Reviewing the Titan Planer Thicknesser TTB579PLN after over 2 Years of use.
This is a budget tool from Screwfix that is based in the UK. You can pick it up for £159.99 and it offers a fairly good value for money. This machine can be used for both jointing and reducing the stock to the correct thickness. Its small foot print makes it perfect for smaller workshops. But check out my video to find out what issues you may come across when you buy this machine.

I’ve had mine for 5 months now and I’ve battered it stupid, and it’s still going strong. Recently used it to convert loads of old wood from the garden (pergolas etc) into decent stock to use for table tops. If you plan your job well then changing from one role to another is a doddle. Use the jointer to set the face side and edge on all of your timber pieces and then the thicknesser when your squaring the them all up. I also use a shop vac and cyclone for dust and it collects just fine from both ends of the Titan, and when you’re using the thicknesser you deffo need something to collect as the thing throws stuff out like a snow canon! Good review though, thank you.

Think you must have got a bad example. I got mine 18 months ago, and have very little trouble. It's noisy, but nowhere near as bad as yours. It takes me maybe 10 minutes AT THE MOST to change from jointer to thicknesser, and the jointer fence is fine. The width can be a problem sometimes, but I was aware of that when I bought it. As I rarely need to joint/plane long boards, I have no problem with the length of the bed. For the price it's a good tool, and I'm happy with it.

I love mine, and it takes me all of two minutes to change from planer to thicknesser - you just have to have the right tools at hand (well, a hex key). Might make a new fence for it, and I use a builder's straight edge to set the blade height when changing blades, as I don't rate their tool. For the money - a great buy. Entry level, yes, but it does me wonderfully well.

Hi, I also live in the UK and have a Titan Planer Thicknesser, I agree with all your comments, I don’t have any near neighbour but if I had then they would probably complain about the noise. I too got over the constant changing of the dust shoot by buying two machines and leaving them up as planer and thicknesser. I would have preferred to get a cast iron machine but the next up machine in cast iron is ridicules price and one that I refuse to pay.

@CasualDIY 4 жыл бұрын

That's the problem the price gap it's just so big.... hence I still have the current set up🤔

@markhodson2930 2 жыл бұрын

Luckily I got mine given to me. I would not have paid for this machine. It was practically new when I got it, but was damaged in a few areas. The feed table wobbles, the table holding screw was also stripped. I tapped and threaded a larger bolt and have a system now where i use a 10mm spanner to tighten 2 nuts onto each other to hold steady. Does the job. 90⁰ table is warped everywhere. Loudest machine ever. Top planer is difficult to plane anything longer than 750mm in length and 100mm high. I can see using this thing for a repetitive, simple task like shaving something down that us already smallish and relatively square, but trying to take rough stock and turning it into perfect symmetrical lengths is almost impossible. I have spent a good few hours trying, but in the end am finishing the job with my cordless dewalt hand planer. Like I said. For free it was decent. I wouldn't pay for something that almost does a job right.

@garyblake3130 4 жыл бұрын

I think the main failing with this and the many clones of this machine is the fence. Not just the flimsy material it is made of but the inability to move it across the blades. Anyone who has used a surface planer as they are usually called in the trade will say you need to be able to move the fence across the bed to maximise the blades when edging. I know its only about 8 inches across but you do not want to keep jointing with the same area of the blades, they will soon become dull in that area preventing good edge jointing of your boards. I think a good video would involve a modification to the fence to allow it to move across the blades, others have tried to do this but usually out of wood which would not be as good as perhaps making it out of metal. Food for thought?.

@CasualDIY 4 жыл бұрын

That's a very good thought. From my perspective the investment in this machine is over. I would rather buy something else at this stage as it just doesn't meet my needs🤔

Looks to be very similar to the Ferrex Thickness/Planer from ALDI @ £160 and the one I have is a piece of shite! Might be just a bad one, but after trying to make some warped/twisted CLS straight on one of the widest sides, it's just making it worse. It's actually badly cupping the timber along it's length and that's without putting much downward pressure on the timber either. Any advice?

This tool has got the thicknesser in it and the jointer on top. Both of them use the same "roll" with blades.
