    Question Rojek combination planer/thicknesser

    I am currently looking to purchase a combination planer/thicknesser . The Rojek looks promising, large cutter head 100+mm dia 4 blades and 320mm planing width x 200mm thicknessing height . Have any of you good folk out there had any experience with this animal ??? I am interested in hearing pro's and cons on combination machines .

    Roger -----Is'nt this animal badged up and sourced from the Czech Republic or one of those Eastern European Countries?
    I seem to recall a report in one of the English WW magazines about these machines with the emphasis on a plainly built but with a sturdy and robust nature and machined to a reasonable standard.There were good reports about the ability to dress out timber to a satisfaction in keeping with todays expectations.
    Beyond this I can't go into any finite details and do not recall what magazine the article was in but in essence they gave a thumbs up.
    Cheers

    Thanks Johnno
    I have had a look at one in a show room over here in Melbourne . I'm told that they're manufactured by a Belgian company but, what your saying could possibly be right. The price on this type of machine is to good to be true so i suspect that they are a rebadged beastie . I still haven't met or heard from any one who has actually used one though. You know how it is, 3k on a machine on a whim just don't equate to me .
