Piallatrice da banco 152 mm, 1100 W

I bought this machine as it was on special offer and I hadn't really considered one before as I used a thicknesser so bought it on a whim. I have to say that it seems really solid and well made and after putting it together I checked all the adjustments as per the instructions and to my surprise I didn't need to alter anything. All of the factory settings were perfect for the blade height and the pre-set fence settings for 45, 90 and 135 degrees!
I ran a piece of wood through as a test piece and it straightened the surface and then with that surface against the fence it produced a perfect square edge.
I look forward to using this machine as it is going to make any projects so much easier as I can now get perfect straight square edges before running them through the thicknesser to produce the required thickness board etc.
To summarise, in my opinion Triton have produced a "Good solid well made tool" that in my case was perfectly set up with no adjustments required as received.

Come ogni elettroutensile di un certo tipo, richiede che l’utente vi prenda un minimo di manualità. Ho controllato le regolazioni di fabbrica e mi è sembrata già a posto. Prodotto al limite tra l’hobby ed il professionale, per quel poco che l’ho utilizzato mi ha soddisfatto più che sufficientemente. Ho spianato perfettamente delle tavole notevolmente torte, riuscendo a spianarle perfettamente. Sono più che soddisfatto dell’acquisto al momento, ci va solo un po di tecnica come in ogni cosa.

Had this device just over 18months now. Initially very impressed. The indeed and out feed table were co-planer to about 0.1mm over the entire length of the outfield table. Seemed to work fine initially but was taking more of the front of the work piece than the back. I actually started finishing workpieces with my number 7 hand-plane. Anyway I eventually investigated a bit further, the blades were too low, less than a mm but still to low. I (eventually) adjusted then and it now cuts much better. BUT a word of warning, the bolts holding the blade seemed to have thread lock applied. I eventually got all but 2 bolts out intact but I had to resort to cutting a slot in the last two and using a drift to tap them loose. This ruined the bolts. The bolts looked like M6 with a 1.25mm thread pitch (a very odd size), they are not! They are imperial UNC 1/4 2o tpi. All this typing is to assist others if they hit this problem. I didn't expect imperial bolts !

I don't know what I ever did without this planer. It's the business.
It is well made and solid piece of kit. The blade height adjuster is good and the fence allows you to make accurate angle cuts. The dust extractor port collects the vast majority of dust with little spilling out elsewhere. I mounted the planer on a table with castors so I can wheel it wherever I want it. I am more than satisfied with my new baby.

I haven't test it properly, but it seems like a good tool. The large handle is broken during installing the paner, and one of the cutter have some signs, but the rest is just fine.
