Product Description
Refurbished TSM-35 230v 3 phase Pocket Cutter Machine


This is a TSM-35 230v 3 phase machine that we used for testing in the Castle shop. Unit has been completely gone through and performs as new. Machine has many scuffs and scratches as seen by the examples in the pictures. The workdeck where the router bit comes up to cut the pocket shows some wear where the router bit has touched the edges of the opening. The machine has our older control board (non-plc version) but performs the same as the new plc versions. Same warranty as a new machine at 1 year. Contact Phil at (707) 665-1930 with any questions.
TSM-30 series features heavy duty construction throughout, with easy, top-down access for quick tooling changes. Designed for continuous or multi-shift production in a broad variety of woodworking manufacturing environments, and PLC controlled for better performance and easier troubleshooting, the TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutters are available in three different voltage options:
- TSM-31 Single Phase 230V
- TSM-35 Three Phase 230V
- TSM-35 Three Phase 460V
Each cuts the patented, 6 degree, low-angle Castle pocket.
Powerful and extremely durable induction motors drive the pocket cutting spindle and all models use a high-torque, heavy-duty air motor - specifically designed for Castle - to drive the pilot bit. Both operations - pocket cutting and pilot hole drilling - are completed in a single cycle.
Adjustable indexing stops are built into the top for quick part transitions during high production shifts. A favorite among cabinet, furniture, mobile home, RV manufacturers and more, these premier woodworking shop tools can produce more than a quarter million pockets per month for years on end with minimal maintenance.
