Large planer near me Hampshire SO416DG

[Rob D]

Bit of a punt but is there anyone that knows of anyone else that has a large industrial planer/thicknesser near me?

 

There's a firm Farwells do but they've been too busy to do any recently.....

Hi Rob - a tree surgery company locally who I get logs from have a large (24 inch) planer thicknesser they want to sell. If memory serves they are looking for somewhere in the region of £1500 for it (though you might be able to haggle a little) and you'll get it delivered for around £150.

Cheers Jon but I'm really looking for someone who has one and wants to do a planing service by the hour (I don't have 3 phase here!)

[Big J]

No probs! I did see Chris Holmes again today and he said should you want the planer on the off chance, he's more than happy to chat to you about it.

Thanks Jon. There is a 3 phase invertor I could buy that goes up to 4 hp. Any idea of how many horsepower this machine is?

wrong wording

Chris reckons it's 6-7hp, so the inverter won't suffice sadly. With it running a 24 inch cutter, it needs a substantial motor.....

[Rob D]

Can you do me a favour Jon and get all the figures off the machine i.e. start up current etc. etc.

 

Just going to have a look at how else you could power it.

Best thing Rob might be to speak to Chris directly. If you google Chris Holmes Cabinet Maker, he has a website and blog with his contact details on it. He would be happy to chat to you about it.
