The A.C.C. is a sectional, mechanical device designed and developed by Newman Whitney to offset the fixed bottom head cut found on conventional knife planers. This device provides more equal cut distribution between the top and bottom cutterheads. Varying bottom head cut provides more equal distribution of hit-and-miss surfaces on both sides of the lumber which results in increased yield and lumber grade improvement. Yield increases of 5% to 20% can be obtained with use of the A.C.C. option.

The Accurate Proscale is now a standard feature on most of our Rough Mill Planers.  The digital indicator from Proscale provides quick and easy setup for changes in finished lumber thickness. This option coupled with the power hoist retro-fit facilitates push button dimension changes, reducing the delays involved with the numerous thickness changes required in today`s  modern planer mills. The readout mode can easily be changed between inch (fraction and decimal equivalent) and metric. Following regular knife maintenance, recalibration is simple and easy.
