    What accuracy from an EB HC260 planer/thicknesser.

    What have other users of this machine, and similar ones, achieved - particularly in thicknessing mode. I have started to set mine up, having had it for several months whilst I cleared space to be able to operate it. I have read other 'setup' posts and decided to check what I could achieve in...
