First Planer / Thicknesser for small workshop. Considering Kity 439 or 2636. Either one will have to be moved to the centre of shed when in use.
Was first thinking of going with the Kity 2636 because of cast iron tables etc. but felt that if I have to move it into middle of shed for use maybe 439 would be better being under 1/4 of the weight.
That said the overall footprint dimensions may not be that different and with a good trolley maybe I should go for the 2636 - but I can't be sure of it's exact footprint it it is also not online (DM tools lists it as 1085 x 610 x 950mm) but this makes it only slightly bigger than the 439 which seems unlikely?
What do you think about the idea of moving the 636 vs the 439 to the middle of a small workshop every time I need to dimension boards? Would moving the 636 mess around with calibrations, would it just be too heavy?
Cheers , Paul
