The final video in my Titan Thickness Planer series, this time it's a quick change of the blades how-to, and seeing how the machine now runs.
For a budget jointer/thicknesser, I think we've done pretty well over the last couple of weeks.
Thanks again to all who have watched, and I am very pleased that some people have found these videos useful :)

Thank you Dean, I have really enjoyed this series. I have one of these beasts but I have not used it yet, waiting for the better weather so I can use it outside and not fill my shed with wood shavings 🤣 I look forward to your future capers.

Much appreciated. It was certainly a journey but I’m pleased I did it because I’m convinced it runs better, but now I know how it works I’m more likely to be able to fix it if things go wrong in the future 😊

I thought I was going to have to strip my Makita thicknesser yesterday, when using a planer jig to clean up some antique teak. The rollers were skidding on the varnish, so I put some anti slip mat on top of the jig, but under the wood. Somehow that mat got into the cutter head (all of it) and it made a poop inducing noise. Luckily everything is fine, but another lesson learned: next time will take the extra five minutes and hot glue it to the jig.

Nice work Dean. Matt over at Badger Workshop used to have one and he sharpened his old blades and got loads more life out of them. Might be worth thinking about

@WoodworkJourney 2 жыл бұрын
Oh for sure, sharpening blades is a great idea and KZfaq has a bunch of jig tutorials for doing it. If you’re like me though and put a massive dent in a blade by being a moron and forgetting to check for screws and nails, the softer cheap blades for these machines can be stuffed

brilliant series on the Titan planer/thicknesser Dean mate. I have one of these and it took me ages to get it to turn on and stay on. It was down to not having the dust extractor on correctly in the beginning. So I kept my finger on the start button to keep it runnig and turned the thicknesser thingy until it clicked just enough to keep ut running. What happened was it chewed part of the plastic up and it came flying out in the wash tbh.. LMAO but ni it's working fine atm. This is a decent little machine tbh. I got some really nice finishes on lengths of hardwood pallet wood.. The wood was manky looking bcos of the age of it and years of use I suppose but this little bad boy planer cleaned it up to a tee. I also have a huge problem with the fence. I cannot lock it down bcos one of those yellow plastic jobbys cracked. I need to find oneline soon or otherwise I wil have to weld it or someth to keep it from ever moving and I won't be using the 45 angle anyways so maybe I just need to weld it down to the 90 degree angle for good? I'm in the process of kitting out my shop over the Xmas hols. I will be building my proper workbench and making some shelving and cabinets also. Plus some wall mounted tool areas. I'm also going to take a stab at building my 1st ever CNC Router too btw. Have u ever used one mate? Check these things out if u havent.. They can do some awesome designs on wood or even maybe a CNC Laser would be a good investment ofr ur business if u get it moving bro.. They're cheap enough to buy on sites now. I bought a Laser engraver for 230 euros but now I have to wait for it to be delivered. They ran out of stock so I have to wait for it to come back in. It's been a month now but i think it'll be well worth the wait bro,, Amazon and Banggood do some great ones if ur interested in looking into that

Best of luck sorting out your shop over Xmas! I know about CNC and laser machines, but I don’t really have the space and certainly not the cash for one - I’d have to do some serious saving to get 300 smackaroos ! You can always make an adjustable fence for the planer. I did, but there are other videos as well on KZfaq doing it 😊

I don't own a thickness planer yet. They do throw off a lot of shavings! I have a small workshop and would need to set it up outside. For now, I buy surface planed timbers. If I need to joint an edge, my table saw can do it.

@WoodworkJourney 2 жыл бұрын
There are definitely a variety of ways you can joint boards and the table saw is a good one.

Dean I just had fun cleaned my blades on my titan haven’t got the setting tool put it all back best I can and Not certain a load of black very thin shavings came out and didn’t sound good emergency stop hit they w ere either metal or plastic change the fuse but very loud first time using it so don’t know how loud it normally is. I changed clothing 😂😂 almost dived looking for slit trench. I made sure it wasn’t hitting anything and turned it no sound when turning and just ordered new blades and can’t get the setting tool as no spares other than blades and belts. Any advice or suggestions cheers steve👨🏼‍🦽

Hi can I ask you on your thicknesser the bit your bed sits on when fully down on does yours have a couple of divots and a nylon nut on it. Mine are on right as you face the Titan opposite end to the winding Handel

Hi Dean, nice series of videos! Quick question... I bought a titan table saw and it only works when I have the ON switch pressed in and the saw stops working when I remove it. Am I overlooking something or is it just faulty? I bought it this week and haven't been able to use it because of this problem. Cheers!
@EverymanBuilds
@EverymanBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
I too have a Titan table saw. You should be able to press ON and it'll run until either the power is switched off, or you press the OFF button. If it doesn't stay on you may have a faulty NVR switch. If you have an NVR with a cover, don't close the cover as that'll trigger the off - they're designed to be bumped closed (off) so you don't need to use hands. Mine does not have a cover on the NVR, but I bought mine ~5 years ago.

@Rian Mc I think @Everyman Builds nailed it. Sounds like you’re pushing the cover back in after turning it on. It’s meant to be floppy
