        • Programmable controller makes it simple to set the height. Just enter what you want, and the bed automatically moves to that setting.
        • Controller includes automatic backlash compensation to produce exact, repeatable thicknesses.
        • Segmented steel infeed roll allows you to smooth multiple boards with different heights at once, increasing your productivity.
        • Durable dual steel outfeed roll moves boards along to the cutting head.
        • You can set the quick-adjust bed rolls high to reduce friction on rough-sawn stock, or adjust them lower for straighter, smoother results.
