What does the Wood Whisperer think about running end-grain through the planer. Most bench top planer manuals. A heavy duty thicknesser I use a 20. F22-564/250 Planer thicknesser with max planing mm 254 and max height 120 mm-max planing width: 254 mm-range of cutting depth: from 0 up to 120 mm.

Hello, I have just bought a Fox F36-540 table saw and wondered if anyone had any experience of them? I haven't used the fox before, I have used a lot of saw benches over the years, both DIY and industrial saws. Most saw benches do the same job, basically to rip, cut and dimension timber, sheet materials and acrylics. About the only difference seems to be capacity and motor power. I have just had a quick look on rutlands web site and have had a quick look at the saw.

Is it as impressive as their write up? Is there an inquiry that you want an answer to chris? Al Hello Al, Just wondered what if anything anyone else thought of Fox machineryand this new saw in particular. Yes it IS impressive, well thought out and very robust construction. Built it up yesterday and it cut dead square first time, scoring blade was spot on in line with the main blade, the outrigger is a very good piece, no slop or shakes. Only thing I did not like was the crown guard,so I swapped it for the one on my Scheppach TS2500 Considering a Fox planer thicknesser now.

My first machinery purchase (three-and-a-half-years-ago!) a £200 FOX table saw (36-525, no longer available) and it turned out to be a waste of money. I then bought the 5/8' morticer from Rutlands for £130 and I've been very impressed with this.

The fence wasn't perfectly square but you can shim out a piece of MDF to sit on its face for this. If you're looking at the same planer-thicknesser I'm thinking of, then it's a clone of the Axminster model I own - excellent value and build quality; you won't get a better machine for the same money or less.

Plus, the FOX comes with a two-year warranty. I don't really have one general opinion of their range. Like all the other manufacturers at this level; some of their stuff is good, some of it's just not worth bothering with. It really does pay to browse the internet (including sites like this) to find people with personal experience before parting with your cash.

Thanks for the info on the Planer/Thicknesser OPJ, It does look a substantial unit. I have a Scheppach HM260 that I bought new a long time ago and whilst it is fine, never had a problem, I just fancy a change.It was the same with the Scheppach 2500 table saw and the Fox.and to be honest I think the Fox is as good as if not better than the Scheppach.Certainly for sheet handling, ease of use of the sliding table ( and removal especially) and a built in fine rip adjustor. I had a Fox table saw before, the earlier 10' sliding table type with outrigger ( The one that Record made a fuss about and had stopped) and while this was a little 'unfinished' IE: The table needed remounting square to the arbour, the fences and holdowns were too flimsy, the dust extraction was hopeless and quite a few other niggles, it was at the heart of it a good machine spoiled by a poor finish and build quality and lightweight accessories.

Nevertheless, that same saw ( with a few slight home brew improvements) is going strong, having spent the last 4 years working 6 days a week in a timber yard! With not a single breakdown! Thats one of the reasons I decided on a Fox. Apart from I really wanted to get away from the limiting factor of a fixed beam type sliding carriage like SIP, Axminster, Scheppach etc etc. Whilst these might be great for working with smaller dimensions of materials they do not offer any support or rigidity once you get any weight hung over the edge of the carriage. This new Fox has a very substantial telescopic type rigger and there is zero play! Plus the sliding table itself is made from 40mm steel box section welded together.
