    Default Carbatec 13 inch helical desktop thicknesser

    So I bought one of these last week.

    It's very good - better than I thought it would be. I have put hard and softwood through it up to 13 inches.

    And I believe right now it's on special for $999.

    I wish I bought one years ago.

    Hi Scott,

    How have you found this jointer? I'm in the market to upgrade from my old 12" Carbatec straight blade thicknesser. Is there still a bad amount of snipe?

    Thanks

    So far so good, but I'm just a backyard hobbyist.
    No snipe, but that might be due more to luck than skill.
    Sometime i put a following board through, and sometimes I lift it slightly as it exits the machine.
