Chapter 3: Operation Modes – Planer vs. Thicknesser
One of the most confusing aspects for new users is switching between surface planing (jointing) and thicknessing. The Manual Alpina It 31015 dedicates an entire chapter to this transition.
Jointing Long Boards (Over 2 meters)
The manual suggests building temporary roller supports. The infeed table should be set to a lower height for the first 1/3 of the board, allowing the weight to pass without lifting the cutter head.
The Case: 42mm of Satinized Steel
The IT 31015 typically comes in a 42mm satin-brushed stainless steel case. The brushing runs horizontally on the lugs and vertically on the case sides—a subtle detail that plays with light. The bezel is thin, stepped, and also brushed, giving maximum real estate to the crystal (sapphire, with AR coating on the inside only—again, to prevent external coating from scratching).
