Hi guys,
Looking to pass through some hardwood stumps that were taken from under the house as I turn it into a table. Just getting started in the big wide world of wood working but only 30 years old so plenty of time left to get use out of machines.
Really need to prove to myself good continued use so looking to spend <$700 on a thicknesser but want to make sure it will do the job. Initial wood is 100 x 100 ~80 year old redwood of various lengths from 300 to 2000mm.
My table saw is a cheapie Ozito that I bought to get into it all and it does an alright job of cutting, but think (correct me if I am wrong) but a good thicknesser can compensate for the saw and is the important part of a job. So would this be OK:
W813 | T-13A Thicknesser - Bench Mount | For Sale Sydney Brisbane Melbourne Perth | Buy Workshop Equipment & Machinery online at machineryhouse.com.au (http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/W813)
Or should i pay the extra for
W815 | T-13S Thicknesser - Bench Mount | For Sale Sydney Brisbane Melbourne Perth | Buy Workshop Equipment & Machinery online at machineryhouse.com.au (http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/W815)
Or look at another option? Thanks all!
