We have a high-quality, used Italian-made Sicar S630A Thicknesser in good condition for sale.

Designed for accurate planing of wide boards and production work, this machine features cast-iron tables and a robust feed system ideal for cabinet shops, joineries, and schools needing a consistent finish and easy setup.

Control Overview What Does What
Feed speed selector (lever, lower left side panel): two-speed mechanical gearbox

Slow: for finer finish and difficult grain

Fast: for higher throughput on softwoods/straight grain

(Always change speeds with the machine stopped)

Thickness scale (left of mouth): shows the table-to-cutter distance (finished thickness), with red pointer

Table raise/lower (rocker switch ? / ? on front panel): powered rise/fall of the thicknessing table for fine setting

Indexed red selector (top of panel): quick reference dial to repeat common settings. Works with the raise/lower switch as a guide not a digital readout

Main motor controls:

Green = Start

Red = Stop

Emergency stop (red mushroom, lower front panel): latches power off; twist to release before restarting

Main isolator (black rotary switch, lower front panel): master on/off for the whole machine
