Once he was gone I went back, got the Ryobi blades and went to the register.

Same in bundy, you can order the gmc ones in and get them a fortnight later for $40 or pay $41.30 for the ryobi ones off the shelf.

I filled the 200 ltr collector again today, thats twice now, andi havehada couple of problems with the thicknesser. it started out cutting perfectly, now im getting snipe and a couple of other poroblems so it might be a maintenence and setup morning tomorrow, after i mulch the garden with another 200 ltr of sawdust

Here's my thicknesser set up with the Dust Extractor, abd the H&F Dust Collector
Running Exador's pink bloodwood through filled the bag to 3/4s full and revealed some very Beautiful grain
Unfortunately, I had to pack away the Thicknesser, so it's a good thing it has wheels and will travel.

After all the posts, I rang the local and found they just got a pallet load in (at Southport Bunnings here on the Gold Coast), so off I went to buy one. My son works for Bunnings, so I got mine with the family discount for only $184.50

Now all I have to do is find the time to set it up, add the dust collection tack on, then find some where to put it

Put it next to the pile of rough-sawn timber that you want DAR!

Hope GMC are noticing just how popular these tools are proving- I know it is an exceptional price, but the feedback seems to be that the tool does the job, which is even more critical. Please bring out a planer so we can do the whole job!

You can resharpen the blades and they are also double sided. The Ryobi blades will fit the GMC machine as the Ryobi, GMC and Ozito Thicknesser are from the same factory and are the same machine.

Bunnings should carry both the Ryobi and GMC blades as they are graded "S" status which means all warehouses should carry them.

Hope this helps,
