.....Before blaming the problem on the machine I would suggest that the best way forward for the op is to invest £3 on a length of dry cls from the likes of wickes and create a flat side and a square edge on the planer..........
The problem is he can't create a flat side on the planer so surely, the first step is to make sure the machine tables are true? I had exactly the same problem with the Erbauer version. The thicknesser worked well but the planer feed table was several degrees out of true (lower at the outer edge) with no way of adjusting it.
