Machine's Overview

Hoffmann X-18 Manual Dovetail Routing Machine : Entry level, manually operated dovetail routing machine to rout a single dovetail keyway with each machining cycle. For Dovetail Key sizes W-0, W-1, W-2 and W-3. Highlights include the X18 manual dovetail routing machine is a light weight, more portable model with an open base design. This machine does not require a compressed air supply. Due to its limited routing height of 2 1/4” this machine is not suitable for joining most floater frames and shadow box moulding.

Hoffmann MU3-P Pneumatic Dovetail Routing Machine : Professional level, pneumatically controlled dovetail routing machine to rout a single dovetail keyway with each machining cycle. Heavy cast aluminum construction with large, ergonomically shaped table surface, precision linear bearings, galvanized steel motor carriage with integrated motor fine adjustment.
For Dovetail Key sizes W-0, W-1, W-2, W-3 (W-4 with optional larger motor). Highlights include this pneumatically controlled dovetail routing machine is the more automated version of the MU 3 and MU3-D models. Aside from the same attributes in terms of design and built quality, the machine features two pneumatic cylinders and a pneumatic foot pedal. One short stroke cylinder is used to clamp the material the instant the foot pedal is pressed, while a second, larger cylinder is used to move the router carriage up and down. The main benefits compared to the manual machines are faster and more comfortable operation, more consistent results due to set routing feed rates and the fact that both hands can remain on the material during the routing sequence. This is an important advantage when processing longer parts.

Hoffmann PU2 with one standard router motor : Production-duty, freestanding dovetail routing machine with solid cast aluminum table and heavy steel frame. Machine is designed to rout a single dovetail keyway with each machining cycle. For Dovetail Keys sizes W-0,W-1, W-2, W-3, and W-4. Highlights include Large work surface is designed to be at a comfortable working height, the router motor is controlled by a contactor and a 4” dust collection port is located at the back for connection to a central dust collection system.

Hoffmann PP2-TF Pneumatic Dovetail Routing Machine : The Hoffmann PP2-TF (Twin Fixed) freestanding, automatic dovetail routing machine is equipped with four high-speed router motors, located at the center of the machine. The supplied 45 degree fence plate, which is guided in a keyway in the machine table, is used to accurately position the material on the table. The distance between the router bits is fixed to customer’s specifications. The minimum distance is 2 9/16” = 65mm. Machine is designed to rout two dovetail keyways into two workpieces with each machining cycle. For Dovetail Keys sizes W-0,W-1, W-2, W-3, and W-4. Highlights include Large work surface is designed to be at a comfortable working height, the router motors are controlled by a contactor and a 4” dust collection port is located at the back for connection to a central dust collection system.

Hoffmann MS35 Double Miter Saw : The Hoffmann MS35 double miter saw is designed to simultaneously cut one left and one right hand miter with each machining cycle. Accurate, repeatable miter cuts are achieved in a variety of materials, including hard and softwoods, wood related materials (MDF, plywood, particleboard), plastics and non ferrous metals such as aluminum. The heavy duty design of the saw heads and precision machined components as well as the use of industrial quality carbide tipped saw blades assures perfect cuts with no burrs or tear out. The ideal double miter saw for small and large shops when accurate and efficient miter cutting is required. Coolant misting systems for cutting aluminum profiles and automated length positioning stop and pusher systems are available as options.

MX-1 Production Double End Miter Saw : The Hoffmann MX-1 Double End Miter Saw is equipped with two sawing stations, mounted on a heavy-duty, welded steel frame. Sealed linear bearings and precision ground guide rails assure long-term reliability and accuracy. Left hand station is fixed, right hand station is manually (or automatically) moved to adjust cutting length. Cutting angles are manually and independent of each other adjusted on each side with pre-set stops and digital displays for intermediate angles. Saw heads are manufactured by Hoffmann-Germany to close tolerances and are designed for production-duty use. Standard saw blades are 400mm diameter, carbide tipped. Replaceable table inserts eliminate chipping on underside of work-piece. Pneumatic vertical material clamps are adjustable to suit different work-piece dimensions.Custom material support blocks, center stands, additional horizontal and vertical clamps and other options are available and provided as needed to meet customer’s requirements.

MORSO NM manual beaded face-frame notching machines : The MORSO NM notching machine is manually operated, light-duty notching machine for the production of beaded face-frames, French-mitered cabinet doors as well as muntin and mullion joints. While this is smallest MORSO notching machine available, the manual operation of the machine, the shape of the cutting head and the MORSO length stop fences are based on the larger NFL and NFXL models.

MORSO NLEH electro-hydraulic beaded face-frame notching machine : The MORSO NLEH is the electro-hydraulic version of the manual NFL model, with integrated oil pump, fluid reservoir and industrial PLC. All movements are controlled with touch-less proximity sensors and the two-hand safety controls on the front assure safe operation with both hands being far away from the cutting head. Due to the fixed fence design, the machine is limited to 2 3/4” wide material but if that limitation is not an issue, it is a great choice for medium to higher production levels. The machine features a heavy-duty steel frame with cast iron tabletop. The vertical travel of the cutting head, which is also made of cast-iron, can be adjusted depending on work-piece thickness in two positions with a selector switch, assuring comfortable operation. Factory-fitted cast-iron extensions tables for left and right side are included and so is a full set of MORSO U-channel fences and flip-stop (optional DGS 1000 fence system is a popular upgrade).

Hoffmann MOBIL 2500 Edgebanding Press : The Hoffmann MOBIL 2500, 3000 and 3600 series edgebanding presses are designed to quickly and precisely attach solid wood edges to panels made of common sheet goods such as MDF, particleboard, plywood, etc.

Hoffmann BH-556 Lipping Planer – 120 volt : The Hoffmann BH-556 Lipping Planer, sometimes also known as the ADLER Lipping Planer or the HEBOR Lipping Planer, has been on the market for decades and has proven its reliability in the woodworking field around the world. The machine is built for Hoffmann by the Bösch Company of Switzerland with the attention to quality and detail Swiss products are known for.
