If you are looking for a versatile and reliable carpentry machine, the Mondial woodworking machine represents an excellent solution for any artisan or semi-professional workshop. We are talking about a machine that combines various useful functions in a single structure, allowing you to save space without sacrificing the quality of work. The Combined Mondial is a robust model and, although used, with some improvements such as the redone electrical system, it still offers excellent performance.
Visually, the Combined Mondial presents itself as a compact and functional machine, with a cast iron and steel structure that guarantees maximum stability during use. The design is practical, designed for intensive use in small and medium-sized carpentry environments. With two single-phase motors, the Mondial Combination is powered by domestic current (220V), which makes it easily usable even in non-industrial contexts.
The general dimensions of the machine are compact, with a width of approximately 250 mm for the surface and thickness planer, ensuring an excellent balance between performance and size. Despite the considerable weight of the structure, which gives it solidity during processing, it can be maneuvered quite easily in confined spaces.
The Mondial woodworking machine integrates four main functions that make it a multi-purpose machine: surface planer , thickness planer , spindle moulder , circular saw , and mortiser . Here are the details of the components and their characteristics:
Surface and thickness planer : With a working width of 250 mm , the planer is ideal for processing medium-sized pieces of wood, perfect for sanding and grinding surfaces of panels and boards. The cutting depth adjustment is precise, thanks to the control handwheel which allows you to easily set the height of the table.
Spindle moulder : This component allows you to create shapes and joints. The spindle moulder is compatible with various woodworking tools, making it extremely versatile for detailed work and finishing. Thanks to the robustness of the support and the precision in height adjustment, the moulder can process pieces of various sizes with ease.
Circular saw : Mounted directly on the structure, the Combinata Mondial allows precise cuts on wooden panels and boards. The possibility of tilting the blade up to 45° makes the machine even more versatile for angled cuts, for example for frames or 45° joints. The blade diameter is ideal for cutting medium thickness materials.
Mortiser : The inclusion of a mortiser makes it possible to create holes and joints, which are fundamental in many carpentry processes, such as the construction of doors and windows. The vertical movement of the drill is smooth and precise, offering excellent results without the need for additional tools.
Using the Mondial Combination is simple thanks to the practical interface and its multifunctional nature. Here is a quick guide on how to make the most of its features:
Flush planing : Place the piece of wood on the planer and use the hand wheel to adjust the depth of cut. 250 mm width of the surface to obtain a perfectly smooth surface.
Using the moulder : Insert the desired machining tool, adjust the height and begin the shaping or milling process. The spindle moulder allows the processing of shaped elements with millimetric precision, ideal for fine carpentry work.
Cutting with circular saw : The blade tiltable up to 45° allows straight or angled cuts on boards or panels. To improve precision, use the adjustable side guides to keep the workpiece stable while cutting.
Mortising : Insert the mortising bit suitable for the type of hole you want to create. Place the piece on the surface and activate the vertical movement of the drill.
The Mondial Combined can be used with various accessories to extend its capabilities. Among the most common:
To obtain the best results from a Combined Mondial , it is important to consider the rotation speed of the blades and tools of the spindle moulder . The basic formula for calculating the optimal cutting speed is:
V = π x D x N / 60
Where:
To ensure an optimal finish, be sure to adjust the speed based on the type of material and thickness of the workpiece.
Maintenance of the Combined Mondial is simple, but essential to ensure its longevity. It is advisable:
If the machine does not comply with CE standards, it is important to carry out a complete check of the electrical system and the safety of the machinery. Considering that the electrical system has been redone, the necessary upgrades have probably already been taken into account, but it is essential to check that there are adequate protective devices, such as emergency buttons and guards for moving blades.
The Combinata Mondial is used in various woodworking sectors, such as artisanal carpentry shops, semi-professional workshops and small companies producing custom-made furniture. Its ability to perform different functions in a single machine makes it ideal for those looking for a compact and versatile solution.
Buying a used Combined Mondial offers numerous advantages. First of all, the price is significantly lower than a new machine, while still guaranteeing high performance. Secondly, with the electrical system redone, you can benefit from a machine in excellent condition and ready for use. Furthermore, the robustness and construction quality of the Combinata Mondial make it a long-lasting investment, even as a used machine.
