I can see how that will help in some cases . But its very dangerous isnt it .
So how do i remove the key ? Grin

naaahhh no danger as the dust extraction is a typical afterthought Grin

the blades are enclosed with the guard and like any machine you dont enter an enclosed area or pass onto or over a machine bed if theres no need to or untill a safe working practise is in place keeping your mits more than a hands length away from danger Roll Eyes

often with the use of a push stick or 2 Grin

the key is just one off the wedges[on the dust extractor attachment] released by turning the screw a few times and clipping it in the fence side "wedge" slot

Mine turned up today :-D I was a bit worried when i could lift the box myself and after opening it i spent the first half hour laughing . It looks like a Fisherprice my first planer / thicknesser :-D :-D
Still i had some stock that needed thicknessing and i found it to be a great bit of kit Shocked

Im very happy with it Grin

i am well pleased with mine toooo Grin

i have only been "playing "with odd lengths off wood and making lots of smaller even odder bits as i have no specific task for it yet Grin

hows your fence!!!!!

my quote"one slight problem that i noticed earlier though is the fence is slightly hollow along part of its length ok top and bottom and either end

looks like i will have to front it with 6mm ply or mdf to take out the hollow " !!!

i must admit i do find colour schemes and actual colours funny also JFC...
a few years ago i was party to initial testing on the Hitachi impact drivers prior to being fully launched /rolled out nation wide.. and the one i was given to test is made up of LIME GREEN and a sort of DAYGLO' SILVER FLAME STYLE body, and my grand kids refer to it as the RAY GUN!!!!!
it really does look like a kiddies toy gun!!! funny or what, but they let me keep it after the test, so , hey ho , not quite as funny, but it sure as hell has been one GREAT bit of kit!!! still going strong, and with the abuse i give it!!! Grin

AS HONEST AND LOYAL AS THE TIMBER-WOLF. --VAR@*SH, DON'T YOU SWEAR AT ME!! PAL!!&&I DON'T SUFFER FROM INSANITY- I DAMNED WELL ENJOY IT!!!!!

I think it needs extensions on the in and out feed tables for bigger jobs but it got me out of trouble . The Lutz goes hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm This goes weeeeeeeeeeeeee but does the job .
