Good point Paul but as many people have said, you get what you pay for. I won't lose much sleep if the blades are poor :D Phil

Any more pictures of your projects Niki, and maybe a tour of your workshop? Not that I'm nosey or anything :wink: Phil

cheers Alf the site is really good. I did a search for books earlier and all I could find was American dealers so I was a bit fed up. Phil

Recieved mine today and I am more than happy with the carry case, this alone is worth the £14 :D I can't comment on the blades as they are spares but if the are as good as they case I reckon I got a bargain.

Haven't had time to use the thicknesser yet, i've still got to get the in-out feed trays set up. I think I'm going to invest in a book, as it can't be as easy as just shoving wood through it :?

Thanks again Niki for an easy informative guide. Phil

Just ordered a pair myself :D

Got my Axminster WP 150 planer and Axminster ct330 today. Had a play with the planer, as usual I had a hard time getting the fence square. Put a piece of Sapele through it, taking just a mil off and it was a smooth as a baby's b*m. Got the thicknesser out of the box and the feed trays were...

Niki, thanks a lot for the illustrated tip. I need to see a picture before I understand things :oops: Phil

Thought I would bump this post in case anyone hasn't heard of this great invention. Just a pity I can't afford one :cry:

Can of worms indeed Mark :? I have ordered the said items but can change my mind. However, my workshop is only 13x7, as such I am limited to worktop models :cry: Thanks everyone for your advice and I look forward to recieving my new toys tomorrow. Carry on with any helpful tip you may wish to...

After reading all of the posts on the above and dithering for what seems an eternity, I have decided to take the plunge and buy a Axminster WP150 150mm Planer and an Axminster CT330 330mm Thicknesser. :lol: Both of these are on offer at APTC at the moment. Has anybody got any tips or advice...

Good morning one and all on this fine sunny morning :D . Reading through the post I thought it may be a good idea to make projects with the Oak purchased from the french Mill. Please excuse my ignorance if I am thick on this occasion (won't be the first time) but would there be any problems...

I've just bought one of these about half an hour ago and put it together in ten minutes. Can't complain at £30. I checked out ten Argos shops and all were out of stock, also a third more power in the motor. I just don't expect too much from something so cheap.

Come on Charlie, are you going to make this a stickie? :? As well as warning everyone of the inherent dangers in wood work, there are a lot of good ideas that have come out of Tony's misfortune. I know the post heeps getting bumped, but I don't think it will stay up there forever. Cheers Phil

Hi John, It isn't my father I was talking about, I think we've got our wires crossed. As to hospitals being insured, they probably are, but compensation also comes out of the Primary Care Trust's budget. I must reiterate that I sympathise with anyone who is unfortunate to be on the recieving...

[quote="Neomorph"]Sorry to hear about your Father Ian. Did I read right about him falling while in hospital?? If so do you realise the hospital is liable in cases like that (at least I think they are). If you have been browsing these forums you may have come across my "Dust: A Cautionary Tale"...

Your post has made me think, have I been palmed off with someone else's reject. :( Phil

What about the other guy, David English is it? He was very good.
