Frequently asked
Can this machine handle both hardwood and softwood without changing settings?
Yes, the 4200 RPM cutter block and cast-iron base adapt to various wood densities with standard feed rates.
Is the fence system compatible with standard miter gauge accessories?
The manual fence supports standard 3/8-inch and metric slot configurations for reliable accessory mounting.
How is chip and sawdust managed during continuous operation?
The open-frame construction allows direct connection to standard shop vacuum or dust collection systems.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for the cutter block?
Inspect cutter knives every 50 operating hours and lubricate fence rails weekly for smooth tilting action.
More questions buyers ask
What is a surface planer with a circular saw used for?
A combination machine like the Radhekrishna RKI series is used to flatten and smooth the surface of wood (planing) and to make straight cuts (sawing). It's a versatile tool for woodworking shops, saving space by combining two essential functions.
What is the price of a Radhekrishna Surface Planer in India?
The price of a Radhekrishna RKI Surface Planer varies depending on the model, motor power (HP), and size. Our prices start from approximately ₹40,000. Please select a specific model to see the exact price.
What are the different models available for the Radhekrishna RKI series?
The RKI series includes several models such as the RKI-112 (2 HP, 13"x72" top), RKI-115 (3 HP, 24" width), and RKI-116 (3 HP, 602mm width), each designed for different workloads and capacities.
What is the power requirement for the RKI Surface Planer?
The power requirement depends on the model. The RKI-112 requires a 2 HP motor, while the larger RKI-115 and RKI-116 models require a 3 HP motor. Ensure your workshop has the appropriate power supply.
What is the typical blade size for the circular saw attachment?
The circular saw capacity is typically 12 inches (304mm) for models like the RKI-112, allowing for substantial cutting depth for various woodworking projects.
Is the Radhekrishna RKI series suitable for heavy-duty work?
Yes, the models with 3 HP motors (RKI-115, RKI-116) are built with a robust casting body and are designed for heavy-duty, continuous use in professional woodworking and fabrication shops.
What is the difference between a surface planer and a thickness planer?
A surface planer (or jointer) is used to create a flat, true surface on one face of a board. A thickness planer is used to make the opposite face parallel to the first and to bring the board to a specific thickness. This machine is a surface planer.
Can I get a GST invoice for my purchase?
Yes, we provide a proper GST invoice for all purchases, allowing you to claim input tax credit for your business.
Do you offer delivery across India for these machines?
Absolutely. We offer pan-India delivery for all our industrial machinery, ensuring safe and timely delivery to your workshop or factory.
Who should choose the RKI-112 2HP Surface Planer?
The RKI-112 with its 2 HP motor and 13-inch width is ideal for small to medium-sized workshops, furniture makers, and serious hobbyists who need a reliable machine for precise planing and cutting without the power requirements of larger industrial models.
Who is the RKI-115 3HP model best for?
The RKI-115 is designed for professional woodworking shops that handle larger timber. Its powerful 3 HP motor and wider 24-inch capacity make it suitable for high-volume work and heavy-duty planing tasks.
Who should buy the RKI-116 3HP Surface Planer?
The RKI-116 is the choice for industrial applications and fabrication shops requiring continuous operation. It shares the powerful 3 HP motor with the RKI-115 but may have different table configurations, making it a robust workhorse for demanding environments.
What is the main difference between the RKI-112 and the RKI-115/116 models?
The primary difference is power and capacity. The RKI-112 has a 2 HP motor and a narrower working width, making it suitable for smaller jobs. The RKI-115 and RKI-116 have a more powerful 3 HP motor and a wider capacity, designed for larger timber and industrial use.
Are the 3 HP models (RKI-115 and RKI-116) identical?
While both the RKI-115 and RKI-116 feature a 3 HP motor, they have slightly different working widths (24"/609mm vs 602mm) and may have other minor differences in table length or construction. The RKI-116 is generally positioned for the most demanding, continuous industrial applications.
Why choose a Radhekrishna RKI machine over other brands?
Radhekrishna is a 'Made in India' brand known for its robust, casting-body construction and reliable performance. Choosing an RKI machine means you get a durable, high-performance tool with readily available service and spares, specifically designed for Indian workshop conditions.
