This Maka DH 630 A is a used wood planer — sometimes referred to as a thicknesser or surface planer — a machine used in woodworking and joinery to produce boards of uniform, precisely controlled thickness with smooth, flat faces. Maka is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building high-quality stationary woodworking machinery, serving professional joinery shops, furniture makers, and timber processing operations.
Dating from 1992 and located in Gerolzhofen, Germany, this machine carries serial number 9201891 and is described by the seller as being in good used condition. It has been GS-tested for wood dust compliance. The planer is driven by a 6.7 kW motor and accommodates workpieces up to approximately 630 mm wide and 300 mm in height, giving it substantial capacity for a single-head machine.
A key feature is the Centro-Fix reversible knife system, fitted with four knives in the cutterhead. Reversible or indexable knife systems of this type are valued for fast knife changes and consistent cutting-circle accuracy without the need for setting gauges. Feed speed is infinitely variable between 0 and 21 metres per minute, allowing the operator to match the feed rate precisely to the material and finish requirement.
The workpiece handling and hold-down arrangement is well specified. A segmented infeed roller grips stock across its width even on irregular or stepped surfaces, while two steel outfeed rollers draw the planed board clear of the cutterhead. A segmented pressure beam holds the workpiece firmly against the table throughout the cut, and a single adjustable table roller supports the underside of the board. Together these components help maintain consistent surface quality and reduce snipe.
Planing height is set electrically, with the readout shown on a digital display, and a manual fine-adjustment handwheel provides precise final positioning — a practical combination that speeds up repeat work while retaining accuracy. Dust extraction connects via a 150 mm diameter port. The machine occupies a footprint of approximately 1,200 × 1,200 mm with a height of around 1,400 mm and weighs approximately 1,000 kg. It is available at its current location loaded free of charge, unpacked, and is sold as inspected, without warranty or guarantee.
