I found this in the second hand shop for equivalent GBP eight pounds only!

The purchase qualified me for a store raffle ticket celebrating the shop's tenth anniversary. I then promptly won the first prize of 100 pounds cash!
I bought new blades, blade setting tool and dust extractor connection all for about 30 pounds and a promise to return to the shop!

It has a 110mm width cutting head and so I can get a flat surface on any (cupped) boards up to that width. With the new blades it's giving a mirror surface.

I think it's a good tool and an excellent (in my case) purchase and I would like to recommend it but being my first and only powered planer; I do not have the authority to do so.

I actually want a jointer planer though I also want another ten square metres of workshop space and that would need to come first.
