Good morning all, Unexpectedly we are moving from our own family house in North Yorkshire back into rented accommodation. Due to my career we do move around a lot (roughly every 2 years) though on this occasion it was genuinely something of a surprise! This means I have yet another conundrum...

I recently purchased and restored a Kity 1637 and largely it is now working beautifully. The one thing that evades me is the fence. I can't seem to get the fence to stay square even when set correctly. Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this problem or have any ideas for aftermarket...

Hello all, I recently got hold of a good deal on a Kity 1637 and have been spending the last few days tarting it up a little as it had a very rusty cutter block etc. It's now planing beautifully and I'm very pleased with the machine, but there are two outstanding issues/ questions I'd like some...

Hello all, I've joined the forum as I'm in the market for a new combination Planer/ Thicknesser and wanted to know if I was missing anything. At the moment I have a top end budget of around £1,000 which would have to include any delivery/ courier. I have just enough space for a floor...
