    For Sale Wadkin BOAS 12" Planer Thicknesser- 3phase

    Hi All, Looking to sell my 12" boas due to upgrading to a bigger machine. Sad to move it on as its a lovely machine to use and they just build them like the used to. It's on a 3phase motor (5hp I think?) Certainly not lacking in power, separate 2 speed motor for the thicknesser. Comes with...

    MAC Timbers destroyed by devastating fire.

    He did, but the single dry powder extinguisher wasn't enough. I'm certainly going to add more to my workshop.

    Noise control

    Just remember that your outside shed will need to breathe a little. I have a felder af22 in a little 6 x 4 shed outside, not too loud, but the air pressure inside causes the shed doors and walls to bow out when turned on - I don't have any venting other than the natural gaps in the doors/roof...

    Which Dehumidifier?

    Hi Doug, I definitely would NOT recommend Meaco, I've had DDL7 and now a DDL8 Zambezi. Both are dessicant type and were used 24/7 in my workshop. Despite regular maintenance and good dust control, they failed on average every 6months and had to go back to Meaco repair (cambs). They were very...
