Having gradually built up my workshop over a few years, it is now time to invest in a planer thicknesser.
I have absolutely no experience in this field, and so would be grateful for some advice from the experts.
I will only be using the machine on a hobby basis. Ideally I would like it to be able to handle boards of 10" width or more.
It must be single phase, easy to set up and convert from one mode to the other, and not too huge, as space is somewhat limited.
My budget is £500, but I could stretch a point to circa £700 if there was an overriding benefit in so doing.
I have been considering the DeWalt one (£700 on offer at the moment), also the yellow one (can't remember the model) in the Axminster catalogue (£500)
Fire away with the advice guys and girls - I am ready!
