Which make and model is this planer thicknesser?

[[email protected]]

Hi all, wondered if you could help me as im tryig to find a parts list for this thickness planer pictured below. I cant find either the make or model of this thicknesser planer. I was told twhen i bought it that it was a Sedgewick but if you look at the 2nd [icture of the thicknesser rise and fall wheel you can see its jutting out from the corner of the machine by 45 degrees and I can t for the life of me find any Sedgewick, Kitty, Wadkin, Elektra Beckum Multico Dominion etc anywhere on line that has this angled wheel. Ive looked all over the machine and the only markings I can find are on the castings. Its got a bit of quality to it ie very heavy and cast solid fence but I really want to find the make and model. If anyone truely knows and can send me a link rather than just a make they think it is that theyve seen online or has the same model to this machine Id be greatful.

It's a Dodd 12" by the looks of it. DMT is Dodd Machine Tools


Cast frame and upper tables. Machined steel for the thicknesing table. I had mine from new and think they were made in Kent if memory serves me right.

Think they were a tiny outfit and long gone. I dont think there was much sales stuff even when they were making them. Most of it was very simple solid construction so not much to go wrong.

@Beau is right, it's a Dodd. Very agriculturally made machines, even more so than Sedgwick which is saying something. I think the chances of finding a parts list would be slim to zero, fortunately there aren't many parts and most will be simple off the shelf pieces aside from the castings.

Ok thx I’m away from the machine so can’t measure the cutting knives so would anyone happen to know the size knives I’d need to order? And a good quality company? Thx

Always my first choice for tooling is to talk to Jeremy at Appleby.
Very knowledgeable chap with great service.
