Exceedingly sad news as David was my woodworking inspiration and I was honoured and privileged to attend one of his courses a few years ago. It was without a doubt the best course I have ever been on and took my woodworking skills to a new level. Rest in Peace David, you will be greatly missed.

Yes, the blades are double sided and very easy to change. The blades sit in pins so do not need setting up. The Triton is an excellent planer, just a bit noisy but then they all are. Hope this helps..

Apologies for the delay, here is the eBay link, cheers, Mike. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-LED-Garage-Light-Deformable-4000LM-8000LM-IP65-Ceiling-Lamp-Bulb-Warehouse-/383907974440?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Brilliant! I’d be lost without good old Aldi!

Thanks for that, I hadn’t thought about it from a rendition of wood or coating colour point of view. So warm would be better for a woodworking shop?

Hi all. I currently have five 1.5m fluorescent tube lights in my workshop (4m x 8m) and I want to put one of these over my workbench for extra and brighter light. However, my dilemma is do I go for a warm light that matches the tubes, or do I go for the brighter (I think it’s brighter but I...

What colour do you recommend?

Excellent stuff and many thanks for doing this experiment, I was about to buy Osmo for my newly made oak window frame but I will definitely go with Sikkens now. Cheers, Mike.

Hi Matthew. The Triton TPT125 is an excellent machine and I’ve been extremely happy with mine. It’s well built, very robust and doesn’t feel cheap. It’s a weighty piece of kit, which good and to change the blades, which are double sided, is easy-peasy . It is however only a thicknesser and is...

Hi Mike. Have just checked and yes, the Triton definitely has rubber in-feed and out-feed rollers. The more l use this machine the more l like it. Storage l thought would be a problem, it being so heavy, so l made a rolling base that l can roll out of the cupboard to the bench and then just lift...

Hi pike. Yes it's working really well thanks. I replaced my previous thickness/planer and upgraded to the PT107 about a year ago and although it's a great machine and copes with anything you can throw at it, l do have one problem and that is that metal surrated in feed roller on the thicknesser...

Hi all. Got my Triron TPT125 yesterday and so far l am extremely impressed. It's well made and finished, l know there has been criticisms about it having plastic sides but to be honest l think it's nicer (certainly better finished than the Clarke) and appears to have plenty of power. I've put it...

Thanks mikejhn. l actually wouldn't have minded a second hand Makita or Dewalt but there were several issues, the first is they actually don't come up very often, l know because I've had a search on one for about six months. The next problem is the majority of the ones that do are 110v (usually...

Hi all. I have just purchased the Triton TPT125 and thanks to 'pike' l bought it via Amazon for £240. I will report back with what l think as soon as. Cheers, Mike.

Many thanks for the tip, £240 is a great price and you can't beat the reviews. My only slight worry is the snipe that seems to occur, but then l guess that happens with the best of machines. Before a get the credit card out, does anyone have any other suggestions in this price bracket? Cheers, Mike.

Hi. I've been looking long and hard at this machine myself and think l am definitely going to go for it. I was originally looking at the Makita 2012NB but have bulked a bit at the price, especially when l think how much use it will get. I did a lot of research on the net and YouTube and the...
