Great review, mate. I have the Sherwood 10" Thicknesser/Planer Combo. I purchased it second hand from Dirk. Once I got it home, I swapped out the straight cutters for a helical spiral cutter. The difference was mind-blowing. Night and Day. I absolutely love the machine. It transforms the worst timber into dressed pieces of gold. Hands down, my best purchase to date. Second best purchase would have to be the metal detector. I've got the same one as you, purchased from Carbatec. Anyway, can't see myself ever being without this machine, game changer to say the least.
Thank you Chris, much appreciated. I always referred to my old thicknesser as a time machine - old stuff goes in and new stuff comes out! But absolutely mate, they are a game changer and worth every penny when working with old timber.
Just grabbed one from a scrap yard. Seized motor bearings and a shredded belt. Otherwise looks to be in ok condition. The cutter head bearings seem to be in ok condition but will get replaced at the same time. It's a fairly quirky machine to disassemble and motor and cutter bearing s will basically have it pulled down to the last nut and bolt. The motor housing is almost entirely plastic with the exception of the end cap and a sleeve cast into the other end to take the bearing. I'm keen to see how the machine runs and try a spiral head thicknesser for the first time.
Where you been Ryan? A planer/thicknesser, with a spiral cutter head, is a huge asset, especially when you are working with "sketchy" lumber and of course the metal detector! I need proper instructions or sometimes you can find good help on UA-cam. I once took a tool back to the store because the manual/instructions was crap, not even proper English...I said to the guy, "Take back your tool, I did not even take it out of the box, these instructions don't work for me. Can I have my money back please." He looked at me like I was nuts! I am glad you love your planer/thicknesser!
Sorry Juliet, I am slow getting videos uploaded and thanks so much for watching. You did the right thing taking the machine back, I can imagine the look on his face hahahah

Hi Ryan, Looks like a good thickness machine. Features such as thickness adjustment and lock system are very nice. Keep doing great work with this thickness machine. Thank you for the introduction and detailed information. (always pay attention to the metals on the wood) :-) I wish you a nice weekend. See you. Big greetings. ....
I bought the same machine a few months ago. i am just about done setting up my dust collection, so i will be able to run it and get some timber looking good! I do wonder why the stops are in imperial, not metric! I'm glad to see that i bought a good machine. Cheers
Love this Ryano!!! Oh the boomer logic!! I find so many gaps in the manuals. I have the Sherwood Helical head and love it. I think its very much the same as the Carbatec one. I like that lock feature on yours! Great review and information. The Sherwood has those measuremnts on the side and I never knew what they were either so now I know. Perfect. Thanks Ryan!!
hahahah damn boomer logic!! It is fascinating to me that so many people relate to my confusion as to what all the features are, i'm so glad I put this out there! Thanks for watching Ainsley.
Thanks Ryan for sharing this. I am very new to woodworking. I bought mine a few months ago at a local store who I got very little help from to set up. I only found out about the lock from a Facebook group. I also spent ages levelling the infeed outfeed that was causing snipe. I just learned about the turning of the blades, commonly used depth settings and depth marker warning from you. I guess young people relies on social media for answers which shouldnt be the way (if the manual was good). Thanks again!
Hi Julian, thanks for watching. That is really interesting and I am so glad that I was able to help you join the dots on some of the features. Do you have this exact thicknesser or one that is similar?
@@OzSawdustMakers yup the exact same one.. our local store isn't a carbatec though. I'm in Launceston in Tasmania which only has one smallish woodworking store. The guy was okay but I struggled to get him to sell me things I need to set myself up as a woodworker. I had to make several return trips for the dust extractor (didn't realise I needed one), then another return trip for the hose clamp for the dust port, then yet another one for stands.... I'd appreciate if you could consider doing an equipment set up video! From dust extraction to calibrating your bandsaw. Just the basics of each tool and your recommendation. But youre doing great work already so thank you!
@@julianchang9234 Oh wow Julian that sounds like a massive pain in the bum!!! Thanks for the guidance with providing information and I will do my best but I also hope that you get a local supplier that can do the right thing and guide you along your woodworking journey.
Hi Ryan, I have a Dewalt 735 and love it, but I totally agree with the need for a metal detector, I have the same one as yourself (detector that is) , nothing sadder in the shop that that noise when you find a nail or screw, totally wrecks your day :( I agree it is one of my favorite tools, I am currently recycling an old white cedar staircase and the thickness plainer is invaluable.
Great review Ryan, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting on of these since they came out. I’ve been hesitant as I had a 12” jet thicknesser and it couldn’t handle reclaimed Aussie hardwood at all. Looks like this might be a better unit.
Is very nice! I just spent a good few minutes staring into space at my desk trying to work out where the smeg I could fit one of these in my shop.... might have to get creative.
Mate, they really are a game changer. I reckon the best way for your space would be inside a cupboard with the slide out, flip up type thingamajigs. Thanks for watching.
I have a Ryobi Ryan. It looks like a 70s version of a pop up toaster. All green and stuff but I love it. My first attempt at laminating a table top was a disaster. It looked like I was drunk when I glued it. All lumpy and horrible. I wanted to see how this little beauty would handle the worste I could throw at it. Although it took a few passes the result was astonishing. From the ashes rose the phoenix. That same table top now sits pride of place in my sons kitchen. Talk about money well spent. ps. I think it's in the instruction book that the first piece of wood you pass through your new planer must have a nail in it. That happened to me :-(
hahahah thank you Chris, I will take your word on the first piece of wood rule!! I also had the old Ryobi before upgrading and when you see that a cheap machine can do astonishing work, spending a few more dollars gets you one that can perform miracles!!
hahahahah thanks Gradually!! Great to see you here. I was way too naive to think I could record half-decent audio in that sort of space. I can imagine the daily struggle!
Great review Ryan, mate I have a Ryobi 13” and it does me well. I have smashed the shit out of it with hard woods and changed the blades and it keeps on truckin….. but that Carbatec 13” looks fantastic….maybe when the Ryobi finally says no more I will definitely have a gander at this model. Cheers mate.
Mate, I had the old gold Ryobi before this and I flogged the guts out of it and it just kept going. This machine is light years ahead of that one and you wont regret upgrading. Thanks for watching.
Same weight as a pub meal lol. I have a 40 year old industrial quality beast, sorry cant remember the name because i am away from home. I got it from my dad and it needs an adjustment on the rollers and a new set of blades. Apart from that it still works great. Same weight as at least 2 pub meals.
Great review Ryan, thanks for pointing out some of those features like the thickness settings, lock, and the gizmo pointy thing at the front. I’ll be looking for that when it comes time to get my own thicknesser. Does the Carbetec offer models made this century or are they all from the 1800’s with the inches and the who-ha-ray? Might start an Etsy store selling stickers to go over the old speak ones converting them to mm. I assume you joint the timber first? Didn’t show us doing that. Great job mate. Beard looking good too.
Looks like very soon the missus is going to find out about yet another "old" piece of machinery that I've had for ages *wink*. Great review mate and may have convinced me to spend money I haven't got on something I've wanted for ages and will have my bollocks removed for if she finds out. She's always been able to sense it when I'm within cooee of Carbatec here in Sydney... Cheers - Dave
@@OzSawdustMakers Mate - that sucker is mine! Actually, my missus bought it for me - can you believe it. Aussie chicks are awesome. Yesterday I completed building an 800mm stand for it, with a foot-operated lever to raise/lower wheels so I can position it and then raise the trolley wheels and it's fully stable. Great fun! Cheers and big thanks - Dave
Just finished setting mine up and this is exactly the video I needed. Cheers cobber, got a sub from me. My machine is the same part number but they must have updated it a bit because the dust port on mine only has one outlet and is held in place by two screws. Of course the instruction manual says it has two outlets and is held on by three screws... Good on 'em. The only machine I have bought that had 100% bang on instructions was my dust extractor from Hafco, and that's because they included their own detailed instructions along with the manufacturer instructions. P.S love the way you deal with the expert dickheads in comments lol.
Thanks for the positive comments Rob, I really appreciate it! That's funny about your machine having the one port. This particular model has probably changed again somewhere to make life difficult for the next person! 😂
@@OzSawdustMakers Yep, and I've quite often had manuals that are driven more towards another model machine that is similar but not exactly the same as the one I purchased, that really grinds me...
Hey Ryan. Great Thicknesser ( google spell check ??? ) Definitely better than the one i purchased in many ways ?? I purchased a GMC same thing as a Sherwood ? Ryobi etc etc Thicknesser some years ago only use it occassionally but Definitely handy to have. Can be a bit of a pain IF you run out of jobs to with it though ?? Not the easiest thing to find a space for storage. Like you, I need to replace the blades which are one piece unlike yours with Inserts. Don't use it much now. But when i do i need to find out where the grooves are ???? Love the Dust Extraction set up on Your machine. One thing you do need though IF you Own or Buy one, is a decent dust extractor with decent storage space for the chips ?? Because their are Plenty, LOL. Always enjoy watching your videos. Not so much for what's in the videos. But more so Who is in them. All the best. Peter.
Thank you Peter that is very kind of you to say and I really appreciate it. You are spot on about a separator for the dust extractor, these machine produce a tonne of sawdust - which is exactly why they are so useful!! I can picture your GMC which is a handy little unit, i think (maybe!) that the $20 Ryobi blades at Bunnings will fit in that machine and then you will get a nice flush finish. Thanks for watching mate.
@@OzSawdustMakers Great to know the Blades are available from Bunnings. It was where my GMC Thicknesser actually came from. Back in the days when Bunnings would stock the GMC range. It has definitely been a handy machine to have. The purchase was a little overkill for how much i planned to use it ?? But i have used it to make some replacement Door Steps out of Merbau then finished them with a Router for the water line rebate ( IF that makes sense ?? LOL ) then Belt Sander to finish it off. A am a bit of a Closest Wood Worker, LOL. Something i enjoyed when i was younger but eventually that was replaced with my current work. Still have all the equipment. Not totally sure what i will do with it long term as my Son is not much good at anything to with his hands. Unfortunately fairly typical of the kids these days. Must make time one day to get up and see you. I am not far from the Dandenong Ranges.
@@weldmachine It is interesting though that you are a handy bloke but you focus on metal. The cheap 'lunchbox' thicknessers are absolutely worth the money even if you use it every couple of years. and mate, I hear ya. It'll be great when we're allowed out again to be able to catch up with all you legends!
Hi Olly, I really cannot compare sorry because I have not used the DeWalt. But It seems to me that if you can afford it, then go for it because those who have it rave about it. Cheers mate!
I work a lot with old reclaimed hardwood, and looking for a tool to clean it up on all sides. Would you recommend a thicknesser or a jointer? I'm finding my brain is having a hard time getting around what the difference is, and I can only choose one right now.
@@JNDCreations Yeah mate, the lock eliminates snipe but it was more an extra safeguard if you were running stuff through it repeatedly, and lock it, despite the constant vibration and use the depth wont move at all.
I bought and paid for a Makita 13 inch thicknesser. I thought I'd got it On-Line from local Mitre 10. Their rules and regs of ordering say "if it ain't in stock, wait for up to 15 days.

Now what do I do? Buying a Carbatec I see as a step backwards (according to the comparison videos I've seen) The Yankee DeWalt I can't afford. Ryobi and Ozito are cheap and nasty. It sounds like a Carbatec, but I'm not sure, it's $155 cheaper than the Makita (I'm talking about the 13 inch 317 not the 330) I'm not game to buy a used unit, I've been caught too often with pre-owned stuff. Living in the bush isn't exactly conducive to buying power tools. The only place to see one is a 400Km trip away. Maybe I should give up wood work and try taking up knitting. :-)
@@OzSawdustMakers Well, I ended up asking Carbatec for a price delivered and it was $998 delivered. I went back to Ebay and Carbatec themselves had it for $699 delivered. Figure that one out. I ordered it and fully expected a problem, but within 6 days the unit arrived on a purpose made pallet along with a spare set of blades. I used to think Christmas only came once per year, I was wrong. 🙂
