Our 80 years’ experience in the production of high-quality woodworking machines not only enhances our profile, but it also provides extensive knowledge. This starts with jointing as a basis for perfect results, and transfers to planing and the combination of both, culminating in profiling the entire width. Wherever there is a need for planing, high-performance machines are required, which are both user-friendly and efficient – and quiet as well.

Customisation Options
The vast range of optional accessories available to go with the T54 can turn this from an already excellent planer into a stunning machine. The control console if purchased will give electronic control of the fence and the cutting depth can be set quickly and accurately between 0-8mm with a digital read out keeping you informed of what’s going on.
SUVA Bridge Guard, 5.5kw Motor
The SUVA bridge guard is an adaptable, safe and modern safety device and will prove to be invaluable in use. The 5.5kw motor with its soft start is electronically braked and has been designed for full industrial use. This heavy (approx 1000kg) machine makes a perfect companion to the T45 Thicknesser and would be an asset in any woodworking shop where many years of heavy use is envisioned.
TERSA Z2
The TERSA solid steel cutter block Z2 on the T54 offers many practical advantages: The high running smoothness in the precision bearings and the exact positioning of the positive fitting reversible blades results in an extremely accurate cutting circle - and thus the best conditions for cleanly planed surfaces. The TERSA reversible blades are available in four different qualities, i.e. for all tasks, and the cutter block can also be delivered as a Z4 cutter block on request. Changing the blades takes less than a minute per blade. With a range a different block and blade combinations available you can be sure of finding the right one for your task.
The T54 surfacer is a superb workhorse of a machine designed to be as accurate in years to come as it is on the first day. The smooth running rip fence has an integrated auxiliary fence to enable quick and precise operation and the ball bearing guided jointing fence runs smoothly and without tilting. Chamfering can be done very simply with any angle between 90° and 45° available and can be set quickly with the user friendly one handed operation.
Clever combination saves space
Unlike combination machines, the MARTIN T45 and T54 function without the need for timeconsuming changes and, thanks to the spacesaving installation, both of the machines fit together in small footprint. In contrast to the combination machines, both MARTIN machines can also be operated at the same time and because of their close proximity to one another, they can even be operated by one person.
The dust collection ports can be attached to either the left or right-hand side of the T45, allowing you to optimise your dust collection system without restricting material and work flow within your facility. Of course, both T45 Contour machines can also be combined with the T54 for a perfect planing and profiling center. You can create unique possibilities with this duo, going far beyond the combinations that have been familiar to our industry so far.
Perfect end results in no time at all
Perfect end results can only be obtained with perfectly jointed material. The T54 offers the ideal conditions to create unequalled precision. The smooth-running fence with integrated auxiliary fenceenables quick and precise jointing operations. The fence runs smoothly and without tilting on ball bearing guided courses – as precise years later as on the very first day. Chamfers can also be machined in a flash, because any angle between 90° and 45°can be set quickly with the manually operated controls.
Everything down to preference
The quick and precise setting for the depth of the cut between 0-8 mm is actuated electrically with a clear, easy to read scale. The centralised control panel features depth of cut setting and the start button for the cutting spindle.
The optional T544 fence top mounted control console offers even more comfort to the operator, allowing the controls to ride in and out with the fence, keeping them easily in reach. The digital depth of cut display has a resolution of 0.1mm.
Safety comes as standard
It does not matter whether you are face jointing or edge jointing, the modern SUVA jointer guard is a quick and safe safety device that has become standard equipment in European shops. An auxiliary fence is integrated into the main jointer fence so that small, narrow workpieces can also be fed safely over the machine table. Furthermore, a mount for a power feeder also comes as standard equipment. The T54 comes complete with an automatic star-delta starter connection and a wear free electronic brake.
The best conditions for perfect results
The two-knife TERSA solid steel cutterhead on the T54 offers many practical advantages: The smoothness in the precision bearings and the exact positioning of the positive fitting, reversible TERSA knives results in one of the most extremely accurate cutting circles obtainable, thereby resulting in a smooth and accurate planed finish. The TERSA reversible knives are available in four different types (chrome steel, HSS, M42 and carbide). The cutterhead can also be supplied in a four-knife configuration as well. As always, changing the TERSA knives takes less than a minute per blade.
Xplane solid steel cutter block
Martin's own design - this 3 row cutter block is a level above the rest. Quiet and smooth running leaving an incredible finish on any grade of wood. Due to the sheering action, the motor stress is reduced along with operators input. Compared to others, Martin run their spiral blocks at a higher speed of 6000rpm, again to increase the quality of the finish. From our experience, cutters last longer and planed pieces need less finishing. We rarely sell any other type of cutter block!
