Thread: circa 1986 15" Woodman Thicknesser/Planer

I am not really familiar with your thicknesser, but a lot of the generic thicknessers (which include some brand name models) are very similar to the Grizzly thicknesser.

The Grizzly web site has a lot of good manuals and documentation for the Grizzly machines. Since most of the machines come from the same factory, the manuals can be used for other branded machines.

Try going to Shop Tools and Machinery at Grizzly.com and selecting a machine that looks like yours (see this link as an example Shop Tools and Machinery at Grizzly.com). This page has the link to a manual.

The manual may not be exactly for your machine, but it is usually close enough. I used the same process to work out how to change the original cutter head in my thicknesser to a spiral cutter head.

Hope this helps.

Hey Jaksam, I came here also looking for a Woodman 15” Manual. Thanks for the tip re the Grizzly.
