    Thickness planer

    I bought the Titan one from Screwfix and returned it because i n truth I didn;t reaally need it - then.

    Clock body in oak - 3rd time lucky!

    Thanks mate, I need to look at some better cutters I'm using bog standard router ones atm. My Makita clone will only go down to about 14000 rpm I reckon, although sharper cutters would enable a faster feed speed I'm guessing.
