I'm looking for a thicknesser...

[rileytoolworks]

As the title really.
Just got a planer so now I'm looking for a portable thicknesser.
Anyone got any advice or suggestions?
I would prefer second hand (due to budgetary restraints), but could save up for new if I HAD to!
Thanks.

DeWalt dw733 is the common recommendation

 

[rileytoolworks]

Yeah, that's the direction I'm leaning in.
Trying to do the man maths to justify a new one at the moment though...

There was a guy in Dorset recently (stuartpaul, I think?) selling an Axminster thicknesser, which may still be available?

Hi,

I have had an Axminster thicknesses for a number of years now. I think the date of manufacture was 1999
in all this time it has always done a great job no matter what I have feed into it.
it is a little noisy but I expect they all are.
my only tip no matter what you buy is spend a little time in setting it up as accurately as possible.

Ahem...I still have the Delta thicknesser for sale...which, until they stopped making it, was the thicknesser of choice. Complete with stand, set of spare blades and a spare belt.

I have a dewalt 733 I am considering selling. It has had very little use and is as new. It would have to be collected from Leeds . Anybody interested let me know

Riley, there's a DW733 on fleabay at the moment.

I was looking for £250 and that includes the stand, spare set of new blade and a spare belt. I'll also throw in a vertical digital measuring scale that's fixed to it.
