Wood-Mizer introduces the MP180 Jointer Planer Moulder as a three-in-one woodworking machine able to produce tongue and groove paneling, shiplap, trim, and more. Starting at $7,995 USD, the MP180 takes the versatile functionality of the Wood-Mizer MP160 Jointer/Planer and adds a vertical side cutter head to the planer table. The MP180 joins the established Wood-Mizer range of woodworking products that includes jointer/planers, two-sided planer/moulders, four-sided planer/moulders, slab flattening machines, dust collection systems, planer blades, moulder knives, and more.
Similar to the MP160 Jointer/Planer, the MP180 efficiently shares one horizontal cutter between two cast iron tables to produce straight-edged boards with the top jointer table and evenly planed boards with the bottom planer table. Switching between jointing and planing is done easily by moving the board from one table to the other without needing to adjust the table or stop the cutter or extractor. When jointing boards on the upper table, an adjustable board fence tilts up to 45° and locks into place for angled boards.
In addition, the MP180 features one vertical side cutter that can be fitted with moulding profile knives. The vertical side cutter moulds material on one side with each pass through the bottom planer table. With the MP180, moulding material on two sides for profiles like tongue and groove can be completed in only two passes. When planing and moulding boards on the bottom table, two power feed rollers move the board through the horizontal cutter and vertical side cutter at a variable speed.
MP180 Jointer Planer Moulder Features
- Starting at $7,995 USD
- 3-in-1 jointer, planer, moulder combo
- Switch between jointing, planing, and moulding without adjusting the table or stopping the cutters
- Jointing capacity: 9" wide
- Adjustable jointer board fence up to 45°
- 1-sided planing capacity: 16" wide x 9-1/2" high
- 2-sided planing/moulding capacity: 12" wide x 2" high (4” high with optional side cutter head)
- 6-39 fpm variable feed for planing and moulding
- Heavy-duty cast iron tables and sheet steel chassis

“Wood-Mizer is dedicated to providing the best-in-class equipment for sawmillers and woodworkers throughout the world,” said John Smith, Wood-Mizer CEO. “The MP180 is a unique and cost-effective machine that produces the professional results of a jointer, planer, and moulder in one compact footprint.”
The MP180 Jointer Planer Moulder ships on a pallet and requires minimal assembly. Planer blades, moulder knives, and dust collection systems are also available from Wood-Mizer.

Cleereman Industries, one of the leading manufacturers of top-quality sawmill equipment, is proud to announce the purchase of CPF Manufacturing in Crandon Wi. CPF; a fully equipped and staffed, fabricating and machining facility. Paul Cleereman, VP of Cleereman Industries, said this new facility will be for the Cleereman Edger and Bandmill divisions along with some other Cleereman product lines. With our new Edger line and building bandmills for our Lumber-Pro’s this purchase made sense. The 20,000 square foot facility is equipped with overhead cranes and has large machining capabilities that include three large boring bars, turning centers, drill presses, etc. as well as a full range of large welding positioners and several welders. The facility also has a large drive through media blast cabinet that is used for complete paint and rust removal of large equipment. This will be extremely useful when rebuilding Cleereman equipment for customers.
The newly acquired facility had a long-standing business relationship with Cleereman Industries for over 30 years and did a lot of machine work for Cleereman Industries including our new Edger Boxes. Due to the unexpected death of Larry Colburn one of the owners and a good friend of Cleereman Industries the opportunity arose to purchase the facility and create a stable and ongoing employment for all of the employees and the Crandon community. As well as providing a turn-key solution to Cleereman Industries for increasing demand for not only our Edger line but all lines of Cleereman equipment.
The Crandon location also allows us to draw from a different talent pool of employees from a different region then our current Newald facility. Cleereman looks forward to providing Crandon and the surrounding communities with great employment opportunities.
