Hi,
I've been using a NuTool bench top jointer (the one which has variable speed), needless to say it wasn't very good and has now died on me and I want a replacement. I also have a Delta portable thicknesser which I'm very happy with.
I've 'had' my eye on the Axminster CT150 but I've since spoted a very similar machine on ebay, item#5989003126 from seller Lyndhurst Machinery which costs £275 with free delivery. Has anybody else seen this machine, I just feel that for this price there must be some catch, maybe it's just cheap and nasty like the NuTool, and I don't want to burn my fingers again.
On the other hand, I've also looked at the Record PT260 planer/thicknesser which only costs a little more than the Axminster planer and offers a 10inch planing width as opposed to the 6inch of the CT150, but as I mentioned I already have a portable thicknesser.
It would seem that all machines have their advantages and disadvantages :?
Any advice, ideas or opinions would be gratefully appreciated, thanks.
