Planer thicknesser

Garages are for workshops yes but heres one for you, what if you own a 1983 vw transporter and you wanna fit it out with cabinets etc, if you could drive it into your workshop to do so, would you??
I'd sooner have a multi functional space by day workshop, by night a crack house and on the weekend maybe a few forign workers on some knitting machines!
Nice xr2 by the way it brings back good memories!

Garages are for making workshops out of. Cars belong on driveways.

Catch up!

Plus, the drive's already a bit full at the moment -

Some traveller's set up camp on your drive!

Hi,

new or used, how big and how much would you like to spend?

I bought a used Kity and like it very much, easy to change over from planing to thicknessing. Setting the blades is a pain even with the Kity jig.

regards

i've got an elektra beckum/ metabo planer thicknesser combi. wish i'd never bought it, the thickness table rocks the fence never stays square the blades are a pain in the rear to change, if you move the infeed table to adjust the amount being planed it twists hmmmmmmm no good do not buy one should have saved some money and got a proper one. if i had the space i would buy a seperate planer and thicknesser and i would buy good solid cast iron not cheap aluminium the pk200 table saw is also junk. my only advice is to do research, try before you part with your hard earned.

2 Jags! who are you John Prescott? :lol: I bought myself a Elu P/T off the bay for £300 and it is a brilliant machine. It is the same model as the De Walt 1161 It does have ally planing tables but they are very level and it only takes a matter of seconds to convert it from planing to thicknessing by fipping the tables up out of the way. :wink:
