I have resurfaced a fair amount of reclaimed teak and found that TCT blades for my planner thicknesser are a must, my Electra Beckum machine requires additional blade holders to hold the TCT blades which came to over £100, The other thing I do before planning is to go over the wood with a belt...

Hi Bob I never was a prolific poster, have been dabbling with the spinny things lately but only on a small scale, Glad to hear the cyclone is still going strong, Barry must be chuckling up there to think he left these reminders, Cheers Nigel
