Thank you for the calm and comprehensible presentation. I will visit your channel more often, your style is a real blessing compared to the many other, over-excited RU-vidrs! Stay the way you are!
Hey mate thanks for the question, I have surfaced boards about 2.2-2.4m in length but I will admit it was not easy and wouldn’t want to do it very often at all without extra support. I normally comfortably surface boards about 1.5m in length without any extra support👌🏼
@@MrPaulRobbins99 hey mate, thanks for the comment. Was a bit sketchy as I did it myself. I lifted one side at a time shimming it with a block of wood each time until I had it raised high enough to just slide it on. I’m now in a new workshop and used an engine hoist the second time to get it onto the wheeled base with the help of my brother. Much safer😂👌🏼
@@MrPaulRobbins99 this is a great machine for the money, since using it more seriously. Pretty much everyday for work I will say the blade change is a ballache (not too much of a problem if you’re not going to be doing a huge amount of work) and I would have really liked a readout for the thicknessing to make repeat thicknessing sessions where you’re trying to achieve the same thickness stock much easier👌🏼
@oveywoodwork thanks for that, yes always the dread of prepping another piece to replicate a previous batch. Seems blade change on these spiral cutter block machines can be a faff.
After watching your video I am awaiting delivery of one of these planers could you let me know the exact length and width of the bottom of the machine so I can make a rolling base before it comes thanks
Hey mate, just measured mine for you it’s 442mm x 563mm depending on the type of rolling base you’re making the machine does have bolt down brackets that come with the machine but the rolling base would need to be wider if you also wanted to bolt it down.👍🏼
@@oveywoodwork thank you very much I'll get to work tomorrow machine coming Tuesday but due to work it will be next weekend before I can unbox it thanks again
