Triton TPT125 Thicknesser unboxing and first impressions 

Im guessing the magnets are for removing the blades, so you don't have to touch them and cut yourself?

That kickback you got was quite probably down to the endgrain on that board and (I suspect) also having the cut set a touch too deep - with endgrain you really have to reduce the cut depth just take off a hair's breadth at a time otherwise the blades can really dig in. The fact it was still green and a bit sappy won't have helped either so all the more important to drop the amount you take off in each pass. BTW - If you keep using green wood on that, you'll get to know what those magnets are for very soon as you'll be replacing (or at least cleaning) those blades quite a bit more often than the average user. Great machine, though, I love mine.

Two things the Allen key is provided its attached to the machine !! And secondly you got kick back because you rammed the cut blocks against the grain to cut it simple beginner's mistakes

The magnets are to remove the blade. Thee's a place for them on the side of the planer, right next to the attached hex key. There's also a little label on one end as well, telling you what the magnets are for. Agreed though, the instructions are crap. I've just bought one of these and am doing my own initial thoughts and unboxing video myself, so will got an have a look at your six month review as well.

The magnets are for blade removal.

Very informative mate cheers, subbed 😊

Good job, thank you! I'm thinking about buying TRITON, METABO or DEWALT, what is your suggestion?

Thank you for the video. Are you still happy with this machine? I am thinking of getting a thicknesser (or thicknesser/planer). I will sometimes be working with smallish pieces of wood. Can you tell me please what is the smallest length of timber you can put through this? I noticed your chopping board wasn't all that long.

Hi, thanks v much for the review. How’s it been after time? Do you plan a follow up review?

Hey guys just been using the planner again today this time 70mm birch ply 750mm long. Worked great. I did notice on the first past the roller tried to pick up the workpiece when it first entered the machine. No damage or snipe. From there after I made sure to push down on the workpiece until it was all the way through. My out feed tables are sadly still not built yet. While I had the machine out I also tested some other lengths. 300 x 75 x 18mm & 150 x 75 x 18mm both In birch ply. They both went through with no problems. The roller pickup was more apparent with a tall thin board. The 150 mm length board was more uncomfortable having the machine cutter so high with such a small length. Fingers quite close to the mouth but the 300mm felt fine

The plug converts a EURO plug to a UK 3-pin plug thats why it is huge

Did you ever get around to the 6 month review ?

Great video, I picked one of these up early in the week and equally impressed with it. Did you have any more kickback after that initial one?

Great review, really informative. Can you confirm the actual dimensions with the tables folded up please?

how is the triton thicknesser doing. thinking of buying. thanks

The magnets are to change the blade. You pick up the blade with the magnet to prevent a cut.

Great tool but dust extraction is totally useless I have altered mine !

Hi, did you ever manage to get a reducer coupling for the extraction port? I have not had any luck in finding one to fit?

i think the magnets are used to guide the timber through the feed end of the thicknesser
