Developed for professional carpentry, joinery and timber construction, this specialist conversion set allows deep laps, installation grooves and traditional timber-joint preparations to be produced directly in large wooden components. The dynamically balanced 250mm planing head provides an impressive 50mm working width and a planing depth of up to 80mm, enabling substantial material removal with smooth, controlled running. A reversible carbide cutter blade works together with a dedicated carbide pre-cutter to produce clean edges, a high-quality machined surface and rapid working progress. Precision clamping rails simplify blade replacement, while the supplied fixed and movable protective covers provide the dedicated guarding required when converting the compatible saw into a planing machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eConvert a professional carpentry saw into a portable timber planer\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe NS-HK 250x50 significantly expands the application range of the Festool HK 132 and CSP 132.
