I bought this sander in Spring last year to help in refurbishing some garden furniture. It did the job, but I haven't used it since! It's a beast - 1200W and 6KG but is capable of some serious sanding! It's virtually as new and comes with: Instruction Manual J-Clamps and support pad for...

How about Rustins Plastic Coating? Made for the job.

Is there a decimal point missing? IE not 214, but 21.4

How about a brushless 3-phase 200W DC motor with an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and a PWM variable control? Input DC voltage can be from say 8 - 18V or higher. I've attached a photo of an example setup. The small 230W motor can take 8 - 14V. I'm not sure about the larger motor wattage...

I have an interest, but sadly not near £200. Record have a Winter Promotion right now at £219.99 and I would order, but I don't have a supplier anywhere near. Carriage over 30KG gets expensive. Where in Essex are you?

I would recommend Totton Timber just outside Southampton. Good stocks of unsorted redwood and very impressive stocks of hardwood boards. Also good for plywood and MRMDF.

It's on an Ebay auction - here

I have the 2012NB. I previously had a Triton thicknesser but the annoying snipe was wasting wood and I couldn't do anything about it. The Makita is beautifully built in comparison, and the very minor snipe, head lock, depth stop and adjustment are great features. The extraction hood has a...

Hi - It is still available. I must admit I'd forgotten this thread, but it is indeed ready to go as advertised.
