Great value thicknesser.

Received this a few days ago and have only just unboxed and set it up. The main plate is very flimsy. A very thin sheet of stainless steel over a cast Frame section which is located under the stainless plate. The machine is great value for money and I'm very impressed. Very heavy, which is good but there should be a better main plate as this will struggle to make the journey if used a lot. Something that will be useful to others is a modification I have made NOT to the planner however to a chopsaw stand I have purchased and modified as this is great if you work on your own..

Noisy and rattly

As soon as I switched this on it, it makes a rattling noise, sounds like something is tight on this looked at blade area and seen that the safety catch on left had side doesnt go all way in to allow the blade to spin freely. tried pushing the cover in as much as possible but still hasnt solved this problem, cant be bothered sending it back and going through all the nonsense that goes with waiting for repairs etc , just bought another Maetabo, works great.Read full review

Triton planer

If you’re thinking about buying a plane,it’d be difficult imagining anything better than this. This thing is powerful and leaves your workpiece flat and smooth. The finish is as good as a razor sharp,quality hand plane produces. There are two downsides,this thing is really heavy and it produces masses of shavings really fast.
The weight is probably necessary to keep the machine stable.
Had this a couple of weeks now,love it,can’t recommend it highly enough.Read full review

Good results

A good Planer giving me good results on Pine and Oak thus far. Table in/out feeds are a little short and this causing some snipe. A really noisy machine. Heavy machine so, not so easy to store away for me. The shavings it produces are large and long. This meant that my Dust Cyclone inlet tube became instantly clogged. Decided to leave the Planer's Dust Collection port off and just trap the shavings on my work surface as they exit the rear of the Planer. So, a bit messy.Read full review

Works as it should

I have had this planer for a few months now. It works very well.
All the work I do is very light and the maximum thickness that I work with is about 3 or 4 cm. It produces a very good finish and constant thickness.
The only problem that I have found is when I am working on very thin pieces, less than 1.5 centimetres. It's difficult to wind it down to these thicknesses. Also I only use it for periods of 1/2 hour to 1 hour so it doesn't have a chance to overheat.Read full review

Good value

Does the job nicely, well made, smooth finish (if you follow the grain) & adjustment is easy & accurate. Table in/out feeds are a little short & this causing some snipe, but you can use a piece of scrap wood before & after work piece to minimise this problem.Read full review

Really surprised at the efficiency of this.

Really surprised at the efficiency of this considering the price. Only used it a few times so far, but it cleaned up a 9" scaffolding board without any problem yesterday. It probably wouldn't earn you a living for very long, but I'd say for a DIYer it will last well enough. Haven't experienced the snipe some people have reported so must have been set up OK from the factory.Read full review

Simple and so good

Simple to use and does a fantastic job. To save ending up knee deep in shavings you really need an extractor and then it becomes an essential iyem in your tool kit. The finish it produces is superb
