Took a chance on something other than one of the big name brands few days back and bought a Triton 180mm planer to dress up some recently milled 5 & 6 inch beams.  Screwfix job and 3 yr warranty so if no good it will be heading back. Saves using the 300mm makita planer on narrow beams and is half the weight. Initial impressions are very good, quiet and leaves a decent finish.

Hi jd, I've noticed those planers before and thought they might be useful, would you recommend them, I suppose the blades would be special order?

Well I can’t comment on longevity just yet but with a 3 yr warranty from a crowd the size of screwfix hopefully it will work itself out one way or another.  triple blade set up on the drum held in by multiple grub screws, Not sure as of yet regards replacing them etc. 
As I said up to now I’m impressed, quiet, reasonably light and it seems quite powerful in use and leaves a very good finish. Just under £230 good reviews and a cracking warranty. If I get any grief with it I’ll put it straight on the forum but yeah bearing in mind the above caveat ref longevity I’d say yes  why not ?
