I have only an occasional need for a thicknesser, is it possible to get a budget model that performs reasonably well? Do any of you have any (good) experiences of the cheaper models avalable. TIA.
It's pretty heavy so doesn't need to be bolted down.
The fence is a bit meh and there's a really anoying feature where you have to keep moving the dust extraction port to convert it from thicknessing to planing mode.
That aside it's a great machine for it's price. It's been really useful to me.
