The Wood-Mizer MP280 planer/moulder makes a perfect solution for medium and large woodworking companies that want to supply their customers with premium wood products, such as floorboards, sidings, panels, door and window frames, decorative elements, and more.
The MP280 is a four-sided planer and moulder designed for continuous throughfeed processing of solid wood stock. It simultaneously machines all four faces of a workpiece in a single pass, combining planing, moulding, and profiling capabilities in one operation. This integrated approach eliminates the need for multiple machine setups and significantly reduces handling time for medium to large-scale production environments. The machine is powered by electric motors totaling 13.78 kW, driving the cutterheads at 6,000 rpm to deliver consistent, high-quality surface finishes across all working faces. The independently operable motors and feed system enable operators to optimize energy consumption and minimize noise generation during operation—a critical advantage in shared workshop environments. The user-friendly control panel provides straightforward management of motor speeds and feed rates, allowing quick adjustments between different wood species and profile requirements without requiring extensive technical knowledge. The MP280 is engineered for medium to large woodworking manufacturers producing dimensionally finished products at volume—including flooring, siding, mouldings, and architectural trim. It accommodates solid wood stock in various species and cross-sections, making it suitable for both hardwood and softwood processing. Production capacity and output quality make this machine cost-effective for shops operating 20+ hours weekly and processing 50+ linear meters of material daily. Within the four-sided planer category, the MP280 balances automation with operator control, positioning it between entry-level machines and fully automated industrial systems. The 6,000 rpm cutterhead speed and independent motor control represent industry-standard performance for this machine class, suitable for custom profiles and specialty mouldings while maintaining throughput rates required for commercial production.
