I think the OP was looking for a combination planer/thicknesser machine. (for some reason the Makita has been described as a p/t but it isnt, its a thicknesser). Do makita do a combination p/t?

There is a metabo 260 on Facebook at the moment near Bristol for £450, could probably get it to the £400 mark Link

Yeah you do have to spend some time learning how to spot scams on Facebook, and often you do learn a lesson during the process through falling for one, but overall I have definitely done well in getting some incredibly good deals on there. There are probably some expert websites on spotting...

I think my point was more that they are all the same design and likely made in the same factory/production line, with very minor differences between them! They go by a few brands (including zipper etc), and whilst there are minor differences (slightly different fence/handle colour/table surface...

I used to use some £10 screwfix ones - they worked fine but were a nuisance to wear with safety glasses. I recently got some isotunes Xtra 2.0. Link. Really pleased with them, would buy again if they broke!

I buy loads of things on facebook, and sell things on there too. Lots of woodworking tools. Sometimes I buy from far away and ask people to post items. I generally pay by bank transfer (as I don't have paypal). I make a reasoned judgement about the seller, listing and item, and then generally...

Would an electric oil filled radiator not be a safer solution. You can probably pick loads of used ones up cheap on facebook marketplace etc. They start at like £19 from screwfix radiator

The clarke ones are the same as the titan one? Even the manual is identical - the fences are the same as except the 254mm clarke one has a different fence to the titan (but still same fence adjustment and attachment as the titan, the dust extraction shroud has a minor difference in shape, and...

I was told that carpet fitters tape leaves less residue/is easier to remove - I have bought some but am yet to try it!

There have been some photos of lunchbox thicknessers in the thread, but the model we are discussing is a planer thicknesser: Titan TTB579PLN 204mm Electric Planer Thicknesser 230V

I have found that my cyclone (50mm hose) + shop extractor (which is a 'bin' style vaccum) is fairly effective for it. On narrower boards it is maybe 98% effective at removing the chips, on wider ones maybe 80-85%. I did try it without extraction but found that my small workshop space rapidly...

I have the screwfix titan one and whilst it has VERY mixed reviews online, I went ahead and bought it on the basis that it has a decent warranty and screwfix will take it back if it isn’t square or I’m not happy etc for any reason, so I thought it was a no risk approach to try it out. The...

So I am making a rather large bed, and am planning to use flat 3/4" ply for the bed slats (With a central support). I can get hold of birch plywood at fairly reasonable prices, but ovbiously hardwood ply is cheaper. Is there any reason not to use hardwood ply over birch ply for the bed slats...

Yeah I havent used it properly yet but it is in good working order, the systainer of dominos is about 50% full. It is very much overkill for my purposes. I have a set of bedroom furniture to make over the next month or two so hopefully it will get some use then and I will see if it is worthwhile...

Just spotted this for £260 on facebook, could probably negotiate the price down further, thought might be a good deal for someone local to gatwick https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3042318372580641/

I feel really embarrased to say that I picked up a used DF500 and a box of dominoes for £450 yesterday.... I saw it for sale and thought it was too good a deal to miss, i'll see how I get on with it and go from there, if i dont use it enough then I will end up selling it!

I use the DWS774 as well. I work in a v confined space (6x8 shed) and so I needed one which had a decent capacity but small footprint. The fact that the saw slides along the rails (rather than the rails sliding through the back) means that you don't need to allow space behind the saw for...

I made a compact 'fold up' router table earlier this year which I was rather pleased with. It waas made so that it can fit under my workbench neatly when i'm not using it!

The triton one sounds like it is hit and miss, and the mafell is the same price as the domino so I suppose I will just have to start saving a bit more!! Thanks for advice

Hi, I am looking at a used RBS5518, it would be a decent upgrade for me as I currently use a 3-wheeled saw. I have been doing an amount of resawing and things and whilst my little CBS355 manages it is really at the edge or beyond of it's capabilities. I wondered if anyone had experience with...
