This Semi Automatic Finger Joint Cutter is designed to cut precise finger (comb) joints and tenons for joining wood. It's commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, frame and panel production, and other woodworking applications that require strong end-to-end or edge joints.
Semi-automatic means some operations are automated (the cutter motor and cutting cycle), while the operator is required to load, position and/or align workpieces and start the cutting cycle. Exact automation level (e.g., automatic feeding or conveyors) should be confirmed with the supplier.
The machine is electrically powered with a 7.5 kW motor and is specified for 380V. This typically implies a three-phase supply; installation should be completed by a qualified electrician.
Machine overall dimensions are 2200 x 1600 x 1700 mm. Net weight is listed as 400 kg and single gross shipping weight as 500 kg. Single package size is 220 x 160 x 170 cm.
It is suitable for solid woods and common engineered wood products used for finger joints (hardwoods and softwoods). It is intended for woodworking materials—do not use it on metals, plastics, or materials not recommended by the supplier. For specific materials and thickness limits, consult the manufacturer.
Maximum and minimum workpiece dimensions depend on cutter head, tooling and machine configuration. The specification sheet provided does not list exact capacity limits, so contact the supplier or check the detailed manual for the machine's maximum thickness, width and recommended lengths.
The machine uses finger joint/finger cutter tooling designed for joint profiles. Replacement cutters and custom cutter sets are typically available from the manufacturer or tooling suppliers. Regular sharpening or replacement is recommended to maintain joint quality.
Production speed depends on workpiece size, joint profile, cutter setup and operator workflow. The machine is built for high performance with its 7.5 kW motor and is suitable for both small shops and larger production, but request cycle-time samples or a demonstration from the supplier for exact throughput numbers.
Typical safety measures include cutter guards, emergency stop, proper electrical grounding and recommended lockout/tagout procedures. Operators should wear appropriate PPE—safety glasses, hearing protection and dust masks—and be trained in safe operation. Confirm specific built-in safety features with the seller.
Regular tasks include cleaning dust and debris, lubricating moving parts per the manual, checking and tightening fasteners, inspecting belts and pulleys, and sharpening or replacing cutters as needed. Periodic electrical and motor inspections are also recommended.
A dust extraction system is strongly recommended for operator safety and to protect machine components. Infeed/outfeed conveyors, stop blocks or feeding aids may be added for higher throughput or easier handling—ask the supplier about compatible accessories.
The machine weighs approximately 400 kg, so a stable, level floor that can bear the load is required. Allow additional working clearance around the listed dimensions for safe operation and maintenance. Professional installation and electrical hookup by qualified personnel are recommended.
Operator training is recommended to ensure safe and accurate operation. Many suppliers offer training, manuals and setup assistance—confirm availability and whether training is included or available for an extra fee.
Warranty terms, availability of spare parts and after-sales service are not specified in the basic product description. Ask the supplier for details on warranty length, what is covered, spare parts lead times and available service contracts.
The machine is sold as a single item; packaged dimensions are 220 x 160 x 170 cm with a gross weight of about 500 kg. Shipping typically requires freight transport and equipment (forklift/crane) for unloading and installation—coordinate with the supplier and freight carrier for delivery arrangements.
