Hi,
Does anyone have experience with the CarbaTec or Timbecon/Sherwwod combination Thicknesser/Moulder? Both have the catalogue number of CT-236.
Broadly, I'm interested to know:
Is the moulding function any good? I would assume the mouldings made could be a lot 'bigger' than with a router (on one pass anyway). and wide pieces wouldn't be a problem as the wood is supported horizontally, not vertically.
Is the thicknessing function comparable to other machines of the same cost/power?
Are more blades available than the set of 9 in the box advertised, and/or would it be possible (or wise) to make customised ones?
we are looking at moving into a house and renovating, so I figured the added moulding function would be good for customised skirting/architraves, etc.
Thanks for any help/advice.
Regards,
Darren
