I wonder if titan watch these videos so they can upgrade their products. Thanks for assembly I couldn't have done it without you. I learn most things from RUclips but the adverts kill me!. Thanks again.
Having just purchased the said planer viewing this video made assembly so easy. Up and running in much less than an hour and as you said, you cant knock it fir the money. So!! Grumpy's Workshop deserves a huge thank you, so!! thank you.
Just bought mine. Different make (I live in New Zealand) but it is exactly the same thing. The instructions that came with it is rubbish and I have spend an hour struggling before looking for help on you tube. Your instructions are excellent and has addressed all the areas I had issues with. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
@@thiesam6012 I purchased the TOOLSHED THICKNESSER/PLANER BENCH TOP from The ToolShed in New Zealand. Looks exactly like the titan planer in this video. Very happy with it for my garage workshop as a weekend warrior. I have now used it to both joint and then plane some rough sawn hardwood and it did a good job for my needs.
TQ for the excellent review. I bought a unit and the knob that lower/raise the planer tray get stuck at every turn of the knob. called the supplier and was told to expect some hesitation .. it was a struggle until i watched this video showing the chain adjustment underneath the unit. After adjustment then is no hesitation at all. Again thanks and keep your good work.
I bought this machine second hand and I’ve got to say, now I’ve watched your video, I’m really all set to use the machine. Mine didn’t make the click as I wound the thicknesser bed up though!? I’m yet to switch on so let’s see if I need to adjust anything or it lets me use it without having had the click! Great informative video. Thank you 👍
very informative and well presented. yes that nut under the the dust extractor is a right pain in the a**s to do up, when comes off next its staying off, thanks for sharing that tip
Hi Gurmpy, (I find this is addressing very funny indeed) One of the best comprehensive presentations I have come across on RUclips. Very useful to anyone who wants to use this Titan Thicknesser. You deserve a massive thank you for making things simple. Please can you tell me what are the dimensions of the blades in mm? Best of luck. Thank you.
Thanks for the video mate.. I just bought one of these from ScrewFix in Dublin yesterday but I had to pay 219 Euros.. The exchange and VAT is a bloody nightmare.. I also bought the Titan Table saw as well.. If I get good joy from them both I may go back for the BandSaw as well.. LMAO.. I'm in the process of setting up my own workshop atm so this video helped me out a fair bit bro.. Nice one again anyways and I will be looking in to see if u have any more decent vids to watch as well.. I liked and Sub'd to ur channel too btw.. Salute to u Sir..
Thanks mate appreciate that. If you have Aldi in Ireland the ferrex bandsaw is well worth the money & probably better than the titan. Its available over here in store as I write this.
I had a problem with a wobbly fence for the table saw. there is a guide on how to fix it by adding something into the clamp on RUclips. It 100% works. I did it to mine and now its fine. Just encase you are having the same issue. Here's the video. not done by me but helped me fix the issue. ruclips.net/video/1UbuXq0td1E/видео.html
Thanks for this. It was a really big help while assembling it! Much better than trying to refer to the manual. I wonder if just screwing a piece of flat mdf to the fence would make it any better? Just a thought.
I think MDF screwed to the fence should work ok as I noticed a fine adjustment screw at the bottom of the fence support for correcting any error in the 90°. Did you notice it?
@The Miniature Workshop can you share the link here mate ill definitely watch it. Cheers mate hope you have a good Christmas and a happy new year. All the best 🎉😊🎊
@Recycling Pallets Hi, I've just set mine up today. Thicknesser works fine but the planer is WAY out. The Outfeed table is higher than the blade, and not a small amount, but a good 1.5mm any ideas on how to change it?
Got to agree with you I don't find changing the dust collector over that much of a faf, especially if you plane all the timber first and thickness after, I noticed when ( at time 6.37) when you removed the bolt to replace with the knob you also removed the square silver spacer, i don't think you do that just remove the bolt and washer, at least that's how I set mine up. (hope that makes sense)
i have been looking into getting a planer/thicknesser for a while now with the added option of being able to do jointing as well this machine im thinking is a must have but could you tell me if you leave the blade guard off of the top will the machine still work? just i do alot of jointing bigger boards and it look to me as if the guard would get in the way once standing by the side of the machine
It will still operate with the sliding guard off although when jointing narrow boards its advisable to use it. The dust shroud has to be fitted for the machine to operate as it operates the safety switches. I suppose you could override them if you really wanted to but its easy enough to fit
The only thing I had hoped u would show us was u using a piece of actual pallet wood that needed cleaning up so we could see the real difference.. That would've been awesome my friend.. Maybe u could do a quick follow up one day to let us see how it works on dirty pallet boards & give us a proper close up of the machine in action.. Just me thinking out loud bro.. I still enjoyed this video..
I've recently bought this. I found the planer infeed table a pain to get level. The fence was level. Ran some timber through the planer and thicknesser, timber was square. Didn't find the dust shroud a pain to change over. Did notice there are two bolts behind the main cover to loosen the planer in-feed table which the instructions didn't mention. Over all very impressed for the price. How long will it last? Only time will tell. Great vid, keep it up.
Thank God I have found someone else who has had the same problem with getting the in-feed bed level . Where are the 2 bolts sited for getting the in-feed bed level . I adjust the depth of cut by turning the dial on the end of the bed but the dial end of the bed stays at its highest position . Thanks in advance for your help mate .
at 7:40. You may have play because you also left the guide out. I think the metal guide is meant to be left in and just the bold and spring washer get removed.
I think with all these cheap planer thicknessers the outfeed supports are too short & theres no adjustment. That being said the snipe ive had is not really noticable. Not really a problem for the stuff i make anyway
Bought one of these at the weekend, and after a few light test passes in both modes it clunked about a bit and then stopped altogether. Took it back to Screwfix and swapped it over with no bother. Haven't yet run the new one because I wanted to watch this video and make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. Doesn't seem like I was. But I have noticed that the infeed table lock handle just goes round and round and doesn't appear to tighten or do anything at all (but it seemed fine on the previous broken one). I'll take it off and see if there's something visibly wrong. I paid £179.99 for mine.
For a budget planer thicknesser it's ok. Fence ain't great buy works well in thicknesser mode. Havnt used mine in ages so can't remember what the leaver on mine is like. Thanks for watching
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 I worked out that it probably does nothing and the screw without the handle does that just as well anyway. I’ve had some decent results on it tonight so I’ll keep going with it. Quite impressed for the cost. Keep up the great videos!
Hi Great video,just one thing that confuses Me.when you remove the hex bolt and flat washer for the in feed locking knob, you also remove an insert.The instructions don't mention removing this insert.
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 Cheers...looking to buy one soon...really need one...Screwfix don't sell these in Ireland currently but wanted to compare all the cheaps ones to have some sort of bench mark. thanks for the feedback....
@@Kottesque i got mine off ebay from a company called iforce_marketzone. They do reconditioned or new stuff with damaged packaging. £120 new they sell a few of these. Worth keeping an eye out
I cringed watching your video at 13:19, your thumb was over the back edge of the wood you were passing over the rotating cutter block, nothing protecting you if it slipped, use either a pusher stick or pusher pad, I know there are shops called “Second hand shops” but that isn’t meant literally.
Thankyou for your concern. That was the first time using the machine & i agree that was not the safest way to do it. I have made chunky pushsticks since that i try to use. Thanks for watching my friend
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 As you say, it is your first experience a P/T, and anyway you have had it around three months by now, but can I point you to this video: ruclips.net/video/lUCb-J8zP8U/видео.html Matt does a really good demonstration on how to use one effectively and safely. I have had a Woodstar P/T for over ten years now, and I still found it useful.

No worries, that could work aslong as its straight & flat. It's a shame the fence doesn't slide backwards and forwards so you can use all the blade

@@Fossy35 I seem to remember there was some adjustment but it's been a while since I last used it.
Good breakdown mate. I agree it's good for the money, I only used mine in the thicknesser mode as the planer was out of square. 😊
Thinking i might build a better fence at some point.
@@GrumpysWorkshop4 good idea mate and would make a decent video. 😁
