Whitehead any good?

[Joints]

Just looking at buying a planer thicknesser by Whitehead. Have any of you heard of this make and is it any good?

Usually mentioned along with other good solid British engineering - wadkin, startrite, multico etc. So I've always assumed it's decent stuff. If Scrit was still around he'd give you all the details you could need.

I am pretty sure Mr Brad Naylor has one so maybe a PM to him may help

I think they are generally well regarded but likely to be quite old.

cheers
