NETMAK KA 500 Thicknesser
KA 500 Kalınlık Makinası
One hundred millimetres of extra width and a larger motor separate the NETMAK KA 500 from the KA 400: 500 mm capacity on a 520 x 890 mm table with a 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) cutter drive. The KA 500 thicknesses stock up to 250 mm, removes 8 mm per pass at 4500 rpm and weighs 740 kg.
What moves the KA 500 price is the cutterhead specified (four-knife or optional helical), whether motorised table lift and the digital height indicator are added rather than the manual-table build, and delivery, offloading and installation.
ფასის მოთხოვნაWhat the KA 500 does
The KA 500 planes the upper face of a board parallel to the face resting on its table, bringing a whole batch of timber to one exact thickness. Capacity is 500 mm wide by 250 mm thick, with up to 8 mm removed in a single pass by a four-knife cutterhead spinning at 4500 rpm behind a 5.5 kW motor. A polyurethane feed roller draws stock across the 520 x 890 mm table at 7 or 14 m/min, and the choice between those two rates is a real production decision: 7 m/min for oak, ash and anything with awkward grain, 14 m/min when softwood volume is the priority.
Who the KA 500 suits
The KA 500 is aimed at workshops that regularly dimension wide solid stock — table tops, glued panels, wide door components, worktop blanks and staircase treads. The 500 mm capacity is what buys that: it covers the width at which many furniture and joinery shops otherwise have to rip a panel, plane it in two halves and rejoin it. At 740 kg the KA 500 is heavy enough to stay settled through the deepest cuts it is rated for.
How the KA 500 compares with the KA 400
The KA 500 is the wider and stronger of NETMAK’s two mid-size thicknessers. Compared with the KA 400, the KA 500 gains 100 mm of planing width (500 mm against 400 mm), 1.5 kW of cutter motor (5.5 kW against 4 kW), a larger 520 x 890 mm table and a stronger 0.8-1.22 HP feed drive, at the cost of 120 kg more weight and a 900 x 1100 mm footprint against 800 x 1000 mm. Maximum thickness of 250 mm, 8 mm chip depth, four knives, 4500 rpm and the 7-14 m/min feed range are the same on both machines.
What is standard and what is optional
Standard on the KA 500 are the monobloc steel body, a guard-cover safety interlock circuit, an electromechanical brake and the polyurethane feed roller. NETMAK lists motorised automatic table height adjustment, a digital height indicator and a helical cutterhead as optional on the KA 500. Manual-table versions of the KA 500 do not carry the 0.25 HP table motor and their net weight differs from the quoted 740 kg.

უპირატესობები
- 500 mm width covers glued panels and table tops that a 400 mm machine forces you to split
- 5.5 kW motor with 8 mm maximum cut clears rough-sawn stock in fewer passes
- Optional helical cutterhead available from the factory for figured timber and quieter running
გასათვალისწინებელი
- 740 kg over a 900 x 1100 mm footprint needs a solid slab and mechanical handling at delivery
- Digital readout and powered table lift are options, not standard, so a base machine is set by hand
- Cutter diameter is not published for the KA 500, and no dust extractor or supply voltage is specified
