Why choose the M4P TP 330 S with spiral cutterhead?
The M4P TP 330 S is designed for advanced hobbyists, artisan woodworkers, installers, and small workshops requiring boards, strips, and beams to be planed to a uniform thickness. Its compact design and approximate weight of 31 kg make it suitable for mobile use, whether in the workshop or directly on the job site.
The key technical feature is the helical cutterhead with 30 carbide inserts. This configuration reduces noise, improves surface quality, and allows for the servicing of individual inserts in the event of wear or localized damage. The carbide inserts can be rotated or replaced individually, reducing maintenance time compared to replacing the entire set of blades.

Krollit technical tip
To achieve a consistent finish, it is recommended to connect the machine to a compatible dust extractor (Ø 50 / 100 mm connection) and use progressive passes. Although the maximum stated material removal is 2.8 mm, it is preferable to reduce the depth of cut when working with hard, knotty, or irregular wood to improve surface quality and reduce strain on the motor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the M4P TP 330 S have a spiral cutterhead?
Yes, the M4P TP 330 S is equipped with a spiral cutterhead featuring 30 carbide (HM) inserts. This solution reduces noise and improves the finish compared to traditional blades.
What is the maximum planing width?
The maximum planing width is 330 mm.
What is the maximum working height?
The planing height ranges from 5 to 155 mm.
Does the M4P TP 330 S operate on 230 V?
Yes, the machine runs on a 230 V power supply. It is therefore suitable for environments where a three-phase line is not available, provided the electrical system is correctly sized.
What is the difference between a thickness planer and a jointer-planer?
A thickness planer is used to bring the workpiece to a uniform thickness. A jointer-planer combination machine, however, performs two functions: jointing (surfacing) to create a flat reference face, and thicknessing to ensure uniform thickness.
Are the spiral cutterhead inserts replaceable?
Yes, the carbide (HM) inserts can be rotated or replaced individually in the event of wear or localized damage.
Is a dust extractor required to use this planer?
Yes, using a dust extractor connected to the Ø 50 / 100 mm port is recommended. Dust extraction helps remove chips and dust, improving cleanliness, visibility, and safety during operation.
