When I worked for a short time in a cabinet and millwork shop these devices were called planners but as we are not using a planning blade but sanding down I guess a thickness machine or "thicknesser" works. In using a planner the operator had to be careful not to feed the stock in too fast or definite scallops from the blades would result so a slow feed allowed multiple cuts well overlapped producing a smooth surface not requiring much sanding for final finishing.

Now what will be said when your work covers the nice top of that p
I Purchased the Prooxon Thicknesser DH 40, last week, and used the machine yesterday

How do you like that Mantua vise? Does it help much tapering planks?
I have one (Article 8155) which is the foot long metal vise. I have not had much luck holding long thin strips/plans for long tapers. I have not been successful so far in getting a full purchase and the plank wants to pivot. So the jury is out now for me but I'll keep trying before going hands down for planks. I don't know about gripping a keel for a model as I don't have one to try it on and my upcoming Bluenose is much longer than the vise. I think that I will turn the whole build-board and bulkheads on the side to do planking but that is in the future to see what works best. PT-2
After using mine tonight, be careful to examine the direction of the grain in the plank that you may be trimming down with a knife like the illustration. I did not look at that and the grain took over and my intended line went into the deep six, pulling up the plank even though it was as tight as I thought it could be. Maybe thick planks will be easier but 1/32 inch down at the 1/8 inch width are a problem for me. I do better slowly sanding the edge taper bit with care I only occasionally fracture the piece (along the grain line again) and have to start with a new piece, supposing that the lumber supply is adequate for this nibbling awy at the inventory. Let me know how yours works out and for which sizes. Thanks, PT-2
Some days ago I received the small (but very fine) precision circular saw from Alexander alias @Alex_M . who is producing this kind of saw in very small numbers.
I am planning to use it for gratings and other very fine works.
Size is smaller like the well known Proxxon FET - but much more accurate - you can compare the size of the machine with the ruler (in cm)
BTW: It is the same saw like @Olivers Historic Shipyard

Hello Uwe. It does look a precision tool, indeed. What arbor size and saw blades this saw can accept?
10 or 16mm holes
50 * 0,5mm HSS or 63 * 0,6mm are possible
The Proxxon saw blades sizes for the small saw Proxxon KS 230 are fitting
Cool looking tool with an interesting variation for the slide and mounting of the angle device. PT-2
The saw is my best horse to cut small wooden stripes ! Good buy.
Also a new baby arrived - and I am so happy
A baby which is not so loud like others ....... and I use more or less every day the disc sander, and it is one of my most important power tool.
Until now I had the bigger Proxxon, but the disc had already a small unbalance and is too loud, therefore I was looking around for a new good quality disc sander.
The new one is the Hegner disc sander with 20cm diameter - the HEGNER HSM 200 S - Disc Sander or "Scheibenschleifmaschine"
www.hegner-gmbh.com
15kg total weight - the speciality of this sander is the fact, that you are not tilting the table, but the motor with the disc and the table is permanently fixed and horizontal.
In some time I will show the tool in a review
and this tool is sooooo silent ......... In the meantime I am an absolute HEGNER fan

Wow thats a super neat thought, tilting the motor instead of the table. I love it!
Wise technology thought. The first time I see a tilting motor for disk sanders. Enjoy!
