On site planer

[jjames]

Hi everyone,
Looks as if im gonna need an on site planer/thicknesser bot not necessarily the thicknesser...i need something not too heavy 40-50 kg max, not really wide but relatively long...
Any suggestions? Let's i.agine the budget is no problem ;0)))

My choice when in this situation was a makita nb2012 / 110 volt . Leaves the timber in really good condition almost ready to finish . Noisy - yes but nowhere as loud as some . It’s a thicknesser but worth it . If I recall the other choice was the matabo hc260 ( I think )

Hi Bingy man, I have the metabo, it's fine if a touch heavy, I need more a jointer that is transportable mainly for long bits of sapelli or oak.

I use a lumberjack 10", fairly light weight, but keep cuts light and it works a treat.
