Major tool for the wish list. Some notes to start the discussion.
Advantage to have a substantial cast-iron one, floor-standing, as this will be far more rigid and reliable than a portabe, bench-top one.
One (used) fitting this specification is available (Russell), needs space available and allocation for this purpose.
A movable one could be considered - e.g. http://www.recordpower.co.uk/product/10-x-6-planer-thicknesser - "The PT260 Planer Thicknesser has been slashed in price to an incredible £599.99 and still includes the pedal wheel kit! Also, the PT260 and CX2000 are available as a package deal for only £699.99, giving an even greater saving over these already keenly priced machines."
Advantages of a planer-thicknesser over a basic bench-top thicknesser - see Record Power leaflet Spring/Summer 2014 and Youtube (???)
