Page 11: Function
The individual attachments can be exchanged for another attachment in a few easy steps. EDER Bark Stripper Set ESG-A56 Field of application: For peeling logs of any diameter. The design of the cylinder results in high cutting performance with minimum effort. - Page 12 EDER Curved Planer Set ERH-A56 Field of application: For planing round, flat or curved wood surfaces up to 30 cm diameter. The design of the cylinder results in high cutting performance with minimum effort. The knives mounted on the rotating cylinder are continuously adjustable, allowing you to set both the cutting radius and the cutting depth according to the desired chip thickness.
- Page 13 EDER Carving Cutter Set ESF-A56 Field of application: For milling channels and grooves in wood surfaces, e.g. when building log houses, children's playgrounds, carving sculptures and in similar projects. The design of the milling head results in high cutting performance with minimum effort.
