Don't want anything fancy, just the front door could do with a shave as its a little tight.

 

[HERTS P&D]

That will do.
But do you know how to use it???

Lets just say I wouldn't take full advantage of all its settings.

 

[HERTS P&D]

Well you could go into the carpentry business.

I could buy one at that price!

I'm sure its a fantastic machine though.

That must be some door.

 

[joe-90]

I'd buy 2 whilst they are cheap.

 

[gregers]

blimey,do you need 2 people to use it

 

[ladylola]

I certainly wouldn't fancy using it at full depth of cut on my own

 

[swbjackson]

Do they do a cordless version?

 

[crank39]

Does it have handle bars and a seat?

Go on then, someone tell me why its so expensive.

What do you get for your fifteen hundered quid?

something to do with the size of the bloody thing,1 foot blade.
probably like using a planer/thicknesser machine but portable,boy bet its got a good kick back to it?

info normal planers have a blade width of approx 83mm.

wonder if you could use it to plane down some mouldings

Christ, I bet it's easy to lose fingers with that beast.
