    Default Anyone heard of Wellington Wood Machines New Zealand. 15" Planer - Thicknesser

    Hi All, Can anyone shed some light on 'Wellington Wood Machines NewZealand' as a brand??
    I'm looking at purchasing (second hand) one of their Planers a 22-680 which looks ALOT like the Delta DC-380. I'm almost certain it's the same unit just rebranded. Nothing came up with a quick google search.
    I guess i'm looking for confirmation for spare parts etc..

    I've never heard of them. I doubt it was made here in Wellington, New Zealand. Most likely a short-lived dealer who imported machines with their name on.

    It bears more than a passing resemblance to these fellas from Carbatec, across the ditch..







    ..in case that helps. I see them for sale regularly.

    I'd expect they'd go for +- $1000 depending on size & condition..

    This exact 15" thicknesser is sold by grizzly, jet, carbatec, Sherwood, etc.

    I bought a 2nd hand one for $700 here in Melbourne and I love it. Easy to maintain and look after. Lots of manuals available online.

    Yeah I have the 15" with the under cabinet motor with a Jet badge but the same machine is sold under probably a hundred different brands worldwide. Would imagine this is much the same.
