Hi Trousers, I'm in South Devon/ South London back and forth at the moment. Just spoke to hammer and they are selling the A3 31 for £1900 for basic set up which seems a p*ss take to me quite frankly for a "budget" machine - so that may have sold it for me - though I did ask about ex - showroom...

Thanks alot everyone! mmmm...mixed comments there. I certainly know about the simple build of Sedgwick machines as I own a TA315 and space is not an issue in my new cavernous (freezing) warehouse workshop so a sedgwicks footprint doesn't bother me. The ease of accurate blade placement does...

Hi there :) After recently training in fine cabinet making I'm setting up my small workshop. I've only used fairly old sedgwick/ wadkin solid cast iron planer thicknessers so have very little knowledge of newer options available. A fellow maker has suggested the Hammer A3 31 for great accuracy...

Hi Chris, I'm getting the same test section cnc routed at the moment, though obviously this will include a radius in every corner so it may not work with my designs. I'm sure this will be too expensive too as the cut time will be ages. I have considered end grain, but I want the panel design...

The Makita looks like what I'm after - though I really need some sort of stand to hold it in, as proxxon offers with their belt sander. May be best to custom make something - any good off the shelf supports out there?

Thanks for all the advice, you lot are great :) Here are some pics of my test panel straight of the bench saw - hope this sheds some light on the context of the help needed. Cheers http://www.flickr.com/photos/12811418@N00/3027446079/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/12811418@N00/3028280374/

Hi Chris and thanks! Well you are absolutely right about sanding across the grain - this is far from ideal. I am cutting 30 strips each with 65 profiles cut out, with 17 different possible depths ranging from 1mm to 17mm, having been done on a bench saw using a varying blade height to remove...

Hi there, This is my first post - so hello! I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with some advice about small belt sanders. I need to be able sand within 15mm square profiles cut in to strips of hardwood. I have seen a Proxxon (with mount and vice) 10mm sander but it is only 100w...
