Titan Jointer Planer

[Vic Perrin]

Brought one of these the other day and set it up today.

Titan TTB579PLN 204mm Planer Thicknesser 230V | Jointers & Thicknessers | Screwfix.com

For £135 with the 10% discount that I got I am well impressed with it

It is a really robust bit of kit manufactured I believe in Russia.

It comes with a 2 year guarantee, ok not for industrial or heavy work but for hobby use I think it really fits the bill.

Ran some oak and mahogany through it today for some segmented bowl work, well chuffed with the result.

I got one the same as that but branded with the wood star name, very good tool apart from the useless Fence. you are better off using a bit of timber as a fence in my opinion!

Looks very much like the one I got from Axminster, they do 'what it says on the tin'!

Vic, can the table be taken off easily for storage and quickly be put back on again?

Hi Peter, just had a look and I don't think the table is that easy to remove. Mind you it only measures 29" x 8.5" so storage should not be that much of an issue. It's quite heavy mind you.

It's just that the length of the table takes up valuable space that I don't have and it would have been great to be able to take it off when not in use.
