Looking for a small planer bought a monster

[buffalobill]

Been looking for a small used planer dewalt/makita or similar for a while, but this week i got an offer i couldnt resist so i ended up buying a 60 cm or 24 inch planer, the thing is built like a tank, weighs about 850 kg. I payed 300 £ for it wich is about half price of a new dewalt so i feel i made a good deal.

How big is your workshop if you were only looking for a small one?

Wow, that will last another lifetime or two. Excellent.

BTW, in the UK that would be called a thicknesser, but it would be called a planer in America.
It's confusing because what we would call a planer is called a jointer in America. So the term Planer means two different machines depending on where you live.

Good luck with it, I hope it gives you many years of excellent service.
