Thicknesser v Planner Thicknesser ?

<< < (2/2)

ru55ell1:
Many thanks to all of you for the information, looks like ebay for a planner thicknesser :-)

Doug Barratt:
Personally I`ve always gone for separate machines, a stand alone surface planer & a stand alone thicknesser. Combined machines are on the whole a pain & involve a lot of faffing especially when running a lot of stock.

That said if you can find a machine that doesn`t involved lifting & lowering the beds to change from one mode of planing to another that would be a bonus. Wadkin made this type & they are well worth getting hold of.




Cheers.

Iv'e got an old INCA Model 450, It's got two 10" blades and is free standing, to thickness
you just remove the outfeed table and it does the business all day long if I want it to. It
must be 30years old if it's a day, it cost me a new set of blades.
