Durden
Tugger.
I don't have a thicknesser but I do have the manual for the Up10-600 and UP12-600.
A great little machine if you don't mind the dust.They do require a little attention to tuning, especially the planer tables.
I can copy the manual and fax it to you but I'm not sure how you would get your No to me.
I think you have to click on my name and then go to private message so if you want to try please reply

Tugger,
I had a thicknesser attachment for the pacemaker and seriously do not recommend using it. There is no power feed and the first bit until it gets onto the rear table is hairy. Kick back is uncontrolled except by your hands and the finish is not great.
It would be worth your while spending the money and buying a small 12" thicknesser for around $300-400. and for the record Dad and I pulled the attachment apart and scrapped it.Have a nice day - Cheers

Thanks for the tip Wood Butcher. No point throwing good money after bad. I had a quick look at a TOOLEX 13" x 6" planer moulder at gasweld couple days ago. 2HP, 2 speed feed. Fair bit of money @ $995 but if the machine is good, I think money well spent. Do you know anything about this machine?
Cheers

Sorry, no.
There a a lot of members here that have something similar to the Ryobi AP-13 planer and are happy with it. Would be a lot cheaper option since you already have the surfacer on the durden.Have a nice day - Cheers

I have a manual for the Pacemaker if you need a copy few holes here and there from storage. All i can say is be very very careful with the jointer. it claimed half my little finger when it kicked back. i still have not used that part of the machine again . but the table saw side of it works great

While we are dredging up old Pacemaker threads, I am looking for the disk sander/boring attachment if anyone has one to sell
PeterThe other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

The lack of power feed on the Durden makes the thicknesser dubious.

Thickness attachment for Durden Pacemaker
I have a thicknesser attachment for the Durden Pacemaker.
After spending a fair bit of time fiddling with it I decided it's not worth the effort.
Mine has been left in the tool box since about 1980 unused. Maybe one day I'll think of a use for it.
If your still interested in trying it make me an offer.

Does anyone know how to remove the saw blade and spindle from a Durden UP12-600? I want to use a different saw blade and sharpen the old blade and sharpen the thicknesser/planer.
Thanks in anticipation

I hope you got that thicknesser attachment... I’m wondering if you have put up any posts on YouTube showing how to use the different functions on this machine?
Ive just “inherited” one & would like to use it much more.
