Odgen Rotary Planer 24T – Rare Opportunity in Australia
A once-in-a-lifetime machine for serious wood manufacturers and joiners.
This Odgen 24” Rotary Planer (also known as a Rotoplane) is unlike anything normally seen on the Australian market. Built for precision calibration and surface preparation, this system replaces traditional vertical-head planing with a unique horizontal rotary cutting head delivering unmatched surface quality and consistency.
Why this machine stands out:
• No tear-out, no grain direction issues: Rotary planeing means you can process resinous, knotty, or wild-grain timbers without fear of surface defects.
• Superior glue-ready finish: The shearing action leaves a smooth, porous surface — not slick like a standard planer or torn like a sander.
• High efficiency: 21 kW (30 HP) motor, up to 120 ft/min feed speed, and 54 four-sided carbide inserts (each blade can be rotated four times).
• Safe and stable operation: Virtually eliminates kick-back; minimal stress on workpieces.
• Electronic thickness adjustment: LCD digital display for precise calibration.
