The unit works really well. Here for the first time I’ve just run some timber through the thicknesser and now cleaning up the edges.
One thing I’m already thinking about is uneven blade wear. The fence side of the blades is going to get a lot of use which is likely to show up when using the thicknesser. If that fence could be moved across the table that would even out blade wear.
Finally making some progress to setup and configure a PVR that will record IPTV stuff on Windows 10. Here is a peek…more to come.

Raining outside so we’ll potter in the shed today. Made some improvements to the dust extractor for the planer thicknesser machine and then did some computer stuff.
Modified a pipe clamp for the output end and used some double-sided foam tape (only one side peeled off) for a neater more leak proof connection. The angle is now easily adjusted.
Took a while but finally got around to setting up Kodi TV using the PVR IPTV Simple Client for NZ and AU IPTV.
After having a play with the machine just running a couple of pieces of timber through thicknesser made a mess. We need to rig up some dust extraction.
The extraction port is 100mm; that's big !!!...so came up with this solution.
Stormwater U bend push fit into the extractor port.
Lolly tin cover with inside cut out for dog food tin - soldered.
Sink 90 degree plumbing fitting with vacuum hose push fit.
After Sunday market went to Woolworths Wheelers Hill to do a bit of shopping - bloody hell !!!
Empty shelves…
