Titan Thicknesser Planer Is It Worth It?? Unboxing Set Up & Demo 

I have had a similar machine for several years and find it adequate for home use but a bit of a pain to swap between the top and bottom functions. Mine is a different brand but essentially the same machine with a few minor differences, obviously made by the same manufacturer. A few points - you should joint (plane on top) one edge and one face so that you have two smooth sides at right angles, then use the thicknesser to plane the other face and edge, which will then be parallel to the first two edges so you end up with a smooth square board. Also, the easy way to open the switch is just lift the stop button upwards and the switch will pop open. When using the thicknesser on longer pieces of wood it is a good idea to make a longer bed by laying a long flat piece of wood through the throat of the thicknesser to support your workpiece (a cheap melamine shelf is ideal). This will prevent snipe on the leading and trailing ends of your workpiece.

Thanks a million, great video, really helpful cheers!

I’ve got one renamed it death trap with the blades there ok but don’t lose the blade re setting jig as there are no replacement parts or spares for this except for blades and the on off switch. If you want to lube up the chain behind the panel with on off switch best thing to use is the wd40 dry ptfe spray. They don’t like long bits of wood but be careful they can blow up or catch fire sometimes but wear ear defenders as it’s loud and close neighbours might not appreciate it

Great video and thanks for sharing. Do you know how easy it is to sharpen or changes the blades.

Good video. I got this a few weeks back but have been a bit too intimidated to use it yet! 😅 I'll have go this evening I think!

Great review thank you.

I've set my planer up and screwed down the bolt to turn on micro switch but it's still not powering up. Any ideas? I've been at this now for the last 3 hours 😢

thicknesser and planer are the same thing. title bit misleading
