Just ordered one too, but it has to get taken away by SWMBO until my 60th next February, along with the new fly fishing rod I don't get until Christmas.

Well mine arrived today big shout out to Timbecon awesome service also excellent service from Toll.
Cannot believe just how good the helical segmented head is. Ran a test piece through, no discernable snipe, silky smooth finish x 10

Had mine a week now and made over 100 passes and very pleased with the smoothness of the finish. I think snipe is unavoidable but manageable. I spent a long time leveling the tables even adding supports to stop the tables flexing but snipe is still there but its hardly noticeable but you can feel it. Through curiosity I might try adding a long flat melamine bed or torsion box as I've seen on youtube to see if that eliminates it but I won't loose sleep over it if I can't. There are plenty of work arounds. I was worried the day I got it that I couldn't lower the cutters below about 25mm. The handle just wouldn't turn until I noticed the knob on the right side. Set it to about 12mm and suddenly the handle could turn again. I felt like an idiot.
Is that repeat setting knob useful? I can't see its value. I'm not sure its even accurate. I haven't tested that but I have tested the depth gauge and it is spot on. Given the spiral cutters and the 5 year warranty I think this is the best value unit out there and I've researched all of them. I just hope longevity is good.

This page gives a pretty good insight into what causes snipe on small benchtop planers and why platforms are unlikely to eliminate snipe completely.

I had seen that site before but I did try the platform, made sure it was flat and level to the bed, I even waxed it and you're right the result was no better. So keeping the infeed and outfeed tables level with the bed does a good enough job. This is my first thicknesser so I'm still learning. Time to make something rather than thinking about snipe given that its manageable. I must admit I do get bit anal on things like this. I remember when I got my sawstop I spent days making sure every adjustment was perfect. I definitely suffer from that well known disease dial indicatoritis.

Toll van showed up today with two thicknessers, "I'm just delivering them, happy Christmas" I told him I'd take it & contact Timbecon to get it sorted. After he left I had a close look at the delivery labels & noticed one was for someone else in Macksville. Gave him a call & arranged to take it over to him. SWMBO said while I was out the Toll driver come back with a very worried look on his face. He was very relieved when she told him I'd sorted it & was taking it to the correct owner.
Now I just have to wait until February to open mine.
