Portable spiral cutter Thicknessers
Hi there,
I've read with interest some of the posts on thicknessers although there doesnt seem to be many threads on the new spiral cutter thicknessers in the portable range. I have my eyes on either the Hafco Woodmaster T-13S $627 (patented helical cutter head) and the Carba-Tec CT-330X (spiral head) $680 on special. Being a hobbyist and having limited space I have decided to go portable and not spend too much money. I have not owned Hafco/Carba-Tec previously. I am interested in any of your experiences with the brands, build quality, reliability etc. A couple things I noticed was that the Carba-Tec is 38kg and has option of Tungsten blades, Hafco is 30kg and there is only mention of HSS inserts. Both are 2.4hp.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts/comments.
Cheers, Bill
