Ryobi AP13
Have just recently bought the Ryobi AP13 thicknesser. First thing I did was check out the table levels - all was OK there.
Ran a couple of small pieces of scrap (pine & some old hardwood fence palings) through it, no snipe and other than being very noisy all appeared fine.
Decided to try it out on a long length (about 4.2m) of oregon that is lying there waiting for me to finish the pergola with.
Took my time setting up 3 of the Triton multi-stands 1 on the in-feed side and 2 on the out-feed. There was no visible snipe on either end and I took off 2mm in the pass.
So for the uses I need a thicknesser for this seems to be money well spent and allows me to spend more money on other equipment which I consider to be of more use/value.

Just out of curiosity, what is the maximum you can take off at a time with these small thicknessers.
Use 90*90 pine as an example.

Hare and Forbes thicknesser
OK, thicknesser gurus. I know Hare and Forbes has an entry level thicknesser. I think its around $700 although I dont have a catalogue handy to confirm this. How does it compare to the brands you are talking about.
thanks

Arron,
They have a 12.5" 1500 watt (T-12B)for $459 made in China and a 13" 1600 watt (T-13)for $699, made in Taiwan.
Don't have either, so can't comment.

3mm is the theoretical maximum cut with any small thicknesser, but it very much depends on the range of factors you'd expect it to - width of cut, hardness of the timber, condition of the blades & rollers etc.
Try taking 3mm off a 12" wide Jarrah board and you're being a tad optimistic

Probably getting a bit off topic here, but since we're talking thicknessers ... does anyone know the size of the dust collection port on the DW7331? Is it the standard 4", or do you need some sort of connector to use it with a normal 4" hose?
Michael.

4" will work.
It also comes with an adaptor to step it down to 2.5". I don't know how effective the extraction would be through that size hose.
