Wadkin FM24 Wood Planer Thicknesser with Dust Extraction

[@michaelpalmer8632]

Many years ago l was apprenticed at Wadkin and built these machines plus a lot of others. Fond memories of the factory and workmates.

[@cartier13]

That's so cool, thank you for helping to build such awesome machines.

[@paulsmith1981]

The build quality on these old wadkin is vastly superior to modern machines.

[@whirled_peas]

Ok the featherboard addition is genius. Sticking one on my little multico asap.

[@jackEnglishmachines]

nice arrangement on the dust

[@bondfrenchbond]

That's my dream machine, it just needs a bed extension for jointing.

[@troystaten5633]

Awesome machine. Thanks for showing us.

[@jimgriffiths9194]

I see hes dumped his dewalt thicknesser by the side of his proper machine, best thing for it

[@heardashot]

Oh my, that's a beauty.

[@edstengel2495]

That machine is a beast

[@pawelmartinchajewskicarpen7784]

What a machine wonderful

[@harveyroad6]

Nice Wadkin machine, have several in my shop. What's that yellow thing on the floor.,.. LoL

[@edstengel2495]

Once the piece was planed, you jointed one edge. This gives you three square surfaces. By then jointing the fourth side, you have made that edge out of parallel with the other jointed edge. Why did you not run the jointed edge against the table saw fence ensuring for square and parallel sides?

I was only running a board through for the purpose of showing the machine.

[@anthonymwangi7097]

I would like one of these.

[@ajayoldiesactor8636]

I need this machine. What d cost and where and how can I get it?

[@bowcutt1983]

Hi Ajay, I have one for sale if you are interested

[@wadkin1973]

Does the extraction hood catch much when your jointing the board

[@BespoakinteriorsUk]

It depends on how far over the fence is but it doesn't catch a lot really. I have another hose takeoff at the end of the planer that I use as a big hoover for the workshop floor, if I need better extraction when jointing then I usually tuck this in the underside of the machine.

[@rajurupal1645]

How much price in this planer

[@bowcutt1983]

Hi, I have one for sale if you are interested

[@brianminghella3312]

Nice machine and you have done a good job of making the dust extraction work. I still dont like combi’s though, to much messing around changing functions.

[@michael.schuler]

Generally, I agree with you on combi's. I myself chose to go with long-bed jointer and matching width thicknesser. Instant and/or independent access to both functions can't be beaten, unless you just don't have the room or money for the two. That said, it looks like this combi doesn't require any messing around --- the jointer tables don't need to be raised out of the way. Of course, this also makes the machine unsuitable for efficient processing of shorter work pieces.
