I also have a woodstar planer/thicknesser which I use to take the timber to slightly above the finished size, I then finish it on a Jet drum sander which gives a very good finish and the thickness is accurate to a couple of thou. I bought the drum sander on ebay for well under half the price of a new one, I had to travel a hundred miles to get it but the results I gives made it worth the journey. the thinnest I have is about an 1/8 of an inch but it will go a lot thinner.
