Hi Folks,
I've just jouned the forum and am looking forward to getting to know you all as I learn and have wookwork related fun
My latest (and most serious) addidion to my workshop is a Sedwick MB planer thicknesser. Yet to arrive but boy am I looking forward to it!
So, firstly the obvious question.... Does anyone have a copy of the manual (preferably a scan or pdf) that I can use whilst commissioning, setting up etc? I've lookied on the web of course, and all I can find are copies for recent models. Mine is about 30 years old I guess - it's a green one and it looks very similar to the attached image:
Secondly, another obvious question!! When I go to collect and load the machine, what's the best way to safely lift it? I have read a post somewhere last night which describes slinging under the thicknesser table but I'm afraid (it's probably me being daft :? ) I didn't really understand where the lifting tackle was going... surely the weight can't be taken on the thicknesser table without doing some damage somewhere??
Many thanks one and all
Cheers for now,
Steve.
