Silverstorm 344944 1800 W Bench Planer
Solid and sturdy, the Silverstorm Bench Planer will be an integral part of your workshop or garage setup.
Boasting a 1800 W motor, hardwood, softwood and plastics are rapidly cut with no fuss, quickly getting you to your desired finish. This makes it ideal for carpenters, hobbyists, those in the construction industry or DIYers with an interest in woodworking.
The Silverstorm 344944 has a 150 mm maximum planing width, with a 3 mm max planing depth. A built-in extraction function ensures chippings, sawdust and debris are quickly removed from the workpiece during engagement, so the area stays clean and tidy to improve efficiency (as well as making life easier when clearing up).
The included adjustable fence aids precision and accuracy and can be adjusted between 45 degree and 90 degree to give the user excellent control and cope with irregular-shaped stock.
Mains-powered with a heavy-duty, cast metal base, it provides consistent power and quality results, matched with durability.
A proactive anti-kickback safeguard prevents dangerous blade movements and promotes smooth operation and the blade cover prevents debris from flicking up towards the user.
Although you'd hopefully never have to use it, an emergency stop button will instantly cease operation as a precaution against damage or injury.

150 mm planing width and 3 mm depth for fast stock removal.
Adjustable fence tilts between 45 degree and 90 degree for ideal user control.
Built-in dust extraction port compatible with most dust extractors.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2017I have only had chance to test it out a couple of times so I can't comment on reliability or how long the blades last, but I'm very happy with what it can do. It's worth spending some time setting it up (as per the instructions) to ensure the fence is square and the table is correctly calibrated. I had to mess around fitting some extra washers behind the fence to get the angle correct but this wasn't really a big deal. I tested it with some wood from an old pallet and was very pleased to find that I ended up with some nicely planed planks with square edges. It is a noisy machine and I highly recommend bolting it to your work bench so it doesn't walk off when in use. I'm surprised that it doesn't come with a push stick because you don't want your fingers anywhere near those spinning blades, I would also recommend safety glasses and definitely use the extraction port to vacuum away the plentiful wood shavings.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2020Awful and not worth the money, very, very disappointed. Nowhere does it say that it has a limit to the height of the piece to be planed "safely". By removing the guard any sized wood can be planed BUT with the guard removed there is nothing stopping the timber kicking back. So here goes, the MAXIMUM DEPTH IS LIMITED TO 65mm...it differs from one end of the guard to the next due to the support bracket being held onto the machine by the thinnest piece of tin they could find. I know size isn't important but the picture makes this thing look huge when it certainly is not. The base of the machine is a plastic shell masquerading as metal. The extraction orifice isn't a standard UK size so this will need to be adapted. I have 4 off 100mm x 100mm posts to plane on all 4 sides, not looking forward to it, wish me luck!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2020Apologies in advance but other reviews have already said pretty much everything I would (both good and bad) so instead I thought I'd try to help other owners who might be having difficulties. I was getting frustrated that none of the planed results seemed to have a right-angle anywhere among them no matter how carefully I set up the fence or fed the workpieces. They were visibly off by a good 3 or 4 degrees even after a very careful setup. If you're having this problem too, there are 2 main issues which are easily fixable and 1 which is less so. I'll deal with the easy ones first.
Firstly, the fence. As others have already noted, it's pretty bad; not well fitting and not able to stand up at a full 90 degrees. The issue is that the brackets holding the whole assembly to the machine force the fence out of true when fully tightened, and there is not enough tolerance left in the vertical fence guides to compensate. This means that the fence sits at about a 92-93 degree angle from the bed at maximum. I tried to file the bracket to allow a little more movement but there was so little metal to play with that I was scared of weakening it to the point of failure.
My solution (and I'm not proud of this) is a few hits with a deadblow mallet on each of the black uprights behind the fence, and checking each time with a try square until it lined up. This works but start gently! I'm sure there is a more engineering solution but this worked for me.
Secondly, I made the mistake of assuming that the blade had been set up at the factory when it was installed so I hadn't immediately checked it. I wish I had as when I finally eliminated the fence issue and still wasn't getting good cuts, I had a close look at the blade with a straight edge and saw immediately that it was lower on one side that the other. I followed the blade replacement guide in the utterly appalling manual and was eventually able to loosen the ridiculously tight nuts (hint: they loosen clockwise when looking from the infeed bed to the outfeed bed) and then used the supplied gauge to reseat them. This isn't particularly tricky but no matter what, wear cut-proof gloves and keep the drum in an upright position otherwise it's possible to set the blade level but so high that it will hit the infeed bed (make sure you fully rotate the drum by hand with the infeed bed on the 0mm mark before firing it up).
Final tip is to ensure that you press on the curved ends of the alignment gauge with finger and thumb of one hand and not the top bar whilst you retighten the nuts. This is because the spring pressure behind the blades is just sufficient to lift the ends and ruin the alignment unless each is held flush to the outfeed bed.
These are the 2 easy fixes which made the machine usable for me. However the other elephant in the room is the aforementioned infeed and outfeed beds. Not only are these not perfectly flat, but because only the infeed table adjusts, there's a notable fulcrum around the blade drum, especially at the lowest depth settings. At best, this results in a snipe and at worst a tapered cut. The "solution" to this is a better machine design, but a workaround (short of stripping the machine and shimming) is, counterintuitively, to use a higher setting (1mm rather than 0.5mm). The reason for this is that the higher settings lower the infeed table down and away from the drum bringing it more level with the outfeed. This means less of a pivot over the blade drum but obviously more material being removed so test setting with scrap wood first.
Overall, I wouldn't buy this again nor recommend it to any but the most cash-strapped diy-er (like me!). If you on't mind tinkering, it can be made usable but requires too much finessing in order to yield only average results.
Hope this helps someone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottima per piccoli lavori
Ottima per piccoli lavori. Non adatta all'utilizzo prolungato per surriscaldamento.
Consiglio la rimozione della gratta metallica alla base in quanto lascia accumulare troppa segatura e conseguente surriscaldamento.
Meglio piallare a spessori non superiori ad 1mm e preferire fare più passate. Eviterete di mettere troppo in sforzo il motore.
Ovviamente da usare con un'adeguata aspirazione come ogni utensile di questo tipo.

5.0 out of 5 stars bon produit
le produit semble de bonne qualité on verra à l'usage c'est l'avenir qui nous le dira
pourquoi mettre une clé qui ne sert a rien il n'y a que deux boulons à serrer par contre il y a un dizaine de vis et pas de tournevis
les gens qui achètent ce genre de matériel ont les outils nécessaires.
par contre aucune information sur le montage et démontage des fers et les références pour en changer
après utilisation impossible de trouver des fers de rechange même silverline n'en propose pas
donc pour les futurs acheteur : produit a éviter

5.0 out of 5 stars LA CALIDAD Y EL PRECIO
Menudo Cepillo de carpintero no se puede pedir mas con un precio increíble. Si os gusta la carpintería no
lo dudéis este es el cepillo ideal con sus 15 cms. de ancho 65 cms de largo. De sobremesa ligero en su peso fácil de transportar, regulacion milimetrica exacta , Hacia mucho tiempo que lo andaba buscando si es cierto que en el mercado hay multitud pero no a este precio tan asequible
Saludos ANTONIO MARTIN

Ich habe den Abrichthobel praktisch täglich im Einsatz, auch für Hartholz und das problemlos. Für alle kleineren Teile unter 1m perfekt. Sehr einfach einzustellen und sehr präzise, habe ich eigentlich um diesen Preis nicht erwartet. Klare Kaufempfehlung
