Description of the machine:

For profiling, slotting, chamfering, trimming, sep-
arating, etc. Your MP 400 enables, e.g., precise
machining of sides and long sections such as for
doors, flaps and housing parts.
The profiling tool is height-adjustable:
On a dovetail guide, the carriage with the drive
unit can be set precisely with the help of the
scaled hand wheel (one revolution is a 1 mm
height difference, i.e., one scale graduation line
is 0.05 mm). While working, this helps you to
slowly and very accurately "feel" your way to-
wards the required profile depth as needed. The
spindle is manufactured precisely and has a
double ball bearing.
The see-through guard can be adjusted in
height, thus making it possible to adjust it to the
work piece thickness; it also functions as a hold-
down.
Additional flexibility is offered by an angle stop
and a longitudinal stop. This can be used on ei-
ther side of the profiling tool on the work table.
This makes it possible to machine a large width
area of the work piece. Also ideal for broader
strips or boards.
