Want to take my woodworks to next level, so far my only 2 real tools have been a really good handsaw and a powersander, I have bosch miter saw as well but it can't cut wide/thick enough boards I need so a regular handsaw does the trick before I save up some more $ and buy better.
So far I have been just trying to buy as straight as possible boards and sanding the dung out of them but it takes sooooooo much time and effort and the end result still isn't the best ,and I have to spend much more cash as well to buy those perfect boards and it takes time finding them as well...
I thought I would just wait for an good ebay deal and get a Makita 2012nb Planer/thicknesser but I found this forum and now Realized that the Makita 2012nb is Just a thicknesser and I need to get planner as well, is it really true?
I needed something which will get uneven/not perfect rough sawn timber all straight and shiny , I really don't care that much about thicknesing them to the exact mm at this stage but I do need the planning part where I can take regular timber and make it perfectly straight and even ready to be used for furniture making I thought that the Makita 2012nb does that since Its obviously called a Planer but now got confused..
My Max max max budget is around ~500-600quid for a used 240v unit , I would rather buy higher quality used stuff than Brand new cheaper stuff , since I don't really want to buy cheap and buy twice.
Btw one more question, are these manual miter saws any good?
With just my handsaw I can saw pretty straight lanes but still sometimes they come out not 100% perfect, The good miter saws which can saw the 10cm+ thick beams in one go are bloody expensive and not in the budget as for now when I can still make do with just doing it manually :roll:
