For which plunge saws are 'worth' having it depends on how deep your pocket is 😉. Many use Festool... I'm not a pro and can't afford such so settled on one of the Erbauer plunge saws from my local Screwfix. Comes with 2 700mm tracks and decent clamps. I also added 2 of the Evolution 1400...

Haven't seen a mention here of this at Yandles: Saturday 20th April, 10-4... in an email recently received from them. https://www.yandles.co.uk/event/191-spring-crafts-market?goal=0_7ec16ec1b8-7d971ad591-163744418&mc_cid=7d971ad591&mc_eid=4e35edd68f

3 years from date of purchase 👍 **Note:** DOES NOT COVER FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

If using it 'upside-down' then you'd have to decide if you have enough feed for stability on the length of timbers being planed. I'm intending to make a unit to fit it into for when using in such a position - extending the infeed and outfield ends. I've seen such units for the more usual sized...

Silly me... the manual text and directions are a bit on the small side for my old eyes. Have to get the magnifying glass out to have another look 👍 Didn't get that far for adding the fence...

Instead of using the wing nuts attached to it? Did wonder if it was that simple - to dress it up on that side 😉

@Phil Pascoe At least it starts off 'slow and low' before it reaches top crescendo 😎😉. Yet to work out where the little knows (in the little envelope, in the box with the dust adapter) are used...🤔

@Joe1975 Buy a Triton TPL180 (on offer at 50% off at Yandles) and utilise it for a jointer/surface planer. 7"/180mm width. That's 1 covered. 9kg in weight... Make a unit to house it, add a sprung safety 'cover' and you're good to go at £149:99. I posted a thread with the link for it a few days...

@chemist_dan Unpacked yesterday. Checked over. It's 'heavy' and solid looking. Soft start. Noisy - to be expected. Not yet used but capable - handled correctly and not forced. Set up as @fleyh has is an alternative way to use - or even make a unit to hold it. £149.98 is better than £299.99...

I had a similar issue with a parcel sent to me. Arrived at Bristol MC OK. I attempted to chase it - that's a laugh using the contact link... Visited my local sorting office, left a print out of the tracking page and asked if they could contact Bristol MC - internal communications I thought...

Mine arrived yesterday... yet to unpack. They say 'Express delivery'. Ordered 24th, collected by FedEx late 25th and received 27th. I could have collected it quicker had I known express wasn't like *next day*! 🤔🤣

👍. Interesting setup. I already have the Triton TP125 thicknesser - works well for my needs. When I got the email from Yandles for this at the offer price I was thinking to set up as a surface plane to help with edge planning - depending on the fence. I'd seen mention of that 'accessory' not...

That put me off to start with. However, they are from a number of years ago... 5~6+? *This is advertised as an updated model*... faster motor etc. One would hope they'd resolved the problem of the base plates from when the earlier model, the reviews are on, came out. 3 year warranty... half...

Just a heads up: 50% off, less than 40 units available of this Planer. Read previous reviews/comments in an older post but just giving a heads up. £149.99 instead of £299.99... Newly updated model for 2024...

@Paddy Roxburgh "Hooked On Wood" (YouTube channel/videos & Web site - just Google hooked on wood) does some good and honest reviews of Chinese goods - this router plane included if I remember correctly. He's done a number of reviews on goods from this company - Hongdui. If buying - considering...
