I's a beast, small it isn't. 1800w of brushed motor will wake the dead (as was to be expected).
I didn't really think to get it til I saw it upside down in the vice - I can make an angle iron cradle and use it that way, using the fence mounts to hold it - working from a wheelchair is difficult sometimes, it's difficult to drill vertical holes or plane square when you're looking and working at 45° all the time.

Looks awful, I'll pm my address...

the knobs attach it to the tool, the wing nuts adjust the angle.

Silly me... the manual text and directions are a bit on the small side for my old eyes. Have to get the magnifying glass out to have another look
Didn't get that far for adding the fence...

I haven't got to RTFM yet.

Never considered one of these upside down. It’s more powerful than Triton TSPL152, but is the downside that there isn’t a long enough feed for stability or is there more to it than just watts?

I’m looking for a solution for squaring up 150 x 20mm boards and similar? I’m thinking of planing two sides and then band saw/track saw.

If using it 'upside-down' then you'd have to decide if you have enough feed for stability on the length of timbers being planed. I'm intending to make a unit to fit it into for when using in such a position - extending the infeed and outfield ends. I've seen such units for the more usual sized electric planes so should be easy to upside-down for this.
