Now taken.



I think this is B&Q own brand. Purchased a few years ago before I learnt to use a hand plane and discovered that I can do all I want with that. So this just takes up space, can't be bothered with the effort to sell it via eBay if someone here could use it. It's marked as a benchtop model.

It will make one side of a piece of wood flat (except for the small nick in the blade, you'd need to sharpen that out).

Don't expect it to give you a nice 90 degree angle unless you mod the fence or can somehow master the art of setting it vertical.

And it's ludicrously noisy, definitely not for indoor use!

But it's a solid thing, has years of making wood chips left in it.
 
Here's a picture:

The table is about 2 feet long and is flattish. I'd say it's for quick and rough dimensioning - it'll chew off 3mm of oak at a time, but only about 6 inch widths.

Would also be useful to prop your workshop door open on a windy day.
