Early Christmas present to myself.

DeWalt DW733 thicknesser, I just couldn't turn this down as it's a steal at £150. Not brand new but only used a handful of times so as good as, not a mark on it.

He uses a variety of highly figured exotic wood and has offered to keep suitable offcuts for me as well - happy days.

Now that's what you call a bargain

That's a cracker Bob. There's not a mark on it.

...but are you going to feed it and take it for walks? A planer/thicknesser is not just for Christmas you know!

Yep and I'll be picking up the mess it makes in rather large doggy doodoo bags

Are you at Harrogate on Saturday Bill? If so I'll look out for you, usually manage to trip over each other half a dozen times.

Nice one Bob.

An awesome tool made even better with a replacement Shelix spiral cutterhead.

DeWalt says the stock knives can't be sharpened but if you find the right person that can build a simple jig to hold the knives they can be resharpened. The key is not to use them until they are so dull you couldn't cut butter.

I’ll be there Bob, it’ll be nice to bump into you again.
