Hi, Matt, great video! What's the brand of your machine? Thanks. Thanks. Just find it in another video from you. Thanks.
You gave me the answer! Thanks! Thickensser first!
Frankly one of the clearest, comprehensive tutorials explaining what these machines do and how they differ. I learned loads! Thanks Matt
As a retired bench joiner of 30 years that was a perfect explanation, clear and precise. Nice one Matt.
Finally... Been confused by UK/USA terminology on planner, thicknesser and jointer for the past two years and now a crystal clear explanation.. Thank you Matt
Absolutely EPIC intro!! Keep up the great work Matt
Awesome tutorial video, I wish this was explained when I bought my first jointer. I was guilty of pushing down on the boards and getting all kinds of different shapes but not square. I could find one video out there Marc Spagnuolo aka the WoodWhisper asked what I was doing wrong. First question he asked “ how hard are you putting on the tables and he walked me through it and all is working well. I won’t tell ya how much wood I wasted learning. Matt perfect explanation. Take care my friend
Incredible how easy it is to understand when you explain!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You answer questions that no other woodworker even make.... Perfect!!
I'm researching a little before buying my first jointer/thicknesser, this is easily the best intro video I've seen on the subject, and I watched a few of them by now.
Great work!
Same here
Which device did you settle on buying and how's it going for you after all these months. (I assume you bought one 😀
@@solomon4332 Yes I did, I ended up on a holzmann 260 mm combined planer/jointer.
As a newbie I'm probably not the best reviewer, but I'm very pleased with result the machine produces, better than my expectations.
Both for the surface quality as well as the precision, my skill is the limiting factor.
The procedure when switching between jointing and thicknessing is bit "fiddly" and time consuming - but it's worth it considering the saved space.
And the joy of properly jointed wood every time when gluing a panel is hard to describe!
@@NomenNescio99hey, thanks for replying. I've been looking for trusted products that's not American as we don't use 120V where I live. I'll give these a look.
I'm a newbie too but live in West Africa where the lumbers are mostly rough- I'll be needing it often.
@@solomon4332 The model number for the planer I got is HOB260ABS_230V.
I've used it mostly for for softwood/pine, and the occasional piece of oak as well.
The blades are replaceable, but my first set is still in good condition.
The reseller advised me not to buy their slightly more expensive models called something "ECO" as their motors had less powers.
That was a really good explanation of the differences between a jointer/planer and a thicknesser. It also explained what one is trying to achieve when dimensioning wood as well as the pitfalls. Well done.
A person that has knowledge is a joy to listen to 👍 and even better when they say they don’t know. Love your channel mate keep the good work coming
I’ve always struggled to understand between the two machines and this video totally cleared that up! Thank you so much
Unrelated to the video, but I've just gotten into woodworking about 6 months ago and I really appreciate the helpful videos. Love the "how to make xxxxxxxxxx joint by hand" videos
Good intro! I enjoyed the vid.IMHO you’re definitely filling a “gap” that other guys aren’t....Thanks
Cheers Tom, glad to hear it!
Matt, I am impressed with your knowledge base. I'm a Hobby Machinist (metal) but I really enjoy your videos on woodworking. Well explained and easy to follow. Thank you.
Great video and explanation. I have watched so many and read a lot of sites and they are all confusing. You made it simple. Many thanks
Hi Matt, THANK YOU! Great video and logical explanation. I’m in Australia and I have found most things with regards to references are based on the USA but your video was clear. I’m so pleased I purchased a drop saw, router, jig saw and then a ‘Thicknesser’ but I plan on picking up a jointer next for the exact reasons you stated - I want to lift my game and make some nice furniture not just hobby pieces. Great work, I’m going to check out some of your other videos now!
Great video, wish I’d found your video first before wasting my time on dozens of other CZcams videos that just confused me! You are an excellent tutor!!! :)
This is the first video of yours that I have found and I’m now a subscriber. I’m new to woodworking and am all but useless. Love the video and it’s good to see a video from a fellow countryman using terms and measurements that I understand. I’ll be looking out for videos and any courses that you may have available
Thank so much . You’ve explained the planer thicknesser perfectly. I now have to purchase one
Thanks, mate. You explain things really well. Dig the channel, keep it up!
Explanation is on point and is quick to deliver. Very well done.
First job I did last week was to set up my Jointer/ Planer tables. They are aluminium tables on my old '70's Lurem Junior. I bought the Parf Guide system from Axminster some months ago, the Parf Sticks were the perfect straight edge for getting the tables horizontal and level. I planed and thicknessed my T&T Sapele to Brace my biscuit jointed Front Gate, after seven years of neglect. Great instructional video, just as easy to get "Snipe" from the jointer side as the thicknesser if the tables are not set up properly. The Sapele came out perfect!
Thanks - I've learnt something today!
Mate, you cleared all the doubts i had! very very good work man
Beautifully explained!
Brilliant! Thanks Matt, subscribed!
Thanks Matt - your best yet 👌🏼🤗
Thanks for the information, and explaining the difference between English and American words, look forward to hearing more
And so concludes today’s lesson. Thanks Matt.
What a video. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Very well explained.
Very nicely explained! Thank you
Brilliant explanation. Thanks
What a clear and helpful explanation - many thanks
Really excellent presentation. Thanks
Fantastic video, perfectly explained.
Light pressure - a revelation and so obvious once you explained. I feel like a dingbert, but also enlightened and release from sloppy results. Cheers Matt.
Helped me no end!! Thankyou
Very very useful video. You've earned my follow 👍
Nicely explained Matt.
Very helpful and thorough!!
Thanks for the perfect explanation
That’s so helpful! Thank you for this
I am an old retired bus driver who has taken up a bit of woodwork in my spare time. You sir are an amazing teacher, and I have taken every point that you have made and understood completely. Thank you very much young man. Excellent......
Thanks, really helpful.
Fantastic explanation very precise and clear......thank you!
Really useful video a learning curve for me. Thank you.
Nice break down.quite informative👍
Your tutorials and educational videos are fantastic. Every time I click on one, I learn something new or refine something I thought I already understood. Thanks for making these!
Thank you very much Colin. Glad to hear they are of assistance!
very well explained and informative
Thank very much explained everyone everything perfectly.
Got my thumbs up as soon as you started goofing out during the intro! Proper well done - of course the educational part was well appreciated too
Hahaha cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks, very useful to me as I knew non of that stuff! Also very well presented.
your videos are fantastic, all are top notch. This video answered a question for me as to whether I can get by with a power planer (thicknesser) and a lie-neilson jointer planer (or a #62). I was trying to avoid buying both machines and incorporating some hand tools into my massive power tool collection as well. My thought was i could 4 square boards easily with those two capabilities, and it's great that someone with your depth of knowledge in woodworking could confirm it for me. thanks for your very clear, thorough and concise explanation.
Coolest into yet!
Very good communicator. Well done
well presented and informative video thanks...subscribed
Brilliant video/explanation Matt. I'm new to woodworking and have a lot to learn. Your explanation regarding the difference between a jointer and a thicknesses was great. I have already invested in a table saw so will take your advice to prioritise a thickneser when needed. The jointer can wait a while. 'Have subscribed to your chanel and look forward to viewing your other videos.
Thank you.
Nicely explained.
Also congratulations for not bitching about what the yanks call it, that must've taken great strength.
Well explained. Thanks
Thanks Matt.
Great video, first video I watched and all my questions answered, in one video, great job
now following you, 👍 🇦🇺
Thank you very very much, perfect video I was very confused!!
Yup. Covered all of that in one hit. Nice video Matt.
Great video- thanks for making, really clear and covered all the questions I had about this! You need to include some links to tutorials on ‘negotiating skills’ & ‘difficult conversations’ as I suspect this will be the next stage for most people as they attempt to convince wives that a new purchase is on the horizon!
Amazing tutorial 💪
great info, I feel old, but not too old to learn, subbed.
very informative. thank you
it sure got the confusion out my mind now about the planers thanx
When I saw the title I thought I wouldn't learn anything, but I certainly did! Nice job Matt, and fun intro. Like to see you pushing the boundaries with your video skills.
Thank you Andrea! I feel honoured that you still watched it despite knowing the difference! Much appreciated :)
Ive been so confused as thr youtube videos I watch usually say jointer but when i search for a jointer on diy suppliers websites in the uk i get planer thicknesser lol i now know that that does both. Im goig to buy one and a table saw next weekend. Awesome video dude good explanation. 👊
Fantastic, high quality video :)
really informative I have learnt a lot from this , and I am 67! cheers.
Very impressed, you make things a lot plainer (I said it). will now subscribe to your channel. Thanks Carl
Great explanation on both machines
Nice. Before I watched, I thought "I know the difference" and I do. But there was certainly new knowledge for me in this video.
Thanks. Learnt a lot!
Well explained.
Really helpful thankyou
Brilliant video, thank you. Got a new sub 👍🏻
I’m a wood machinist and bench hand joiner, and you should definitely talk about orientation of the timber over the “surface planer” and under the “thickness planer”. We call the jointer a surface planer, or the jacker (after the jack plane) always have done. Great video always full of information.
Cheers Tom. Yes I was going to do a separate video on how to actually use the machines properly. This one is simply to explain the difference between the two. I haven’t heard the name Jacker before!
Thanks a lot for the reply Matt. Yes I'm not sure if the name differs depending on what part of the UK you are from I'm from lancashire up north.. But yes I've always been told its been called a Jacker or a surface planer, surface planer being the "proper" name and jacker being taken from the trusty old jack plane. Or atleast that's what i've been told, i could very well have been lied too for the past 5 years!! keep up the videos very informative!!! techniques are always different and ive been lucky to learn from a great bunch of lads it would be nice to see how you use the jointer to remove cups, bows, twists you get the idea looking forward to the video, i may even learn something or two from it to improve my technique.
That was helpful thanks
Brilliant!
Thanks Matt, I'm a novice woodworker who uses Men in Sheds (Age UK) charity based workshop and I did wonder what the jointer was for, now I now great explanation :-)
You cleared up a bunch of problems I've been having!! Thank you
Quality, that’s great to hear!
Got to Love Axminster Trade!
Many thanks for explaining and demonstrating the essential differences between a planer and a thicknesser. You’ve also explained why some machines are called “jointers” when they’re really planers. Your vocal delivery is clear and precise but rather fast. I found myself having to concentrate too much on the subtitles. Never mind, I’ve got an excuse for watching your superb presentation again. 😊
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. You answered my main question at 14:57.... I'm off to watch the video on cutting boards.
I am a new subscriber, they are very good ones your vídeos brother!!
Thank you my friend! Good to have you here
I'm not sure there's any point in me watching anyone else's videos anymore, yours are so informative, expertly explained and well produced. Thank you for sharing such awesome content. Mind you, I will still need to look elsewhere for my skateboarding dogs videos ;-) :-)
Hahaha always a pleasure Maria! I did want to make a skateboard at some point. Also if I grow my hair out to the length it used to be, I could definitely pass as an Afghan Hound. Watch this space ;)
That’s such a lovely machine! Great video matt, now I understand how you can produce such consistent great content after that intro 🤪 Jamie
Yea I usually do all the work while one of them does all the house chores and the other one keeps the girlfriend happ.... OH WAIT A MINUTE.
Excellent
exalent intro!
Great video, im subbing
Crystal clear
Absolutely perfect explanation. Tried to explain to my wife once why I need both a jointer and a planer/thicknesser. Spent almost half an hour and left her confused and slightly annoyed. Had this video been around back then I could have just said 'Watch this while I go shopping.'
Hahaha the amount of times I see this exact thing happen while working at Axminster is hilarious.
Thanks man 🤙🤙🤙
Amazing! I have this machine in my classroom! But I had no idea about the thicknesser function. 🙂 I've been thrown in as a "wood works" teacher with no prior experience in two schools (in Sweden) 😅
Thanks Matt that was very useful and a good "school day" for me. Though have to admit that I'm very jealous of your "planer" (lol) Just wish my budget would stretch that far. B-Wishes

THANK YOU. I have some quite badly bowed oak beams (fire place surround) and been absolutely baffled with all of terminology. Subscribed
