Thanks, I'll try it out tomorrow.

Next problem, putting wood through the thicknesser is a bit hit and miss. Some pieces get taken through and get planed, some pieces just don't move at all. Feels like they are wedged in place, just don't move at all. Haven't touched the lever on the left (see photo), what does this do, and could...

Sorted thanks, laid the machine down and just loosened the nut closest to the "lock", bit of lounge and all's good.

Nope, I can easily undo it all the way but doesn't do anything, I spoke to the guy who sold it to me and he said the same as you, turn the lock a few turns and then turn the wheel. Anyone else got any ideas about what to do next? Might have to find a strong helper to load it back on my van and...

Forget the power bit for now, I've just found the seller's lead had a loose wire!

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm sure you mean this one? Are we talking 1 turn, 10 turns etc as I've undine it for and still nothing. If I try and turn the wheel too hard I can feel it slip. As I say the guy I bought it from used the thicknesser on some small stock and was moving it easily up...

Oh, please could I get a copy as well, just picked up my machine and no idea what I'm doing. Thanks Steve

Hi all First timer on here. Just retired and started to enjoy making a few projects out of wood! I have seen a Kity 367 that is in great condition, big, old and very heavy. Or do I start with a portable thicknesser and see whether it does what I think I might need using sleds etc. Head says...
