As a multi-functional and economical construction connector for the assembly of two parts, the Hoffmann Key itself was a brilliant discovery – so too was the development of the basic Hoffmann MU-2 routing machine. Now, after almost a quarter of a century in service, it has been re-launched – enter the new MU-3. This thoroughly revised machine has been reworked, updated and adapted to suit the current and future needs of the industry.
Ergonomic, user-friendly as well as up-to-date, the new MU-3 is available in four versions. The MU-3 Entry level version is for the quick and precise routing of dovetail slots. The MU-3 D Digital version, with electronic two-axis display for the adjustable routing depth as well as the positioning of the centre fence for the routed slot location, is ideal for high precision work.
The MU-3 P Pneumatic version is for series production and high throughput, operated by foot-pedal control, while the MU-3 PD Pneumatic/Digital version is the top machine, with the highest operating comfort for a wide range of requirements. Functional features are similar to MU-3 P, with a digital two-axis display for the adjustable routing depth as well as the positioning of the centre fence for the routed slot location.
A new two-function hand lever ensures even faster machine cycles when routing smaller workpieces, while the scale tapes in the table and now also in the rear fences assist the quick and precise positioning of the workpieces.
All versions of the new MU-3 routing machine are equipped with a motor carriage which has vernier adjustment for the fine setting of the router cutter and hence the tension of the joint.
