Scheppach PLM1800 Planner-thicknesser: Unboxing & Review

Watch my review of the Scheppach PLM1800 planer-thicknesser. It comes with a few attachments, extractor outlet and push stick, see how I get on unboxing and setting it up ready to plain some wood down to size. Hopefully it will save me some money in the long run, being able to size up lengths of timber myself. Another perfect little workshop power tool for the every day woodworker, DIYer and hobbyist.

As a woman, I bought one as well. I have so much old wood laying around I could make walls, art etc.❤

[@mjsimo1]

That is awesome! and really good to hear it's not only men that have interest in wood working. I would recommend getting a little handheld metal detector if your going to use old wood just in case of that hidden nail or screw.

[@EevaL.-em3eq]

@@mjsimo1 good advice! Thank You. I will look for that small thing. There will be nails somewhere on the way for sure, extra pair of cutting blades are needed.

Followed your link and brought one yesterday, and it arrived today 😊 just gave if a quick try straight out of the box, and it does give a decent finish

[@mjsimo1]

Well done even if one person gets something out of watching, cheers and thanks you.

Great video Mark, I've been looking for one of these but can't really justify spending £600 on a Dewalt or Makita (as much as I'd like to!) I've had Scheppach tools before and not had any problems so it looks like a no brainer to me, my next purchase I think! I hope you're still happy with it a few months on?

[@mjsimo1]

Thanks for watching and glad it helped out a bit. They hover around £300 mark, so not to bad a price. Like yourself I didn't want to spend too much, it's a great useful little machine, a tad on the noisy side so get some good ear defenders.

[@edbrumby2891]

i would have liked to see how the extraction hood fitted. see a few negative reports about the suction but of course they dont say what suction device they are using

[@mjsimo1]

Hi, thanks for watching. It's a plastic hood screwed to the rear with two thumb turns, easy on & off. Extraction wise I have one of these type www.screwfix.com/p/scheppach-dc100-215m-hr-electric-l-class-dust-extractor-230v/432xg it does the job for small jobs most of the time. But it can get full quickly if planning a lot of timber and if shaving are large yes rear outlet can get clogged, so I just leave it off and sweep mess up afterwards, use a good mask?

[@Trotsetukker]

I have the same one.
Unfortunately I did't use it for quite a bit. But for the price it's a decent machine.
But some advise: use ear protection!

thanks.

You mentioned rollers on the top? What function do they serve?

[@mjsimo1]

When you're planning timber you pass the wood back over the top of the machine and rollers aid that process.

[@4DXTProductions]

Hello do you still use this and would you recommend it now?

[@mjsimo1]

Yes, great little low cost machine. I use it at least twice a week. Downside is, it's a bit noisy.

[@4DXTProductions]

@@mjsimo1 I believe all thickness planers are noisie. I've been looking at this one and one of the dewalt ones. Thank you for getting back to me.

[@09bilge]

Hello is this only thicknesser or planner and thicknesser?

[@mjsimo1]

Hi, this one is just a thicknesser.
