Planer Thicknesser Reviews Download To AIt looks like it could be no worse but you wont know till after you buy it. One query, are replacement blades available for it and how much will they set you back. Its likely to do as good a job as the Ryobi at bunnings thats almost double the money. That said take note of Bohdans advice re blades as there are quite a few different ones in those benchtop thickies. BTW my first thicknesser was a 200 ozito on special and I got 8 years out of it. It seems to me that the primary difference between this one and one twice the price is that this one has 2 HSS blades vs the ones twice the price have segmented cutter heads. Looks like Bunnings have price-dropped their Ryobi thicknesser (579 to 298) to match. Also price dropped a Ryobi scroll saw (149 to 89.89) and Ozito mitre saw (79.90 to 49), in response to Aldis special I guess. Thats a very good price on the Ryobi and at least you you would be able to get support should anything go wrong, unlike Aldi. If they can afford to cut the prices on those tools to that extent the tools should be available at a price much closer to the discounted price all the time. After all lower prices are just the beginning, what a crock. At those prices, almost worth having one to use for rough stock before putting it through a better model for good finish. I was a bit keen on getting the Aldi one for odd jobs but went for the Ryobi instead after seeing the price reduction. There were better options in the 500 to 600 dollar range but not at 300. It should be good for the pine pallet projects I do, though I best make sure I get all the nails out first. Seeing as the bunnings model is dropped to match aldi I think I would rather trust bunnings for the take back option as aldi looks to be quite a hastle in that department.
