MAFELL NFU 50 grooving cutter

MAFELL NFU 50 is a professional grooving machine developed for demanding routing work in timber construction. The powerful 2300 W CUprex motor delivers high performance and strong pulling power for routing large grooves and recesses in solid wood and panel materials. The machine allows routing up to 60 mm wide and up to 50 mm deep routing.

NFU 50 is designed for versatile use. It is suitable for longitudinal and cross grooves, tenons, making infills in truss and floor constructions, and routing notches up to 45°. With the included L-guide, individual tenons can be made efficiently and precisely.

The machine's design combines durability with precisely manufactured components. The light die-cast aluminium-magnesium housing and impact-resistant glass-fibre-reinforced plastic parts are designed for professional use in demanding conditions. The 2-in-1 system allows quick, convenient routing depth adjustment.

Dust extraction is supported by the swivelling 58 mm extraction port, which can be set to a suitable position with a locking mechanism. This is especially useful for work producing a lot of chips. The machine can be released from the guide rail at the push of a button and then used freehand or on the MAFELL F guide rail system.

Safety and controlled work are supported by the hydraulic brake, which stops the cutting tool in about three seconds after switching off. A flashing LED indicates the tool is still rotating. The included guide allows a maximum 370 mm routing length, while optional MAFELL F guide rails extend the possibilities for precise guided routing.
