Even if you get a converter that covers the horse power needed by motor ? I did read that static converter weren't the best though so I want to agree with you even though I don't like it. I'm still looking for the chance of a single phase but you never know. Wouldn't changing engine on an...

Ok. Thanks r advice. I guess I'll wait a Bit longer no rush anyway. One does not have fence indeed. And second has chip on table.

I have found 2 beauties. https://www.gumtree.com/p/planers/sedgw ... 1278215469 sedgwick-mb-planer-thicknesser-3-phase-jet-vortex-cone-extraction-/1273772833 Now regarding my 3 phase situation does any of you is using a converter ? Prices are off the roof for these bad boys. But I found...

Yeah I've seen a few on internet on second hand machine website. Looks pretty good actually. Bit only one I found are 3 phases. And that another problem for me I need to double check but I have only 240 in New workshop. So have to keep looking.

That is the reason I want a wider machine but I guess I have a jointer plane anyway. When I get rich I'm a really looking at these spiral cutters. They look pretty efficient and I like the concept. I'm gonna keep looking and see what I can find.

Haha. Cheers for your advise though.

To be honest it is likely that I can't be bothered to changed them but when you have to. Def not for an amateur workshop no. It will be used daily. Therefore the tersa head makes sens.

Memory I should be able to have mine fixed in position but I am indeed worried about the weight as in how to get it inside the workshop as there isn't big doors just normal ones. But I guess I'll worry about that later on. I will wait cause no other choice at the moment. It will be use quite...

Heimlaga. Thanks This is what I thought as well. People recommend the Sedgwick or which looks like a terrific machine but I'm worried about the 255 max width. Just a shelf as example that is 300 deep wouldn't feet and it straight away tale longer to flatten it. Not efficient. But on other hands...

No I've only used one that wasn't mine. (Landed) But I see your point. You reckon 2 different machine would be better ? I do believe so too but for money and space reason I have to go with a combi. And I think I rather have top table in way than having to reset it too often. Thanks appreciated

Thanks. I agree that fix bed sounds better. I have looked into hammer/felder and actually lost a good auction for a hammer a331 on eBay. I see a lot of charnwood and scheppach around which look like rubbish to me but I don't actually don't have any idea. The fact that you havent mention them...

Hi. I'm assuming it's been covered a few times but not recently I think. I am buying a planer/thicknesser. Now I've been a carpenter for many years on the building side of things. And I am now setting up a workshop and need a planer/thicknesser but struggling with which one. Budget ain't...
