This is the newer 'B' model as you can see from the photo.
Long story short, bought this second hand for a job...it stopped working after one oak beam. Bought a replacement, and that one stopped working after two beams. Sent the newer one off for warranty repair, turns out it had a loose connection which they repaired. On further investigation, the one I bought originally had exactly the same issue, so I soldered that up, replacing the crappy "wire nut" used by the manufacturer. Now working exactly as it should.
I'd prefer pick-up so you can see it working plus it's heavy, and I only have one Triton box to send anything anywhere.
Anyone thinking, "So, you have two wide electric hand planers now?!" is completely wrong. I actually have three because while the new one was off being repaired, I bought a Makita
£95, located near Cheddar.
