how long was the warranty DB only 12 months ? So the thicknesser doesn't get much use if you only logged a few hours on it
presume that model was discontinued as it was a load of garbage

Good on them.
Pabs, what model/Capacity are yours? I have been contemplating such a machine, would be good to get opinion from someone who is actively using one.Quote:

The only issue I've had with these machines is the switches are rubbish, but an easy swap out. And the placement of the switch on the 16" is poorly thought out. Had to jimmy up a guard so we didn't bump it off regularly.
Nice. Don't know if the budget will stretch that far! (Or I could hold onto my budget until it will I guess!)Quote:

A tip...always check the wiring on these Chinese tools before switching them on. I've seen too many dodgy factory soldering jobs, like making a bridge of solder because the wire was too short! or no solder at all, just wires twisted together!
And for todays Tool Porn...
First tool chest is the famous Studley tool chest, every woodies dream..
For those of us 'on the level', see if you can spot the hidden and not so hidden symbols of the craft ;)
Second tool cest is by an unknown maker, sometime in the early 1900's.
Anyone got a spare $150,000?
If so, it could be yours......
Not only would I love the tools, but also the knowledge and skill to use them all correctly!
We don't see any hidden symbols.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
