Hello scrollers
Anyone want to venture posting how I got these "toothpick like" shavings?

It almost looks like thin rip cut scraps from BB plywood, or possibly even solid wood, but thats purely a guess.A second guess would be trimming possibly veneer or veneer tape with a razor blade.

looks like shavings from a planer. At least, that's where mine come from! Trying to take too much off at one time and clogging up the vacuum.

G'day WD,
I'd say you fed a piece of timber through the thicknesser, short grain. eg side ways.

Why is it that in Australia it is referred to as a thicknesser and in the states its a planer?I've heard it referred to that way in the past, and I did notice that the tool places down under call them that in their descriptions, so it must be politically correct to say thicknesser there?

Have always called it a "Thicknesser" from the time of my apprenticeship and that's too long ago

A "Buzzer" is sometimes referred to as a "Planer" in Oz. I think it is what you blokes would call a "Jointer".

You're not the only one, John. It's called a thicknesser where I live too. To me, a planer is what Americans would describe as a jointer.

Didn't someone once say something along the lines that the Americans and British are a people divided by a common language? It looks like we can throw the Aussies into the mix too .
