S1 E08 Triton TPT125 Planer/Thicknesser Review 

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Yeah it seems easier than having to vacuum up from the floor after. 😃. Glad you found it helpful. Stay safe.

You’re very welcome Chris - glad you found it useful and thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Stay safe.

@@smoogleville8201 thank you, I've just received my thicknesser today,looks a quality piece of kit, thanks again for helping me take the plunge!👍 Be safe!

you will never eliminate snipe fully as this machine only does the second step in a 3 step process..but more on that in a moment... there is a guy that makes a table for it that reduces snipe. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwWl8rI6Cms.html . this gives less snipe...there is a better version here where the machine is fixed to the table jig ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eadz-uNuD-4.html if you measure from the edge of the machine to where the roller is ..thats where the snipe is..so people use a scrap piece of wood before and after .. the scrap wood takes the snipe instead of your work..i do realize you need a new piece of scrap everytime but even the most expensive machines with spiral cutters still give snipe..thats why alot of people use a drum sander to finish it off....are you also using a jointer first(surface planer)..if you do not use one first to square 2 edges the thicknesser planer will just flatten the bow of the wood when it hits the rollers..they will squash it flat to the bed and then the machine makes the cut and when the piece of wood comes out of the machine and off the rollers the wood will curl up again..so to square wood you need a surface planer and then it needs to go through a thicknesser and then a drum sander and the sander needs a good extraction or dust sits on the work and on the belt and you will not get an accurate finish..so you have a thicknesser but need a planer,drum sander and extraction or you are pissing in the wind and you will have snipe and not perfect wood..there is no short cut..i have the same issue..i will use it for a few guitars but £2000 just to make wood square sounds like extortion..its that or get highly skilled with a plane. but a plane is £200 for a no7 and you need a few and alot of practice wood..i would probably get through forest before being good enough..so its cheaper to buy the machines..but when you say out loud .."it costs 2k to make wood square"..you then try to convince yourself..i can make furniture guitars and anything from wood..would you ever buy a kitchen or piece of furniture ever again? still fuckin expensive

@@mattyburrows9059 That's a damn fine tip. I've saved that video for when I get the time to build that jig.

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!

@Frank Aldo Instablaster :)

@Brixton Derek Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Brixton Derek It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

@Frank Aldo Happy to help =)

Oh no Ray - so sorry that happened. Hope you worked around it. That dust hood is pretty importent. Take care and thanks for watching.

Yes this little guy has really opened up a few possibilities - including saw mill purchasing some affordable rough-sawn lumber. I'll have to wait for a workshop extension before a planer will fit in here though. :-)

Awesome, still good all tese months later. I’ve run some tough hardwoods through there like oak and walnut, and it’s still sharp. Thanks for checking out the video. Stay safe.

Oh man, that is a shame - very disappointing considering the general build quality otherwise. Yeah, keep us all posted on that. It would be good to know how Triton are with customer service in these situations. Thanks for sharing.
