MP280 Wood-Mizer 4-Sided Planer / Moulder
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 operationโa 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 volumeโincluding 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.
Applications
custom millwork and architectural elements
medium workshopHigh-end custom millwork shops utilize the MP280 for small-to-medium batch production of architectural elements including rails, stiles, and specialty trim components. The independent motor control enables fine-tuned feed rates for delicate figured hardwoods, while the four-sided capability eliminates multiple setups and reduces material handling. This application suits shops producing 15-50 linear meters weekly of custom profiles where surface quality and dimensional consistency directly impact finished product value.
siding and cladding production
industrial workshopThe MP280 finishes rough lumber into engineered siding blanks with consistent dimensions and surface quality, processing all faces in a single throughfeed pass. The 13.78 kW motor capacity handles the sustained demand of high-volume siding production, where energy efficiency and noise reduction support continuous operation in manufacturing environments. Suitable for producers requiring 100+ linear meters daily of dimensionally precise cladding stock.
moulding and trim production
medium workshopCustom profile and architectural trim manufacturers use the MP280 to machine complex moulding designs into solid wood blanks, combining planing and profiling in a single operation. The user-friendly control panel allows quick changeover between different profiles, and independent motor operation enables feed rate adjustment for delicate or figured wood species. This application suits shops producing 30-100 linear meters of specialty moulding weekly for residential and commercial construction projects.
flooring production
industrial workshopThe MP280 processes rough-sawn or kiln-dried lumber into finished flooring blanks in a single pass, simultaneously planing all four faces to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and consistent thickness. The 6,000 rpm cutterheads deliver the surface quality required for pre-finished and unfinished hardwood and engineered flooring, eliminating secondary sanding operations for many applications. Medium to large flooring manufacturers can achieve 50+ linear meters daily output while reducing labor costs and machine footprint compared to multi-stage processing lines.
