TPT125 1100W Thicknesser 317MM

I took delivery of this a couple of weeks ago but have only just started using it properly. The machine seems to be very robustly made indeed and although it has handles to move it around, it would be best sited semi-permanently because it's quite heavy. I have mine bolted to an old Black & Decker Workmate and and although this was meant to be a temporary measure, it seems to be working well and although heavy, it's relatively easy to move around if I need to make space so I may leave it as it is. The first tough job I've used it for has been the re-sizing of ancient pitch pine to dress out a log cabin which we're building and I'm well impressed. Pitch pine is denser then normal pine and it's also heavy with resin so it's a good test of the machine. I've been resizing timber off the saw to a variety of sizes, thicknesses and widths. The impressive thing is that every single finished face is flawless, regardless of thickness, width or length; other than prepping for varnish or oil, there's no further work to be done. One reviewer has complained about waste of the first inch or so of the timber, I have experienced none of this so I assume he is not feeding the timber flat on the workbed. Once fed (properly), the machine self-feeds the timber at a manageable speed, releasing it for an easy grab at the other side. Likewise, he has complained of it being noisy. It's a very powerful electric motor driving wide blades at very high speed so it will be noisy in a confined space but I find it only a little more noisy than my bench saw or my radial arm saw. You can always work with your iPod and noise-cancelling headphones! I've only tried a few offcuts of some very hard heart of oak and they've come out as smooth as the pitch pine has but I've yet to give it a scare with any very wide oak but I'm pretty sure that if I'm modest with each cut then it'll perform ok. How the blades will retail their sharpness, only time will tell. Sharing the load across the width of the blades should help to give even wear. Finally, the instructions are pretty clear, not that it's a complicated piece of machinery to operate, but there is none of the head-scratching poor translation cryptology or, sadly, the howlers you get when the Chinese have a go at translating without the help of Google. All in all, a good buy and I'm very pleased with it indeed.

Really pleased with the Triton Planer Thicknesser, really good build quality and performance. Only downside is that it does shower wood chips all over the place but this was easily overcome when I purchased a collector bin to use with a Vacum attached.

I was a little anxious🤔 when I found it impossible to secure the adjustment handle as the screw hole had been drilled off centre. A few seconds on the pillar drill and an additional washer and every thing was fine (lost a star here). Very easy to use, simple to set up. Very good finish on softwood (I've not had a chance to use it on hardwood yet). I found this provided an flat surface with about 0.013 thinner on one side compared with the other. The blades are simple to change with no obvious facility to adjust them. I may try shimming if I need to improve this aspect. The blades have two cutting faces and can be turned to use the second edge. No issues in using this machine other than clearing up the huge amount of shavings that can be produced. 🙂

I have been looking around for a thicknesser for about six months, I have read reviews and watched many videos! Of course if money wasn't a consideration I would have spent much more! I have seen a few thicknessers for less than this model but not many, in the end it came down to this one a dewalt and Makita both approximately £200.00 more, when I looked at reviews the Makita and Dewalt had slightly more negative responses! So I opted for the Triton !, it arrived on time well packaged and nothing missing, the set up was so easy I checked twice thinking I must have missed something. I set it up yesterday and had it running to test it, I started with a piece of pallet wood 2x4 inch and about 4ft length, it was quite rough and had a few knots , in no time it was worked to an impressive squired block, it was smooth and wouldn't require sanding, from there I passed many pieces of softwood through the machine all passed my tests, any errors were due to me not the machine for example not noticing a piece tapering wood and setting the height for the thin end, it jammed, I pressed stop raised the cutting head turned the wood reset the high , continuing to pass it through the machine, when the rollers loose contact I manual pushed and the pulled it through eventual the wood was square and smooth, so far I am happy with the machine and purchase ,after all it is a budget machine I didn't have overly high expectations however I am more than pleased.

Had this for exactly a year I have used it around 4 times one of these was to test it with a piece of pine one of the blades already had a dent on it but could sand out the marks so turned the blade over like new again, the other times made some planters again all pine all good no troubles then finally went to use this for a bigger project a pine coffee table turned the machine on without any wood and had some smoking , I took the brushes out they were gone swapped in some new brushes now it trips my fuse board so I can only assume it has a fault with the electrics/motor, 1 year ownership £320 4 uses at £80 per use, maybe go for a higher end brand/ model I only went for this as it will only have occasional use, to be fair they do have a 3 year warranty but you NEED to register to get it I neglected to do this so thats my fault.

Pialla ottima, liscia il legno che è una meraviglia, così finemente che volendo non serve nemmeno scartavetrare, i segni delle lame si vedono solo controluce e sono finissimi, infatti per toglierli ho dato una passata rapida con grana 400 e sono scomparsi immediatamente tanto li lascia piccoli. Le larghezze massime piallabili più generose rispetto alla maggior parte delle pialle di questo tipo sono estremamente utili. Anche con legni molto duri non fa una piega, ho provato faggio, mogano e wengé (durissimo) e non ha affatto sforzato né peggiorato la finitura. In più il problema dello "snipe" (all'inizio ed alla fine del pezzo le pialle a spessore lasciano alcuni centimetri più bassi rispetto al resto della tavola, e questo viene chiamato snipe in inglese) è piuttosto ridotto, la scanalatura ha una profondità ridottissima.

Da meine (zwei Jahre alt) Chinesische ("all in one") Abricht/Dickenhobelmaschine den Geist aufgegeben hat , brauchte ich eine neue . Am Anfang sollte es eine Metabo ,Dewalt bzw Makita sein , aber als ich die Preise sah , wurden diese Maschinen sofort ausgeschlossen . So blieb nur diese Triton uebrig , die 295 euros kostete , und in meinem Preissegment lag. Erstmals sollte man darauf aufpassen , dass es sich hier nur um einen Dickenhobel handelt , also ein Abricht ist nicht vorhanden. Die Maschine hat eine sehr gute Qualitaet , alles sieht (und ist) Hochwertig aus . Der Hebel laueft einwandfrei , und sie ist sehr leicht bedienbar . Das Tauschen der Messer ist auch sehr einfach . Der Tisch besteht insgesamt aus drei Teilen , der mittlere ist aus Inox , und die anderen zwei (klappbaren) Teile aus hardem dicken Blech (also kein Aluminium oder Stahl) . Das ist der einzige Schwachpunkt der Maschine , weil man nicht wissen kann wie lange diese zwei Teile halten warden . Mich persoenlich stoert das nicht , weil man diese Teile leicht tauschen kann , aber andere wird es vielleicht doch stoeren . Das wichtigste aber Kriterium solcher Maschinen ist das Holzbild nach dem Hobeln , und da bekommt die Maschine eine "sehr gut" Note . Sie hobelt schnell , gut and man kann den Tiefschnitt mit Hilfe einer Skala (in inc und cm) sehr leich regeln . Alles im allen eine sehr gute Maschine fuer den Hobbybastler , sicher keine Metabo bzw Dewalt , kostet ja aber nur 300 euros und nicht 600 oder 700 , und sicher viel besser als all dieser "all in one" Chinashrott , den man under verschiedenen Namen im Markt finden kann. Wenn man also kein Abricht braucht , auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Je possède déjà une raboteuse/dégauchisseuse et je souhaitais utiliser cette raboteuse en "dépotage" ... Mais je l'utilise en raboteuse principale... Les réglages sont précis et faciles et la qualité du rabotage est nickel pour peu que l'on ne veuille pas enlever trop de matière en une seule passe. Je recommande

Cepilla muy bien, tanto como aglomerado como elondo. En mi opinión entra y sale la pieza muy rápido, nos entendemos...que te da tiempo de sobra a coger la pieza por el otro lado de la salida. La salida es muy fluida, como las profesionales, correcto. Para el ajuste y cambio de cuchillas, tiene un sistema de seguridad que bloquea automáticamente el tambor giratorio, correcto y seguro. Toda la maquina en si, por mi parte aunque sea portátil es muy muy robusta y da una sensación indescriptible, que hasta un árbol puedas meter por esa boca,(no literal ojo). Por el momento muy contento, ya puedo reciclar maderas de obras, por que no pienso gastar ni un duro en materia prima.jajaja UN CONSEJO...si RECICLAIS maderas como yo, revisar claro esta, que no este lleno de clavos, grapas etc etc y en ciertas tarimas de elondo u otras maderas mas blandas de TARIMAS etc etc...suelen tener pegado corcho de otras reformas, pero a su vez suele tener pegamento con arena incrustada en ella, eso DESAFILA LAS CUCHILLAS, no me ha pasado, pero una pasada con una lija suave ayudaría mucho en el acabado final para quitar esa arenilla o resto que pueden desafilar las cuchillas. AMAZON GENIAL ¿QUE VAMOS A DECIR? ( aunque se podría comentar a los proveedores, si a la hora del envío podría ser mas discreta la caja, pues se ha enterado todo el vecindario de que me he comprado una cepilladora, por las enormes fotos que vienen en la caja jajajaja)

conforme à mes attentes, fait le job pour une machine de ce type
