Thread: Need to hire Thicknesser etc West suburbs of Melbourne

Hi guys,
Thanks to one of the members on here I have managed to buy a second hand Hafco T330, which I trialled today on my some pieces of my wood.
Now I am on the lookout for a 2nd hand dust extractor unit. Anyone got one of these???

Slippery slope, isn't it?

Keep your eye on the Marketplace - particularly this section: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f221

They come up regularly, so if you have a bit of time, you are likely to find something soon enough!

Hi Ian project wa coming along nicely up until yesterday.
putting all the wood they the thicknesser, am discovering the dryer the better.
Anyway yesterday a piece got caught half way, then bored a dent into the board. After that wood won't feed thru.
have to push have cleaned in and out feed and then re waxed, but to no avail.
opened it up to see if there was damage to blades or roller, but all looks ok.
did find a metal pin about an inch long sitting loosely in the bottom, but have no idea where it is from.....
now need to find someone who can service and knows thee machines inside out ��
Any suggestions?

cant work out how to add pics, won't allow my ones from my iPad?

Hi Anna

at a guess, the connection between the cutter head and feed rollers is broken.

While not a dead giveaway, the metal pin you found is highly suggestive.
