blanks without ripping them first.
What is included with the KA 600
A standard KA 600 arrives with the monoblock steel frame, a cover protection circuit that isolates the machine when the guard is opened, an electromechanical brake to stop the block quickly, four knives on the 120 mm cutterblock, polyurethane feed rollers and the powered table drive (0.37 HP table motor, 0.8-1.22 HP feed motor). A digital height indicator and a helical cutterblock are factory options, both worth specifying for figured hardwood or quieter running. Dust extraction, knife-setting gauges and the electrical supply installation are not part of the package.
NETMAK KA 400 Thicknesser
What the KA 400 does
The KA 400 takes a board that already has one flat reference face and planes the opposite face parallel to it at an exact set thickness. Stock up to 400 mm wide and 250 mm thick passes over a 420 x 790 mm table while a four-knife cutterhead of 110 mm diameter, turning at 4500 rpm on a 4 kW motor, removes up to 8 mm in a single pass. A polyurethane feed roller pulls the board through at either 7 or 14 m/min, the slower rate for hardwood and figured grain where a finer finish matters, the faster one for softwood dimensioning.
Who the KA 400 suits
The KA 400 is sized for a furniture workshop or joinery whose components are cabinet parts, door rails, frame stock and solid tops up to 400 mm wide. It is the practical partner to a surface planer: the planer establishes the first face, the KA 400 makes the second parallel and brings the whole batch to one dimension. Any shop buying rough-sawn timber rather than pre-dimensioned stock will use the KA 400 daily.
How the KA 400 compares with the KA 500
The KA 400 and the KA 500 differ mainly in width and power. The KA 400 planes 400 mm wide with a 4 kW cutter motor on a 420 x 790 mm table at 620 kg; the KA 500 planes 500 mm wide with a 5.5 kW motor on a 520 x 890 mm table at 740 kg. Maximum thickness of 250 mm, 8 mm chip depth, four knives, 4500 rpm and the 7-14 m/min feed range are identical on both. Choose the KA 400 when 400 mm covers your widest panel and the smaller 800 x 1000 mm footprint helps.
What is standard and what is optional
The KA 400 comes as standard with a monobloc steel body, a guard-cover safety interlock circuit, an electromechanical brake and the polyurethane feed roller. Three features are listed by NETMAK as options rather than standard equipment on the KA 400: motorised automatic table height adjustment, a digital height indicator and a helical cutterhead. On manual-table versions of the KA 400 the 0.25 HP table motor is absent and the net weight differs from the quoted 620 kg.
